‘Just Had a Baby … Where?’: Erica Mena Stuns Fans with Her Body

“Love & Hip Hop: New York” reality diva Erica Mena welcomed her daughter with fellow reality star and husband Safaree Samuels in February 2020, and Mena’s body is already back to being snatched.

The mother of two uploaded a photo of herself in a silver and neon yellow bodysuit, matching pants that flare at the side, and yellow strap heels to tie the look together. 

“Mood 🤑 I’m moody,” Mena, who just started an OnlyFans account, wrote.

Fans of the outspoken Puerto Rican and Dominican beauty fawned over her fashion ’fit and physique. 

“She is such a baddie laaaaawwwd love the outfit.”

“LOVVVEEEEEE THIS LOOK ON YOU‼️😍🔥🔥.”

“What baby sis?! Snatched❤️🔥🔥😍.” 

“Just Had A Babyyyyy 👀 … WHERE ??💁🏽‍♀️.”

“Ok, sis body!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.” 

Following the birth of the 32-year-old’s daughter, Mena uploaded a picture of herself working out in her home gym to shed some baby weight.

Mena’s consistency worked out, because she now uploads photos of herself rocking two-piece bathing suits. 

While some fans continue to gush over her toned figure, many wonder why Mena and her husband haven’t revealed their daughter’s name or shown her face to the public. 

On May 9, Mena shared an image of her spending quality time with her and Samuels’ first child. 

“Mama♥️,” she wrote.

The photo of Mena holding her daughter in a way that her face isn’t seen sparked a wave of commentary from her followers. 

“At least say her name. It’s not that serious, lol.”

“Exactly. Not that serious for you. Now enjoy the rest of your weekend,” Mena clapped back at the social media user, which garnered over 600 likes.  

Regardless of how her followers feel, Mena and Samuels are keeping their daughter’s name and looks private, at least for now. 

However, from Mena’s response to the social media user, it might be a while before fans get to see who baby Samuels favors most between her parents. 

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.
