Love & Hip Hop’s Ray J and Princess Love Expecting First Child After “Trying For a While”
Ray J and Princess Love are finally going to be parents.
The Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood couple has documented their infertility journey on the show, but now she's pregnant after over a year of trying. Don't you just love happy endings?!
And the way the proud dad to be announced the news is as cute as can be.
Brandy's little brother and his Princess got married in August of 2016, at which point they admitted they were already trying for a baby.
As we saw on the VH1 series, both parties got tested for infertility issues, and Ray learned he had a lower than average sperm count.
But their uh, persistence paid off — Princess is about 14 weeks pregnant and due this summer.
"Love is on my mind. Love is on my heart,” the dad to be gushed on The Real.
“Princess and I are expecting. I’mma be a dad. I’m nervous, excited. It finally happened! My first one.”
Ray also admitted this baby was a long time in the making.
“I don’t know the process of it — when it actually happened, what night — but it was special because we was trying for a while,” he explained.
“It’s not as easy as people think. For some people, they just go on tour and get everybody pregnant. But for me, it was love. We took our time, and as we were taking our time, it just took a little while.”
After her husband's on-screen announcement, the mom to be revealed the news in typical fashion — with a baby bump pic!
In the heartfelt post, she explained the couple "kept this to ourselves" until after the first trimester, but they are "proud to share this journey" with fans.
But perhaps this pic was Princess's way of shutting down the rumor mill...
After the baby news broke on Monday, Princess's frenemy Moniece Slaughter took to Instagram claiming Brandy, Ray's sister, is actually the couple's surrogate.
The pop singer refuted the claims pretty quickly, posting a video of herself giving blood — something pregnant women can't do.
So there, haters!
And while it's a bit too early to find out the baby's sex, the 36-year-old does have a preference.
“I want to have a little girl first because it’s like daddy’s little girl,” Ray gushed.
“A little boy is probably going to be a little aggressive, so I just want to be able to have some peace first. But whatever God blesses us with, I’m happy.”
There were rumors in August that Princess had a bun in the oven, but those were never confirmed.
We're so happy this time it isn't just a false alarm!
