‘I Just Want to See Some Maternity Pictures’: Tammy Rivera’s Fans Insist on a Pregnancy Announcement After She Drops This Photo

“Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” reality star Tammy Rivera-Malphurs is looking regal in a new modeling pic that leaves room for her follower’s imaginations. Rivera, 34, posed in a brown robe leaving part of her chest visible and exposing her entire left thigh.

“Serenity,” Rivera captioned the photo that garnered over 150,000 likes. The mother of one appears to be on vacation, surrounded by nature.

Speaking of motherhood, fans speculated whether Rivera may be expecting a child with her husband, rapper Waka Flocka Flame.

“Girrrrlllll, I thought this was a pregnancy announcement 😩 I was all excited.”

“Amen to a bundle of joy.”

“That new baby glow! ❤️”

“I just wanna see some maternity pictures 😩.”

“You’re serving looks, and I’m waiting for your pregnancy announcement 🥴🥰💛.”

Sadly, fans weren’t given a pregnancy announcement because in another vacation photo Rivera showed off her midriff, proving that she isn’t expecting and never confirmed any speculation of a pregnancy.

Rivera is the mother of Charlie Rivera, her 15-year-old daughter from a previous relationship. The reality diva and her husband Waka Flocka Flame, 34, have been married since 2014, but it doesn’t seem like the pair is ready to have a child of their own.

In an early 2020 episode of the couple’s WE tv show, “Waka & Tammy,“ Waka’s mother, Deb Antney, wondered if the two would give her a grandchild.

Rivera told her mother-in-law she would have a child, but things didn’t pan out that way because the reality diva supposedly has a full load, which Antney wasn’t buying. “You can still do it,” she told Rivera.

She went on to say, “Last year me and Tam Tam came to an agreement. ‘Ma, right before the summer I’m going to drop these babies.’ ” Antney said in her confessional. “But we in what month? And guess what? Ain’t no d– baby there. So you done lied to me.”

Antney’s son said he and his wife aren’t ready for a child. “H– no. Ma, I’m telling you right now, it ain’t gon’ work,” Waka Flocka Flame told his mother. “All the stuff going on, and she pregnant? No, I’m not dealing with that.”

The “O Let’s Do It” rapper also told Rivera in an episode, “You know d– well I don’t want a baby.” The conversation led to Rivera crying, which could mean that she wants another child, but her husband doesn’t.

For now, it seems as though the MC is committed to being the father figure to Charlie. He gifted his stepdaughter a massive ring in January 2019 when the couple renewed their wedding vows in Mexico.

“Charlie cried her eyes out when Waka turned to her and said: ‘Not only am I vowing to love, honor and respect your mother, but I vow the same things to you.’ Then he gave her a smaller version of my ring with a pink diamond ❤️😩 the moment that took my breath away,” Rivera captioned the video of the massive diamond rings.

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.
