Scarlet Vas and Tayo Ricci are about to become parents again. The OnlyFans star and her husband have announced they are expecting their second baby, sharing the happy news with their 19-month-old daughter and an ultrasound in a sweet social media reveal.
But while the couple are celebrating their growing family, the announcement has predictably sent social media into overdrive. The reason? Ricci is also described as Vas' stepbrother—a detail that has drawn attention to their family connection.
OF Star Pregnant With Stepbrother's Baby
Vas and Ricci announced the pregnancy on Instagram, posting a video of themselves enjoying a scenic day together with their daughter. Ricci can be seen pulling an ultrasound picture from Vas' jeans before the pair share a kiss and celebrate the news.
'We couldn't keep this a secret any longer,' the couple wrote alongside the announcement.
The new baby will join their first child, daughter Silva, who was born in December 2024. Vas and Ricci married in Mykonos, Greece, in September 2023, and welcomed Silva just over a year later.
Their relationship has attracted attention from the beginning because of their family connection.
Speaking to news.com.au in 2024, she explained: 'We were about 13 years old when we first met through mutual friends, our families knew each other and they introduced us I guess you could say. So we've known each other for a very long time.'
Vas has previously stressed that they are 'definitely not blood-related' and said they have been together for around 10 years.
Memes and Backlash Flood Social Media
The announcement soon drew plenty of attention online.
Some users reacted with disbelief, with one essentially saying they were perfectly happy to see an OnlyFans creator start a family—until they got to the 'stepbrother' part. Others questioned whether the couple had thought about how their children might react to the unusual story when they are older.
And then came the memes.
One of the jokes making the rounds read: 'At this point the family tree isn't a tree... it's a wreath.'
Others were far less amused, calling the relationship 'disgusting' and comparing it to incest. Some questioned whether the couple's children could experience confusion or emotional difficulties because of the circumstances surrounding their parents.
However, there were also plenty of people defending the couple. Some pointed out that Vas and Ricci do not share biological parents or DNA, arguing that their connection exists because their parents became a couple.
'Everyone is so judgemental,' one supportive reaction suggested, adding: 'They're family on paper, that's it. Who cares, if you don't like it. Don't do it.'
Vas has previously said she does not let the criticism get to her. She revealed that they sometimes find the online trolling entertaining.
the kids are gonna grow up and realize their family tree is a wreath
