It looks like “Love and Hip Hop” couple Erica Mena and Safaree Samuels are expecting a baby girl.
It was reported earlier this month that fans speculated that the sex of the newlywed’s baby would be female, and it looks like they were right after all. Mena, 31, and Samuels, 38, held a lavish gender reveal this past weekend in New York, surrounded by their loved ones to help them celebrate the special moment.
In a gender revelation video posted by both Samuels and his wife on Sunday afternoon, it shows a slew of pink fireworks going off to reveal the gender of their unborn daughter. Both the “Hunnid” rapper and the model fought back tears of joys and basked in the emotional moment together at the Suede Caribbean restaurant in New York.
“Iβve been surrounded by women my whole life…. 1 more wont hurt πππππ My daughter is on the way ππΎ,” Samuels wrote via Instagram. “Thank you @suedenyc and my wife for enduring all this pain for our unborn child. Itβs a GIRL ππππ straitttt start sending free stuff for girls now π.”
Itβs not clear what Samuels was referring to in mentioning his wifeβs pain.
Mena added in her post, “God I canβt thank you enough ππ½β₯οΈ My husband and I are living a dream. Everything weβve ever wanted has officially come true. π”
Fans instantly flooded the couple with congratulatory messages.
“I knew it! Congratulations to the both of you on your blessings from God β₯οΈππ”
“They are going to have a BEAUTIFUL HEALTHY BABY GIRL!! Congrats she will be beautifulπ u two deserve happiness”
“Soooo happy for you guys, congratulations β€οΈ @iamerica_mena best of both worlds babyπ―π₯ πβ€ congratulations Mr & Mrs Straittt”
“Tears of Joy π congrats! If that wasn’t the most realest sincere reaction I’ve ever seen!! I’m rooting for y’all”
Just last week, the pair shared their first sonogram of their unborn baby. Samuels claimed their daughter took after his gene pool and had the same head shape as his.
“Can you believe it???” the rapper wrote October 4. βPraise Godβ¦ #Myhead”
The father-to-be and Mena reportedly tied the knot on Monday, Oct. 7, and exchanged their “I dos” during a lavish ceremony. Their wedding will be shown on the upcoming season of “Love and Hip Hop: New York” for viewers to witness.
Samuels is ecstatic about becoming a first-time father. He added in their pregnancy announcement video on October 1, “Wow, wow, itβs a big deal! Very big deal. I didnβt know I was capable of doing this. β¦ Iβm excited!”
Mena will be a second-time mother. She also has 12-year-old son King Conde.
