The price for a classic collection from the company can range from $44 to $1299. But the package that Rivera received was $399. The roses are so pricey because of the length of time they can survive. 

In Venus et Fleur’s site, it states the roses “can last a year if customers follow the care guidelines.” In addition to her social media upload, Rivera took to Instagram story and expressed how happy she was to get “these roses.”

She said while sharing a photo of herself in bed, “Woke up looking a damn mess.. But so happy for these roses always wanted them!”

The 35-year-old added, “I hate flowers only because they die but love their beauty. Love these cause they last a whole year! Think I want some in each room in my house.”

As fans viewed Rivera’s first post, many marveled over how “beautiful” the roses were.

“You deserve it mama, they are beautiful.”

“Beautiful and well deserved.”

“They are beautiful.”

“My favorite color!!!! Simply beautiful!!!”

Among the “beautiful” remarks, a social media user brought up Rivera’s husband, Juaquin “Waka Flocka” Malphurs. They stated in her comment section how they hoped the roses were from the rapper. “They better be from Waka.” 

Another person reiterated those sentiments by replying to that original statement, “I felt the same way. I love them together.”

Rivera and Mulphurs, who have been married since 2014, fueled separation rumors for months following the couple’s respective birthday posts to one another. In September, an unknown source who is allegedly close to the pair claimed to a blog site that the “Waka and Tammy” stars have quietly separated.

Despite the allegations, no explanation surrounding the alleged breakup was released to the public. Mulphurs later addressed the rumors while talking to Page Six during New York Fashion Week.

He told the publication on Sept. 9 while dodging their question regarding the separation rumors, “No habla Ingles. No comment. It’s beautiful, next question.”

Rivera and Mulphurs had split once before in 2016 after the rapper allegedly cheated.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
