OnlyFans model Scarlet Vas and her stepbrother — and husband — Tayo Ricci have welcomed their first child together.
Vas, 29, and Ricci, 27, announced their baby’s arrival via Instagram in a series of photos posted on Thursday, December 26.
The first photo in the post showed the proud parents cradling their newborn daughter, who was born on Christmas Day. Another image featured a closeup of the baby’s hand being held by mom and dad.
The infant’s face was obscured by an emoji and Vas and Ricci did not reveal their daughter’s name.
OnlyFans Model Scarlet Vas Reveals She Is Pregnant With Stepbrother's Baby
“Our Christmas miracle has finally arrived,” they captioned the joint Instagram post. “Merry Christmas from our family to yours.”
Vas, who played Mishti Sharma on Australian soap Neighbours from 2017 to 2018, announced her pregnancy in September. She had been documenting her journey toward motherhood via social media in the months since.
The couple originally met through mutual friends as teenagers in Australia before tying the knot in Mykonos, Greece in September 2023. Two of their parents later married themselves, making Vas and Ricci stepsiblings. It is unclear which of the pair’s parents tied the knot but Vas has said in past TikTok videos that she and Ricci share a mother.
Despite facing some backlash for their relationship, Vas told news.com.au in a September interview that they were not taking the criticism to heart.
“Honestly, it doesn’t affect us because we have each other,” she told the outlet. “I don’t really read our comments section, but if I do, I actually laugh. We find trolls very entertaining.”
Vas added, “If something’s really negative, we might comment back, we find it is quite a good disarming tactic.”
The social media star emphasized that she and Ricci are not “blood related”.
“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,” she explained. “So we’ve known each other for a very long time.”
Celebrities Who Secretly Welcomed Children
Vas has also been outspoken about leaving behind her acting pursuits for a lucrative career on the adult subscription service OnlyFans.
She opened up to the “Uncensored Podcast” in May 2023 about how much money she’s making posting content by herself as well as alongside Ricci.
“I’m in the 0.01%, like the lowest you can go on OF. But every month’s been getting better. ‘Like last month was my best month. I hit almost $200k and then this month I’m going to do well over $200k,” she said. “I mean the fans love us as, like, a thing or not a thing. He’s my stepbrother and Australian and we’ve known each other for a very long time.”
The woman who has accused Jay-Z of rape can remain anonymous in court for now.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ on Thursday, December 26, judge Analisa Torres ruled the accuser, who has gone by the moniker Jane Doe in the lawsuit, can continue to be unnamed in the case. However, the judge noted the circumstances could change as the case moves forward. Torres stated she intends to revisit the issue if and when the case progresses.
Torres also accused Jay-Z’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, of being combative and trying to “fast-track” the case, per the outlet.
Attorney Tony Buzbee, who is representing Doe, said in a statement to Us Weekly saying, “I don’t typically comment on court rulings. I will say that the coordinated and desperate efforts to attack me as counsel for alleged victims are falling flat.”
Jay-Z's Lawyer Presents Slideshow Refuting Rape Allegation
Earlier this month, news broke that Jay-Z, 55, was named in a civil lawsuit alongside Sean “Diddy” Combs. In the paperwork, Doe accused the two rappers of raping her when she was 13 at an MTV Video Music Awards after party in 2000. The lawsuit was initially filed in October where Diddy, 55, was the only one named in the docs. However, Buzbee — who is also representing numerous people claiming to be victims of Diddy — refiled the paperwork on December 8 to include Jay-Z in the suit.
Both Jay-Z and Diddy have denied the allegations. In a statement to Us Weekly, Jay-Z referenced his wife, Beyoncé, whom he has been married to since 2008, and their three children: Blue Ivy, 12, and twins Rumi and Sir, both 8.
“My wife and I will have to sit our children down, one of whom is at the age where her friends will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims, and explain the cruelty and greed of people,” his message read. “I mourn yet another loss of innocence. Children should not have to endure such at their young age. It is unfair to have to try to understand inexplicable degrees of malice meant to destroy families and human spirit.”
Jay-Z Rape Accuser ‘Never Demanded a Penny’ From Rapper, Says Attorney
Jay-Z filed a motion to dismiss the civil lawsuit “for lack of subject matter jurisdiction due to the plaintiff’s lack of standing.”
“Plaintiff has provided no evidence — no affidavit, declaration, or specific factual support — to establish the kind of severe harm necessary to justify pseudonymity,” the document states.
In that same paperwork, the Roc Nation founder also requested the court for Doe’s identity to be “disclosed immediately” to the public.
After filing the motion, Spiro held a press roundtable on December 16, at Roc Nation’s New York City offices where Us and other reporters were present. Spiro began the meeting by stating that Jay-Z “did not rape a child” and gave a presentation that detailed alleged holes in the accuser’s story. Spiro also claimed that multiple people are willing to come forward to address the inconsistencies in the rape allegation made against Jay-Z.
Jay-Z's Lawyer Outlines Why Case Filed by Tony Buzbee Should Be Dismissed
The woman previously came forward to address the discrepancies in her account.
“You should always fight for what happened to you,” the unidentified woman, who has gone by Jane Doe in legal documents, said in a December 13 interview with NBC News. “You should always advocate for yourself and be a voice for yourself. You should never let what somebody else did ruin or run your life. I just hope I can give others the strength to come forward like I came forward.”

Khloé Kardashian extended her holiday celebrations for one more day after daughter True was sick on Christmas.
Kardashian, 40, revealed via her Instagram Stories on Thursday, December 26, that her holiday plans were “different” this year for a few reasons.
She explained she “didn’t get to make it to the Christmas Eve party, which was a bummer” after attending her family’s annual event for decades. While Kardashian said this year’s bash was just “hanging out” at sister Kendall Jenner’s house, she was still sad to miss it.
Christmas Eve, however, wasn’t the biggest hiccup for Kardashian and her two children, True, 6, and Tatum, 2.

“Tatum was super sick the weekend before. Now he’s perfect and great. He was great for Christmas Eve,” the Good American founder shared.
She noted that after Tatum was feeling better, his big sister came down with something. “True has had a 105 fever,” Kardashian revealed. “It was really scary. It was horrible.”
The reality star, who shares both children with ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson, said that luckily True is on the mend. (Kardashian gave birth to True in April 2018. She and Thompson welcomed Tatum in July 2022 via surrogate.)
“Now she’s just starting to feel better,” Kardashian said, noting that even with True under the weather they “hung out” at her mom Kris Jenner’s home on Christmas.
Kardashian recalled her daughter “sleeping in another room while I was cooking breakfast” so her little ones could still “be around the Christmas spirit.”
Now that True isn’t feeling as bad, Kardashian said they are “doing Santa toys today because she wasn’t in the mood” before.
“That’s when you know your kid is sick,” she continued. “I’m so happy she’s feeling better.”

Despite a few setbacks, Kardashian said she had a “great” Christmas. “I just love holidays,” she added.
While Khloé had a more laid-back few days, she didn’t miss a chance to give her older sister Kim Kardashian the ultimate Christmas gift.
“Merry Christmas Keeks! Love, Khloé, True and Tatum,” the tag read on Khloé’s present to Kim, 44, which was a bedazzled scooter.

Kim, who recently injured her foot, was over the moon about the gift. “I’ve literally never been more excited for something. This is so cute,” she gushed via her Instagram Story on Wednesday, December 25.
“It was a hit!!! She said she’s gonna keep it forever ,” Khloé captioned her own Instagram Story of her sister’s new ride.
The gift exchange didn’t stop there. Khloé revealed via social media on Thursday that Kylie Jenner gave their mom a custom travel bag with all her kids’ faces from when they were kids on it.
“OMG @kyliejenner this is incredible,” Khloé wrote alongside the photo. “Mom is lucky.”
Get ready to jump back in time when season 3 of The Way Home premieres on Hallmark Channel in the new year.
The network announced in March 2024 that the magical and mystical series would be returning for a third season — and this time around another decade will be explored. During season 1, fans met Kat (Chyler Leigh) and her daughter, Alice (Sadie Laflamme-Snow), when they moved in with Kat’s mom, Del Landry (Andie MacDowell), following Kat’s divorce.
Viewers quickly learned that the Landry women had a sorted history with the town after Kat’s little brother, Jacob, went missing when he was just a child. While diving deeper into their family past, Alice accidentally started time traveling — using a magical pond on their property — and found herself becoming friends with the younger version of Kat from 1999.
Season 2 added another time period when Kat traveled back to 1814. While there she discovered that her brother (adult version of Jacob portrayed by Spencer Macpherson) was alive and living in that era.
The Way Home's Chyler Leigh, Sadie Laflamme-Snow Talk Pond Frogs, Set Secrets
When it comes to season 3, Hallmark teased that the Landry women would be thrown into the world of 1974, which is when Del met her now-late husband, Colton (Jefferson Brown).
Scroll down for everything to know about The Way Home season 3:
MacDowell, Leigh and Laflamme-Snow are all returning as the Landry ladies. Macpherson will also be back as Kat’s long-lost brother, Jacob, and Brown will continue to make flashback cameos as the late Colton Landry. Evan Williams is reprising his role as Kat’s love interest, Elliot Augustine.
After a complicated relationship with the year 1814 in which Kat met her brother as an adult and helped save him from the Red Coats, she tried to convince him to jump into the pond and return to modern day. During the season 2 finale, which aired in March 2024, Kat cut ties with her revolutionary war love interest Thomas Coyle (Kris Holden-Reid) and gave her romance with childhood best friend Elliot a second chance.
If that wasn’t enough drama, Jacob did follow Kat back to present day, which came as a surprise to his sister. When the episode concluded, the siblings prepared to see their mother and explain that they had been time traveling with the help of their family pond.
Another cliffhanger revealed that Colton was watching the Landry house in present day. That means that he too has been time traveling since he is dead.
Hallmark announced in November that season 3 will pick up with Kat and Jacob “poised to walk into the Landry home to an unsuspecting Del.”
According to the press release, “Viewers will be introduced to a new era where Alice will visit. During her time there, she meets compelling characters whose stories add context to the history of the Landrys and provide answers to some questions … but open up new ones.”
Kat, meanwhile, “Attempts to close the door on the 1800s after making startling discoveries.” In the present day, she and Elliot “navigate a new chapter in their relationship, while he finds himself faced with his own complicated past,” per the synopsis.
“Season 3 shows that there’s some growing that needs to happen for both Kat and Elliot,” Williams told TVLine in December 2024. “And I’m glad that the writers are also not making it simple. Like, it’s not a binary thing, and because of that, if they can manage to find their way together, it will be that much more rewarding.”
Hallmark released its first trailer in November 2024, revealing that both Alice and Kat will travel back to 1974. According to the teaser, “the mystery deepens” as the women watch Del and Colton’s love story unfold the summer they met.
In the second trailer, released in December, Alice learns “someone other than us is time traveling,” but she doesn’t reveal their identity. At one point, Kat realizes that Alice “got sucked somewhere in time” before she pops up at a summer event where her grandmother and grandfather are hanging out.
While Alice learns more about her grandparents, Del asks in present day that Kat “please stop running off and choose us.”
Kat, meanwhile, appears to be fully dating Elliot, according to the second trailer. “Speaking of endings and new beginnings …” Elliot says while dancing with Kat.
Lastly, the video shows confirmation that Jacob returns home to the present day, but doesn’t show if he sees his mom or if he stays for long.
Season 3 of The Way Home premieres on Friday, January 3.
The new season was initially slated to air exclusively on Hallmark’s streaming service, Hallmark+, but has since changed.
In December, the network announced that “due to overwhelming demand,” The Way Home will air on Fridays at 9 p.m. ET on Hallmark Channel. New episodes will be available on Hallmark+ the next day.

While Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky’s whirlwind romance was always something special, their relationship continued to bloom after they welcomed their three children.
The Marvel star and the model tied the knot in 2010 after less than a year of dating. Two years later, they became a family of three with the birth of their daughter, India, in May 2012. Less than two years later, the family grew even more when they welcomed twin boys, Tristan and Sasha, in March 2014.
The following year, Hemsworth said that seeing the Spain native tackle motherhood made him fall even more in love with her.
“Once we had kids we were like, ‘We’re in it, this is it.’ All of a sudden I had a greater appreciation for my wife, she kind of came into her own when we had kids,” he told WHO magazine. “She certainly keeps me sane. I complain about things, she gets on with it.”

Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson spent their first holiday together amid their whirlwind romance.
Anderson, 37, joined Trump, 46, for his family’s Christmas dinner on Wednesday, December 25, at Mar-A-Lago in Florida, according to a social media photo. They sat at a table with his father, president-elect Donald Sr., stepmother Melania and brother Barron.
Anderson shared a close-up glimpse at her festive frock via Instagram Stories the next day. In a Thursday, December 26, mirror selfie, the influencer popped in a red midi-length Damaris Bailey dress with black heels and a coordinating clutch.
Anderson accessorized her look with a golden cross necklace, a watch and an armful of bangles. For glam, she wore her hair in loose waves that cascaded over one shoulder.
How Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle Have Both Moved On After Split
Anderson also added a red heart emoji to her upload, which she set to Vladimir Takinov’s “The Christmas Spirit.”
Us Weekly confirmed earlier this month that Trump started dating Anderson after calling off his engagement from ex-fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle.
“It’s a new relationship. He likes her a lot and has a lot of respect for her,” the source exclusively told Us, noting that Trump is “smitten.”
A second insider further told Us in December that their romance is “different” than Trump’s relationship with Guilfoyle, 55.
“When it comes to his relationship with Bettina it’s just about them,” the second source said. “He wants a partner. She doesn’t need anything from him and just wants to be with him.”
Trump was married to ex-wife Vanessa, with whom he shares five children, between 2008 and 2018. Later that year, Trump moved on with Guilfoyle. While Trump proposed to the TV broadcaster in 2020, they only publicized news of their engagement in 2022 during his sister Tiffany’s wedding to Michael Boulos.
Trump and Guilfoyle split ahead of the November presidential election, ultimately ending on amicable terms.

“Kimberly and I will never stop caring for each other and will always keep a special bond,” Trump said in a December 13 statement. “I could not be more proud of her and the important role she’ll continue to play [as U.S. ambassador to Greece].”
He added, “She’s been an undefeated prosecutor, national TV news star, a leader of the MAGA movement and close advisor to the president. The people of Greece are getting an absolute star and now the whole world will see it more than ever.”
Donald Sr., 78, recently named Guilfoyle as his pick for the Grecian ambassadorship when his second presidential term begins in January 2025.

Princess Kate Middleton shared a rare comment on her cancer journey while speaking to fans after the royal family’s Christmas Day service.
“The amount of people who have written this year is extraordinary and I think cancer just really does resonate with so many families,” Kate, 42, said on Wednesday, December 25, per footage obtained by the Daily Mail.
While addressing a fan who worked in a cancer unit, Kate continued, “People like you are doing all the hard work out there. I’m hugely grateful.”
After one woman told Kate, “We’re all behind you, never forget that,” the Princess of Wales replied with a smile, “Thank you very much, [that’s] so kind.”
Kate Middleton Reflects on ‘Difficult Times’ in Heartfelt Christmas Letter
Kate also spoke with Karen Maclean, a 73-year-old who said she had “20 years of cancer.” Maclean told the outlet, “We just had a little talk about cancer, really. I’ve met [King Charles III] before. He said to me, ‘I can remember you,’ I’m thinking, ‘What!’ like, many years ago?”
Maclean noted that Charles, 76, and Kate seemed “very well actually, considering what they’re going through.” (Charles announced his cancer diagnosis in February after undergoing a routine prostate procedure.)
In March, Kate revealed her diagnosis with an undisclosed form of cancer. “In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous,” she said at the time. “The surgery was successful, however, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, and I’m now in the early stages of that treatment.”
Kate completed her chemotherapy treatment in September and has since begun returning to work. Her husband, Prince William, confirmed in November that Kate would “be doing a bit more” in 2025.
King Charles References Health Struggles in Christmas Day Speech
William, 42, referred to 2024 as the most “dreadful” year of his life following two of his loved ones’ cancer diagnoses. “It’s probably been the hardest year in my life,” William said at an Earthshot Prize event. “So, trying to get through everything else and keep everything on track has been really difficult.”
The following month, Kate hosted her annual “Together at Christmas” carol concert and addressed her health battle. William as well as the couple’s kids Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6, attended the service.
“I didn’t know this year was going to be the year that I’ve just had,” she told singer Paloma Faith. “The unplanned. But, I think lots of people this year have had such challenging times.”
