Former model Erica Mena, widely known for appearing in Love & Hip Hop: New York, has announced that she is pregnant! This new baby will be the model and her husband, rapper Safaree Samuels, second child together. Erica also has a son from a previous relationship.

Erica announced the news in a very unique fashion. In her images, she donned a stunning lacy black robe while Safaree wore only black jeans. The couple was standing in front of a vault surrounded by money with Safaree holding a large black bag. The images were meant to mimic a bank robbery.

The couple welcomed their first child together in February of 2020, a daughter named Safire Majesty Samuels. This means that the couple will be parents of two under two. They’re in for an exciting time!

Erica also has a son from a previous relationship. In March of 2007, Erica and video director and rapper Raul Conde welcomed a son named King.

Erica and Safaree became engaged on Christmas Eve 2018. They married on October 7, 2019, one week after announcing they were expecting their first child together at the Legacy Castle in New Jersey. The former model wore a gorgeous custom gown for the occasion.

Congratulations to Erica and Safaree on growing their family! We wish them all the best as they prepare to welcome another baby into the world.
