‘Y’all Fine’: Erica Mena and Safaree Fans Get Distracted by Their Dashing Looks in New Couple Pic

Erica Mena and her husband Safaree Samuels are apparently one of the best-looking celebrity couples, according to fans.

The 32-year-old model took to Instagram on Wednesday and posted a photo of herself, Samuels and their newest addition to the family, puppy Badman. The couple rocked color-coordinated outfits, including Mena’s brown and tan snakeskin blouse and the rapper’s patterned fur coat.

Samuels posed with his arm around the “Love and Hip Hop: New York” actress as she smiled broadly for the camera with puppy Badman in her hands. She added in her caption, “Our fur baby 😍 He has us very busy. And is very attached to Safaree already @badmanSamuels.”

Folks instantly bombarded Mena’s post on how amazing she and Samuels looked.

Mena and Samuels initially met in 2017 after they both starred on the VH1 reality series “Scared Famous.” Even then Samuels knew his now-wife was the woman for him, although she didn’t necessarily think so at the time.

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 “LHHNY.”

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

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
