The couple secretly eloped in 2014 at a Georgia courthouse. Rivera told fans that Jan. 21 will officially make five years of marriage with Waka. The two are in the midst of planning a traditional ceremony that’ll include both of their mothers, Rivera’s 13-year-old daughter Charlie, and other loved ones.

The pair’s wedding ceremony will be held on Jan. 19, according to Rivera, and will be take place on a beach.

“Jan 21st we will be married for 5 years! We always said if we survive 5 years we will do the whole traditional ceremony, The Rings, The wedding, The Dress THE WHOLE SHEBANG,” the 32-year-old mother wrote in a post showing off her new wedding ring.

She continued, “I’m happy to announce we will be having a destination wedding the right way with our mothers by our side on Jan 19! Every since I seen the episode of Martin when him and Gina got married on the beach that was my dream wedding.”

Rivera already held her bridal shower and shared a series of photos of her $450 Linda Bezuidenhout deep-plunging V-neck dress paired with a pair of Manolo Blahnik heels, dropped earrings, and a bridal headband.

She wrote in her caption, “@WakaFlocka I think we should do this every 5 years.”

The couple are currently on the We TV series “Marriage Boot Camp: Hip Hop Edition.” The two speak about the hardships they’ve overcome in their marriage, such as Waka’s multiple affairs with other women and Rivera’s anger outbursts.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
