Princess Love Changes Her Mind, Lets Internet See Achingly Cute Baby Melody Once Again

Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood” actress Princess Love pleased fans this week after posting a picture of her 7-month-old daughter to her social media page.

The 34-year-old mother told fans in December that she would “never” post baby Melody again on any of her social pages due to negative comments attacking her daughter.

“The disgusting things people [write] under the picture of a child. I WILL NEVER POST MELODY’S PHOTO EVER AGAIN ON SOCIAL MEDIA,” Love wrote on her Instagram before deleting all photos of her baby girl.

Although Love chose to stop sharing photos of her daughter, her husband, R&B singer and LHHH actor Ray J Norwood, continued sharing photos or videos of their daughter on his social media pages.

Well, it appears the reality star has had a change of heart. She posted a photo of her 7-month-old daughter on her Instagram Monday morning with a heart in the caption.

Rapper Kash Doll chimed in under Love’s comments and expressed how excited she was to photos of baby Mels again.

“Miss u!” Kash wrote. “Your mom was tryna keep u away from us.”

Fans also thanked Love for choosing to post her daughter on her social pages again.

“I’m glad you posted her again Princess I missed seeing this little face on your page 😍😍 #myovaries,” one fan wrote.

Another added, “So adorable. I’m so happy you shared a picture of your beautiful baby. Adorable! She is so cute OMG 😘.”

Love and Norwood welcomed their daughter into the world on May 22, 2018. In December, the pair expressed during an interview with BET’s Raquel Harper that they were open to expanding their family.

The 34-year-old said being a mother is one of “the best feelings ever.”

“Nobody can prepare you for what it’s actually like,” she added.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
