The couple, who set out for the trip earlier this week in honor of Smith-Harris’ 40th birthday, took photos in front of Villa La Valencia Beach Resort & Spa Los Cabos. Alongside the images — which included two snapshots of Smith-Harris and Harris and a group photo with other couples — Harris shared one of his wife’s past dreams while he was incarcerated. 

In 2015, the “Love & Hip Hop” star was charged with drug trafficking and given an eight-to-ten year prison sentence. After taking a plea deal, Harris began serving his sentence the following year. He was ultimately released in January 2020. 

While mentioning how he is “loving every moment” of making Smith-Harris’ dreams a reality, Harris wrote, “She used to tell me when I was away her dream was to travel with me. So I’m making her dreams come true and loving every moment.”

Following his post, Smith-Harris, who appeared touched by her husband’s caption, responded “Come on caption,” alongside a red heart emoji. As fans viewed Harris’ upload, many expressed similar sentiments as Smith-Harris in the comment section by writing how much they loved the caption and the couple.

“It’s the caption and love for me.”

“Love this,both of you meant to be together,enjoy every moment of your lives together.”

“Very sweet! Enjoy and be safe! You both deserve it!”

“This is the talk of a real gentleman love you both.”

“I know her heart is fill now! The best feeling in the world! Yes travel with your Queen! See the world!”

Among the previous remarks, others pointed out the Harris and Smith-Harris’ youthful appearance. One wrote, “These two are aging backwards.” Another said, “You guys are aging backwards.”

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.
