Teyana Taylor’s genes are undefeated. The actress recently shared a photo of the latest addition to the Shumpert household, baby Rue Rose, which had fans gushing in the comments section. 

On Tuesday, Dec. 1, the “Come Back to Me” songstress shared a sweet snap of the 12-week-old baby wearing a gray onesie and an adorable gray bear hat. “RueeeeeeeeeeeeeeBearrrrrrrrrrr 😩 😍,” Teyana captioned the photo. Proud dad and husband Iman Shumpert replied, “She’s soooo pretty.” The post garnered over 801,000 likes from fans.

While most folks flooded the comments section with heart-eyed emojis and spurts of “awwww,” others couldn’t help but notice how much baby Rue resembled Teyana’s first daughter, soon-to-be 5-year-old Junie. Coco from the iconic R&B girl group SWV commented, “She’s so pretty!! Looks just like Junie!!❤️❤️❤️.” Another user wrote, “ No wonder Junie saying you her baby mama 😂😂😂😂 Rue is her twin😍😍😍.” 

A third person commented, “Thought this was a baby pic of junie! How y’all have the same baby twice 4 yrs apart 😂😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍.”

“Omg looks just like Junieeeee!!! And a beautiful mixture of her mommy and daddy😍😍❤️❤️m” a fourth wrote. 

Teyana and Iman welcomed their baby girl on Sunday, Sept. 6, just hours after her baby shower. Iman shared the news on Instagram the following day with clips of their newborn sleeping peacefully — like Junie’s, Rue’s birth was was at home.

“At 3:28 am on Sept. 6 2020 Rue Rose 🌹 decided that the baby shower thrown for her and mommy was too lit. She didn’t make the party but she managed to make the next day her birthdate!!!” the free-agent NBA shooting guard captioned the lengthy post at the time. “Now…when we buy homes, we always find a bathroom with great energy… but not in a million years would you be able to tell me we’d deliver both of our daughters in a bathroom without the assistance of a hospital!”

He concluded, “Our newest edition entered the world in the water and came out looking around and ready to explore! A healthy child. A little sister. Another daughter. Black love wins….again. Welcome babygirl…we love you! 🌹 @babyruerose.”

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.
