Posted byBy Diamond Jeune | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Tammy Rivera‘s recent birthday post for her mother Romona Smith left fans scratching their heads after the reality star revealed her mother’s age.

The reason behind the commotion stems from Smith’s youthful appearance. In the Instagram video shared on Sept. 2, Smith, who wore a form-fitting black and white ensemble with platform shoes, is seen dancing at what appears to be her birthday party.

Alongside the video, Rivera expressed in the caption how good Smith looked for 63. The “Waka & Tammy” star wrote, “Screaming HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my MAMA !! My Queen! 63 looks good on you baby!!”

Toward the end of the post, Rivera added her “love and hate” relationship with Virgos, which is her mother’s astrological sign. She said, “ONE THING THIS LADY GONE DO IS DANCE! Lol She’s the reason I LOVE and HATE Virgos at the same time @monabeyondblessed.”

As fans viewed Rivera’s upload, many were left in disbelief that Smith had turned 63.

“63 tf where?? I would have never guessed ! Happy birthday to you mommy.”

“Girl BYEEEEE 63?!!?! She look like she still in her early 40s ! Happy birthday beautiful.”

“63??? Hell yea she looks good asf Happy Birthday Mama!!!”

“Woooow she looks so good for 63, that’s wild! Happy Birthday!”

“Never would have thought that your mother was in her 60s. Omg she looks amazing and young ASF @charliesangelll HAPPY BIRTHDAY WOW.”

Among the previous responses, others raved over Smith’s dance moves. One wrote, “Mama getting it. More life to live ma.” Another said, “Your mother IS A VIBE! Heyyyy Maaaaa! Happy birthday.”

A third Instagram user even went as far as to state that Smith was “moving like she’s in her 20s.” “Ok mama moving like she’s in her 20s don’t play with her! Happy birthday.”

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.
