‘You Go Girl!’: Toya Wright’s 1-year-Old Daughter Leaves Fans Gushing Over Her Model Stance

It’s safe to say Toya Wright‘s baby girl Reign Rushing is giving fans all sorts of baby fever.

The toddler apparently made it a point to let her mother know that she stays camera-ready at all times and isn’t afraid to strike a pose right on cue. Wright shared a darling photo of baby Reign to her Instagram feed Thursday evening and dished the deets on how her daughter’s fierce pose came about.

“I can’t take this little girl…,” she wrote. “I told her to take a pic for mommy and this is the pose she gave me 🤣.”

Baby Reign posed on the stairs for a picture, propping up one of her legs while resting her left arm on the stairs.

Fans fawned over Wright’s photo, claiming the 1-year-old inherited her apparent sassiness.

The former “Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta” star welcomed her daughter into the world in February 2018 with her companion Robert Rushing. She’s also the mother of reality star Reginae Carter, whose father is rapper Lil Wayne.

Wright and Rushing waited until she was around five months pregnant to announce to the public that she was with child. They apparently wanted to shield their new life from social media’s ugly side.

“Honestly, I have learned over the years to keep as much of my personal life as private as I can,” Wright told the Shade Room last year. “That being said, while I do not plan to hide her, I do plan to shield her from the negative energy that can often come from social media.”

As far as the 36-year-old mother wanting more children, she said her two daughters are enough for the time being, although she’s not completely closed to the idea of expanding her family.

“I would love to have a baby boy, but I think I am good with my two girls. Two is enough for me. I will just make sure she has lots of play dates.”

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.
