After dating for a few months, the pair got engaged last Christmas Eve and reportedly tied the knot on Monday, Oct. 7, during a lavish ceremony, which will be shown on the new season of “Love and Hip Hop: New York.”

Mena and Samuels are expecting their first child together and recently annouced they’re having a baby girl. The 31-year-old model is the mother of a son, King Conde.

Samuels dated rapper Nicki Minaj for years, and Mena was formerly engaged to rapper/actor/TV host Bow Wow.

Mena boasted about her and Samuels’ love on Sept. 18, writing, “Getting ready to bring life into the world with a man who not only is my husband, but you have been by my side every single step of the way. You put so much energy into US and you really make sure I know I’m not alone at all. Your Mommy did an incredible job with you β™₯️.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual β€” 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.
