Ray J and Princess Love Seemingly Are Working Things Out Amid Divorce After Spending Time with Each Other and Their Kids for the Holidays

Ray J and Princess Love seem to be having a holly jolly Christmas together with their children amid their divorce process.

It’s been over two months since Ray J filed for divorce from Princess Love for a second time, and it looks like the “Love and Hip Hop” couple is deciding to work things out with each other again and just in time for the holidays.

On Dec. 24, Ray J uploaded two Instagram videos of him preparing for Christmas. In the first one, he shared a video of what appeared to be his living room with a blue-and-pink Christmas tree up and several gifts. In the second video, Ray J and Love took their children to go see and take pictures with Santa. However, it didn’t go so well, as both children ended up in tears on their parents’ laps and Santa seated in the middle.

But that’s not all. The “One Wish” singer shared a two-minute and 16-second video of him, his wife, his children, his sister Brandy Norwood, her daughter Syrai Smith and their parents, Sonja and Willie Norwood Sr., opening gifts together. Donny Hathaway’s version of the song “This Christmas” played in the background of the video that showed Ray J and his family enjoying their Christmas together.

He wrote, “Today was so special – I actually got real emotional today bc all the love we shared as a family was priceless. God I’m so thankful for my family! I put up this clip and fast forwarded some great moments for you all to see. Love you all so much!! Merry Christmas,” along with tagging the names of his family members in attendance.

Earlier this year, Ray J completely scrapped his Instagram. During the month of November, however, he was filling it up with videos and pictures of his family. Love, on the other hand, only has photos and videos of herself, her children and the shows she’s producing.

In October, Ray J was hospitalized after being sick with pneumonia, and, during that time, it was revealed that he filed for divorce. He also put on his profile that he was “separated and single.” Last year, Ray J filed for divorce for the first time and dismissed it, which was months after Love filed for divorce in May 2020 and dismissed hers.

Neither has stated whether they have decided to work things out again.

Still independent.

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.
