After she proudly shaved her head, she not only captivated the attention of those music legends, but also of some of the biggest fashion Magazines across the world. And she obviously captivated the interest of Stan Lathan.

Pat revealed that she knew Sanaa Lathan very well because she dated her Pops starting around the time that Sanaa was 3 or 4 years old. She said that Stan was one of the major loves of her life. Here’s what she posted about Stan and Sanaa on her Facebook page:
