‘You Ain’t Even Show the Baby Yet, WTF’: Erica Mena Hints at Wanting to Be Pregnant, Fans Still Want to See Her Daughter

While reality TV veteran Erica Mena has been hunkering down at home with her husband in an effort to remain ‘rona’ free, it seems the baby fever bug may have gotten ahold of her.

Mena just gave birth to her first child with Safaree Samuels in February, although she also has a son from a previous relationship. For months fans and followers have been awaiting a glimpse of the little one often referred to as “Baby Girl Samuels” and jokingly as “Blanket” by her father.

Perhaps the closest thing to seeing the baby occurred in Mena’s since-deleted Instagram Story where little baby legs made a brief appearance.

Mena hasn’t made matters better for fans hounding her on social to see the baby. In fact, while sharing a throwback maternity moment and hinting that she may be ready for round three, things quickly derailed.

“Sis is it because you miss being pregnant or that D just too good 😭 😫😂”

“sis don’t let that baby fever get to you 😩”

“You Ain’t Even Show The Baby Yet, WTF😂” and “we wanna see the baby 😍😍,” wrote others.

But at least a few people are thrilled at the possibility of more children being in the future for the Samuels’.

“Yesss honey give safaree that boy!! 😍”

“You killed your whole pregnancy! I’m here for it!”

Mena would be in good company when it comes to slaying another pregnancy. Ciara, who announced her third pregnancy in January, has turned a few stunning looks with her growing belly.

Not long after that announcement, the singer revealed that she was having another son, the first for her with husband Russell Wilson.

Whether this period of sheltering in place will prove fruitful for the reality TV couple is something fans will just have to wait to find out.

“Y’all better get it!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾”

“Hey if it happens so be it. Gods plan”

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.
