‘I Know Ray Happy’: Princess Love and Ray J Fans Go Crazy Over the Latest Baby Report

It looks like “Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood” couple Princess Love and Ray J Norwood purportedly are expecting a baby boy.

The couple have been somewhat discreet about their current pregnancy, but it seems new details were revealed about their new bundle of joy this week. Jasmine Brand sources claimed the pair’s latest addition to the family will be a boy, which apparently was what Ray J was hoping for.

The “One Wish” singer and his wife announced in August that they were expecting their second child in January 2020. The couple posted a family photo of themselves and their 1-year-old daughter Melody Love relaxing by a poolside. The mom-to-be displayed her adorable baby bump in a black one-piece swimsuit.

“Somebody’s gonna be a big sis 👶🏽🍼 New addition arriving Jan 2020 @melodylovenorwood @rayj#2under2 #Blessed,” Princess said via Instagram at the time.

Ray J additionally added, “Baby #2 on the way! @MelodyLoveNorwood your about to be a big sister! #Godisthegreatest @princesslove. … 👶🏽🍼 New addition arriving Jan 2020 @melodylovenorwood @rayj #2under2 #Blessed.”

Social media users have already began flooding the couple with congratulatory messages, although they’ve yet to officially confirm the gender of their unborn child.

“Awww they having the same girl boy order as Ray J n Brandy😍 congratulations. I know Ray J happy. Same way like his parents”

“Awww! I pray for a healthy baby! I love y’all! Stay a unit please aint nth out here! Stay as a family! ☝🏾🙏🏾”

“The perfect family now ♥️they deserve it!! I’m so happy for them. 👍🏾 that’s great…congrats kids.”

“Yay!!!!!!💙 Melody is Ray, Brandy, and Mrs.Sonia’s twin. They son will look just like Princess watch. Beautiful family too! Congratulations everyone 🙏🏽.”

The couple welcomed baby Melody in May 2018. Princess described motherhood as one of “the best feelings ever” that “nobody can prepare you for.”

Although Ray J never directly said he wanted a son, he did express that he wanted baby Melody to have a sibling so she could experience a similar relationship to the one he and his sister singer Brandy Norwood have.

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.
