‘He’s About to Break Your Back’: Fans Crack Up As Princess Love Jokes About Carrying Seven-Month-Old Son

Princess Love and Ray J‘s infant son Epik Norwood may already have a favorite parent.

Love shared an adorable image of seven-month-old Epik sweetly snuggled up with her in a wrap and looking content enough to stay there forever. “How do I tell him he’s too big to be in here? 😩 #7months,” his mom joked about her growing boy in her caption.

Princess Love and Ray J have been spending time together after making it through a rocky patch in their marriage. After filing for divorce from the singer and entrepreneur in May, Love turned around and filed for a dismissal of that divorce request earlier this month.

“For us to all spend time together, talk and just be parents, I think a lot of things unfold from that,” he shared with People in May, shortly before Melody’s second birthday. “That’s a good start for us, just spending time with the kids and making sure that Melody has a great b-day. Through all of that, we can listen and understand each other. Right now we’re just locked in with the parenting. God is good.”

Fans were tickled to see the big boy hanging on to his mom and joked with Princess in the comments.

“You see that look… he ain’t goin nowhere 😂😂,” joked a follower.

“He’s so content right there though,” another stated.

“You don’t 😭,” answered a third. “I wish they could stay this little forever 😭😭”

“He is about to break your back😂,” a fourth laughed.

“He is such a cutie pie. Let him stay in there a lil bit longer 😍😘,” advised a fifth fan.

Princess Love and Ray J have been married since 2016 and are also parents to a two-year-old daughter, Melody Love Norwood.

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.
