‘RJ Junior!’: Princess Love’s Darling Photo of Her 5-Month-Old Son Has Fans Calling Him Ray J’s Twin

Princess Love and Ray J Norwood‘s son Epik could almost pass as his father’s twin.

The mother of two took to Instagram on Tuesday, June 23, to share a sweet picture of her 5-month-old son.

“My little honey butter chicken biscuit 😩💙 #MyBoy,” Love captioned the photo.

The adorable picture showed baby Epik dressed in a Sesame Street T-shirt and a diaper. He smiled at the camera while playing with his tiny feet, giving fans total baby fever!

Norwood reshared the photo of baby Epik and wrote, “My baby boy!! 💙💙💙💙💙
E’P.”

Instagram users commented on both of the parents’ pictures, pointing out how similar Norwood and Epik look to each other.

“That’s yo twin cuh 😀👑✊🏾,” one fan wrote on the “One Wish” artist’s pic. “He look a little like his momma but you got you one champ 👑.”

“Omg he stole Rays whole face 😩❤️,” joked another.

Another person said, “♥️ wow 🤩 beautiful baby so cute! RJ junior! Look 👀 like his dad! Too darn handsome!😍😍.” Someone else pointed out how baby Epik had Norwood’s “nose and eyes” with his mother’s lips.

Epik is Love and her estranged husband’s second child together.

The former couple also share 2-year-old daughter Melody Love. They welcomed their infant son on Dec. 30.

Love and Norwood married in 2016 and called it quits in May. The 35-year-old mother filed for divorce from Norwood, 39, in L.A. County Superior Court. The pair reportedly were living in separate homes after their epic Las Vegas drama last year in which Love accused Norwood of leaving her and their daughter Melody stranded in Sin City following the BET’s Soul Train Awards.

Despite the divorce filing, Norwood told US Weekly on May 29 he and Love are still co-parenting their kids.

“While we’re figuring everything out we’ve just got to be the best parents in the world and just make sure we’re there for the kids,” he said. “She’s been a great mom, and I can’t even match that because of the hard work she puts in every day, but I’m definitely there a whole lot more now and taking it one day at a time.”

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.
