‘Younger You For Real’: Tammy Rivera’s Daughter has Fans Doing A Double Take in This Picture

Tammy Rivera’s daughter is growing up before the eyes of fans that can’t seem to figure out where the time has gone.

It’s been more than six years since Rivera and Waka Flocka Flame joined the cast of “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta.” Since then a lot has changed, including Rivera officially becoming Mrs. Malphurs, the launch of her singing career, and her daughter Charlie blossoming into a teen.

These days fans think Rivera looks a lot more like a big sister than a mother to her 14-year-old. But it is Charlie’s overall appearance that has her mother’s followers doing a double take.

“She taller than you 😂❤️,” commented one person on a photo of the duo shared to social.

“Younger you fr [for real] , love to see it ✊🏾”

“She is getting so big! She’s beautiful 🌹🌹🌹”

“She’s so pretty 😍” and “She grew up 😭,” wrote others.

“@charliesangelll aww she’s getting so big 😩😍😍😍she’s beautiful. Looking just like you”

Often seen rocking her signature multicolored braids or long tresses, the teen also has people on social fawning over her new ’do.

“The finger waves 😩😍” and “It’s Charlie’s hair for me. 😍😍😍😍,” read some comments.

“I love Charlie finger waves😩😍😍😍”

As an only child from a relationship Rivera had prior to Flocka, she is often doted on by her mother.

In honor of Mother’s Day, Rivera even released a song named after her daughter.

The song lyrics go: “The day that god gave me an angel, just know that he gave you the same. Watching you grow makes me so thankful. I light up when I hear your name. There will come a time i won’t always be around, but everything, I taught you will be holding you down. I want you to never ever doubt in your mind, hope you now you´ll always be the apple of my eye.”

Fans got yet another reason to swoon over the duo.

“Your song dedicated to her is beautiful”

“I love y’alls relationship💕💓”

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.
