The 31-year-old model and her fiancé Safaree Samuels confirmed pregnancy speculations on Tuesday afternoon and announced they have a baby on the way. The couple are over the moon about their upcoming bundle of joy and celebrated with beautiful images from their pregnancy photoshoots.
Mena took to Instagram on Wednesday and stunned fans with a gorgeous maternity photo of herself looking more majestic than ever.

Samuels is ecstatic about becoming a first-time father, adding in their pregnancy announcement video on October 1, “Wow, wow, it’s a big deal! Very big deal. I didn’t know I was capable of doing this. … I’m excited!”
“I’m nervous. I’m in shock. I’m in disbelief,” he continued. “It’s very surreal to me. I don’t know what to do but I know I’m going to be great at what I do because I’m great at everything.”
The 38-year-old rapper proposed to Mena on Christmas eve at her house in Atlanta. A month prior to their engagement, he claimed his fiancée was “the one” for him, telling Page Six at the time, “When I’m not with her, I get headaches because I’m just thinking about her nonstop.”
Mena and Samuels are slated to get married next week according to reports. Their wedding will appear on the upcoming season of “LHHNY.”
