‘Atlanta Housewives Here She Comes!’: Toya Wright Excites Fans After They Spot Wedding Ring in New Photo

A wave of engagement and wedding rumors surrounded “T.I. & Tiny: Friends and Family Hustle” actress Toya Wright this week after people swore up and down they spotted a ring on her wedding finger.

The reality star posted a photo of herself getting dolled up for her “Friends and Family” green-screen confessional. She sported a bright red blouse while posing for a selfie amid getting her hair and makeup done.

“Feelin’ Peachy today 🍑,” she wrote via Instagram, posing seductively for the camera.

Her beauty was of course praised by fans, but that was quickly over shadowed when they got distracted by the wedding ring photographed.

“Love the 💍!! You trying to tell us something..”

“OMG she jumped the broom?! Atlanta housewives here she come!”

“Robert and Toya coming soon as a married couple. I see the bling chile its beautiful! U bouta jump da broom huh……..well CONGRATULATIONS!”

Wright quickly shutdown marriage and engagement speculations, writing in the comments, “It is beautiful but that’s not mine. That’s my hairstylist ring.”

Folks didn’t buy Wright’s explanation, feeling she was trying to downplay her alleged engagement. One fan even commented, “Girl that’s your ring stop lying!! Stop running from that man and commitment! Girrlllll that’s your husband the real one!🙌🏼❤️ he love you and it shows.”

However, the gag is that the hand shown in Wright’s photo, isn’t even hers, it’s merely her hairstylist clearly brushing her hair back from her face.

It’s not surprising fans assumed the 36-year-old mother of two was married. Her storyline on this season of “Friends and Family Hustle,” has been centered around her fear of marrying long-time companion Robert “Red” Rushing after her previous failed marriages to rapper Lil Wayne and music producer Micky “Memphitz” Wright. She divorced Wayne in 2006 whom she shares 20-year-old daughter Reginae Carter with and music producer Mickey ‘‘Memphitz’’ Wright, whom she divorced in 2016.

The 36-year-old and Rushing, who’s the owner of 2 Commas clothing brand, first began dating in 2017 and welcomed their baby girl Reign Rushing into the world on Feb. 8, 2018. It was rumored the couple had gotten married, but Wright confirmed this season on “Friends and Family Hustle” that she and her partner are apparently holding off on marriage for the time being and are focused on their current business ventures such as their “Weight No More” 5K walks.

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.
