Samuels married the 31-year-old model on Monday, Oct. 7. Their exquisite ceremony will be shown on season 10 of “LHHNY” for viewers and fans to witness. Not to mention the couple revealed last month they are expecting their first child together.

Their unborn daughter will be Samuels’ first child. Mena, however, also is the mother of 12-year-old King Conde, whom she shares with Latin rapper Raul Conde.

Samuels celebrated the news of their unborn baby and wrote via Instagram on October 13, “I’ve been surrounded by women my whole life…. 1 more wont hurt 🎀🎀😂😂😂 My daughter is on the way 🙏🏾.”

Earlier this month, the couple gave fans a first glance at their child and posted a picture of their multi-dimension ultrasound.

“Today was everything ♥️,” Mena wrote on Nov. 3. “We got a chance to get a glimpse of our baby girl. I can seriously say she is so BEAUTIFUL already ♥️ @safaree is so excited and hands on with everything.”

Fans are already convinced that their daughter will take after Samuels’ genes.

“He’s so in love with the baby I love it 😍 that baby already look like Safaree she has his nose,” one person wrote at the time.

Another added, “Their baby is so cute already. I think she looks a little like Safaree’s sister neek”

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.
