Baby Reign Rushing Upstages Big Sister Reginae Carter in Toya Wright’s Adorable Pic of Daughters’ Vacation Fun

Reality television veteran Toya Wright recently vacationed with her two daughters Reginae Carter and Reign Rushing, but it was her toddler who caused quite a buzz on the internet.

The 36-year-old mother was spotted taking a family vacation with her daughters sometime last week in what was apparently Florida. The trio appeared to be enjoying themselves, especially one-year-old Reign, who was the center of attention in Wright’s family portraits.

The New Orleans native took to Instagram over the weekend with a few photos of her toddler and 20-year-old daughter hanging out together by poolside. The sibling duo appeared to be soaking up the sun together in a picture that seems to have been taken by Wright. In one of the pictures baby Reign, who apparently was camera ready, struck a leg-cocked pose similar to her big sister’s.

“Fun in the sun with my girls. ☀️❤️ #springbreak2019,” Wright captioned the image.

Fans ogled over the reality star’s post of her daughters, but it was the one-year-old’s pose that had folks in stitches.

“Reign already knows how to pose! Check out her foot action 😍,” one fan commented.

A second fan added, “Cuteness overload! This picture is sooooo cute! Look at Reign’s pose omg.”

Someone else wrote, “Reign lil foot poses too cute 😘 Nae has already taught her the leg 👏🏾! Omg stop growing 😻😩!”

“That leg in that pose is hilarious! Reign is a mess 😂,” another said.

The “How to Lose a Husband” author is extremely protective of her children and tries to protect them from social media trolls, which is seemingly impossible.

“I honestly don’t pay attention to the haters,” she told Cosmopolitan in a December 2017 interview, a few months before the birth of Reign. “UNLESS, someone says something about my daughter, and then Mama Bear kicks in. I don’t care what people say about me, but kids are off limits. Social media is a blessing and a curse, but it is great for my businesses.”

Wright shares an extremely close bond with her 20-year-old. However, their relationship has often been criticized by folks who feel she’s not hard enough on her daughter. Nevertheless, Wright explained that she’s not only her daughter’s mother, she’s also her friend.

“Reginae and I are very close,” she further told Cosmopolitan. “I’m not only her mother, but her friend. … The advice I would give to any parent is always be open with your children. We have been very blessed!”

Still independent.

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.
