While there are some fans who are still hoping that Ray J and his estranged wife Princess Love will somehow remedy their broken marriage, it looks as if divorce proceedings are moving forward. The dissolution of the reality stars’ marriage began last year after Princess Love made claims that Ray J abandoned her and their children in Las Vegas. She also accused him of running around town with escorts—all allegations that Ray J denied. Princess Love recently filed for divorce, and according to Page Six, she’s made a few requests.

Princess Love reportedly filed divorce paperwork on May 7 and has asked for full custody of their two children, two-year-old Melody and four-month-old Epik. She’d like for them to work out a visitation schedule for Ray to spend time with the kids and also would like the 39-year-old singer to pay child support. Princess has also asked that she not be required to pay him any support of any fashion.

Meanwhile, in a virtual press conference yesterday (May 21), Ray J shared an update on how things are going during the quarantine for him and his little ones. “I’m back with the kids right now so I’m just really excited about my daughter’s birthday coming up this weekend,” Ray J said. “Over these past few months, though, I’ve been at the studio locked in. I was at the studio right around when everything got locked down. Before I came home, I had to quarantine for 14 days. My wife has been supermom, and she wasn’t having that so she just wanted to make sure that I was good. We’re taking it one day at a time.”

They recently welcomed their newborn baby boy Epik into the world, and by the looks of Ray J‘s recent social media posts, the Norwoods are doing pretty well, all things considered. Ray and wife Princess Love put their marriage troubles on display during a devastating meltdown on social media last year. Princess took to her Instagram Live to share that her husband allegedly abandoned her while she was eight-months pregnant alone with their daughter to party with strippers and escorts.

In mid-December, Ray dropped the music video for his K. Michelle-assisted single “Party’s Over.” He used the opportunity to share home video footage of his family as they happily frolicked around their mansion without a care in the world during the holiday season. Ray has spoken about the status of his relationship with Princess, sharing that they’re still working on things, but Princess let it be known on Friday (January 31) that for the time being, she’s a single woman.

Over on her Instagram Story, Princess allowed the public to ask her questions. One person wanted to know if she and Ray J were still together. “Not right now…” she replied. “Right now we’re just focused on the kids.” Someone else wanted to know how they came up with the name “Epik” for their baby boy, but Princess simply stated it was Ray’s idea. These two have had a tumultuous relationship ever since their early drama-filled Love & Hip Hop Hollywood days years ago, but they always seem to find their way back to one another.

It’s been a rough time for Ray J and Princess Love as they repair the damage done to their marriage in recent months, but the arrival of their first-born son has shattered all contention. The reality star parents recently announced the birth of Epik Ray Norwood with a touching holiday video that ended with Princess being wheeled into the operating room for the C-section. Later, the couple gave fans a sneak peek at their newborn baby boy. 

Us Weekly recently featured the growing family in their latest issue with even more photos of Baby Epik, and it’s obvious that his mama’s genes are strong. “Becoming a father to Melody was the greatest day of my life, to now relive this feeling of being a father to Epik is the ultimate feeling in the world,” Ray told Us Weekly on Tuesday. “I am so blessed to have a son and a daughter. My life is complete. Thank you to Princess for everything. I love my family so much.”

Princess added, “I can’t believe he is finally here. Being a mother is my greatest accomplishment and I am overjoyed with life at the moment. To see Melody and Epik together is a dream.” Back in the Spring of 2019, Ray told Us Weekly that he would be just fine with two children, but Princess may want one or two more.

Ray J shared pictures of Baby Epik on Instagram with the caption, “God is truly amazing! @Princesslove you are really a blessing! To watch what you went thru to have our children is something words can’t express. I’m so proud of you. Thank you for everything! 2020 is already the best year of my life! – Here he is EPIK RAY NORWOOD.”
