‘Congratulations’: Ray J and Princess Love May Have Welcomed a Baby Boy

Congratulations are in order for Ray J and his wife Princess Love as it appears that they welcomed a baby boy.

The R&B singer uploaded a family video to his YouTube page and towards the end of the video, the couple, along with their daughter Melody Love, were seen in the hospital. Ray J put on scrubs while Princess was wheeled away into what it looked to be the delivery room.

Fans were delighted and left positive messages for the “Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood” couple.

“Congratulations princess and ray j i hope everything went smoothly on the birth of y’all baby boy❤👍😊.”

“So sweet. I love this. Family over everything.”

“Congratulations on your new baby. Praying all goes well. Hang in there Ray and Princess this thing called marriage is new to the both of you . But so worth it.💞💞.”

The last comment may be referring to the couple recent relationship woes. It’s been a little over a month since Ray J and his wife got into that nasty argument in Las Vegas right after the Soul Train Music Awards.

Thanks to social media and probably not the best decision-making, details of their fight went viral, and afterward Love said she wanted a divorce.

In one of her messages after the blowup, Love said that her husband of three years stranded her and their daughter in Vegas, while he partied it up with others.

Ray J stopped by “The Wendy Williams Show” shortly after the fight and said he and Love disagreed about where they’d reside in the future. The “Sexy Can I ” singer wanted to live in Vegas full time, while his wife wanted to remain in Los Angeles.

But Ray J later had a change of heart and admitted the blowup was all his fault. “Baby, I was wrong, you are right,” he said to the camera on Williams’ show.

The two had their baby shower a week ago at their home.

“We having the Baby shower today at the house!” Ray J captioned the video. “But we playing a game where we can’t say B A B Y – but I already lost!!! We having family fun today!! All love!! @4everbrandy #GodIsThegreatest @princesslove @melodylovenorwood I love you so much!!”

Many seemed thrilled that the couple are still together, which they mentioned in the video’s comment section.

“BeauTifuL to see You two Made up!!” one person wrote. “Thats genuine love!! YOU GUYS R BETTER THAN THAT !! WE WANT TO SEE MORE CUTE BABIES !!”

“🔥🔥❤️❤️I’m glad you guys worked it out ❤️❤️❤️ an amazing couple,” another Instagram user wrote.

“I’m sooo happy for y’all Ray!!!!!!!” a third person stated. “Keep doing your thing so happy you and your wife made up and y’all made that happen. kiss yourselves 😍🤩🤩🤩🤩🙌🙌💯💯.” 

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.
