‘That Is Scary’: Princess Love Fans Blown Away by Her Throwback Pic That Resembles Baby Melody

It looks like Princess Love and Ray J Norwood‘s daughter Melody Love inherited her mother’s “strong genes.”

Princess recently shared an old photo of herself for “Throwback Tuesday” on Instagram that left fans doing a double take. She posted a photo of herself as a child with the caption, “#tbt Little Princess.”

Several fans commented on how much the 35-year-old mother and her daughter resembled, while others mistook the 1-year-old for Princess.

“Melody looks just like you.. I’m happy for you no matter what.!! Your daughter all over again 😍😍”

“Wow LIL melody wow of wow damn that’s craY”

“Stop lying this baby Melody 😂 come tf thru with those strong ass genes 👏🏾. You two are twinsies”

“Omg you were always that cute!😩💕 I thought that was your daughter!! Wow that is scary”

Some fans also believed Melody looked like Norwood’s mother Sonia Norwood as opposed to Princess, but that continues to be a debate.

Princess and Ray J recently expanded their family and welcomed their son Epik Norwood in December. The couple spoke about wanting to have a playmate for their daughter and it seems their wish came true.

The “Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood” pair recently posted photos of their newborn son on social media and followers couldn’t believe how much the child favored his father.

“I can tell you were mad a Ray J during pregnancy. Baby look just like him girl. Your daughter is you and he is his dad. Beautiful children either way. Blessings 😇,” one fan commented on Feb. 20.

Another added, “Awww Ray he is definitely your twin. Wow! He looks just like his daddy 🧡”

As Princess and Ray J have shared in recent weeks, as a couple, they’ve been experiencing some marital woes. The model even posted a cryptic message to her IG page on Feb. 16 and wrote, “I asked God to send me a man who will always love me.. so he gave me a son 💙”

Princess also confirmed to a fan earlier this month that she and Ray J were no longer together. When a person inquired about them, she responded, “Not right now.. right now we’re just focused on the kids.”

As for now, pair’s relationship status still is unknown.

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
