“Love & Hip Hop New York” reality star Yandy Smith-Harris is receiving a lot of side-eyes and questions from fans who are wondering whether she’s pregnant with her third child by husband and fellow co-star Mendeecees Harris following her recent Instagram post. 

On June 26, Smith-Harris posted a dramatic shot of herself posed on a rooftop in front of a New York skyline backdrop while rocking a ruffled-sleeve red minidress and black open-toed heels as she held a hand on her stomach. 

“Sky’s (not) the limit. Limits don’t exist when Gods involved. You got this sis Keep killing it and shocking the world. Bro, they might not believe you now, but trust YOU GONNA MAKE them believe. Stay 10 toes down and keep pushing. You’re stronger than they think. 💕,” she captioned the photo. 

Smith-Harris’ fans decided that her midsection was looking fuller than usual. They are beginning to speculate that she and Harris are expecting a new addition to their already extended/blended family. 

“Are u trying to say your prego sky, not the limit?”

“Early pregnancy announcement ??” 

“I thought this was a pregnancy announcement 😅.”

“U Slaying in This🤰🏾🤰🏾Photo 👑😎.”

“Another prince 🤴🏾is princess 👸🏽 arrival coming 😍.” 

“Congrats on🤰🏾. I know a prego belly when I see👀 one!! Happy for you💕.”

The 38-year-old hasn’t dropped any more hints or otherwise addressed whether she is pregnant. She and Harris share two biological children, daughter Skylar, 5, and a 7-year-old son named Omare. 

Smith-Harris is also the foster mother to 18-year-old Infinity Gilyard. Gilyard and Yandy met years ago through the nonprofit organization EGL Partners Uplifting our Daughters, through which she began mentoring the teen.

In August 2018, Smith-Harris revealed that a judge in New York granted her approval to start adopting Gilyard, and she’s been a part of the family ever since. 

There was speculation that Gilyard was no longer living with Smith-Harris after Harris returned home on Jan. 29 from serving four years behind bars for drug trafficking. 

In New York, a convicted felon can’t live in the same household as a foster child.

Reportedly, Harris actually is living in a halfway house, and, according to an Instagram Story Smith-Harris posted earlier this year, Gilyard is still living at home. 

Harris is also the father to two more sons from previous relationships, Aasim Harris and Mendeecees Harris Jr.

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.
