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.”

After months of talk that Ray J and his wife Princess Love were doing all that they could to reconcile their relationship, it’s being reported that they’re headed to a permanent split. The pair first shared their troubles last year after Princess Love told the world on social media that her husband “abandoned” her while allegedly partying with escorts in Las Vegas. The couple’s disagreement was played out for the world to see, and recently, he says that they’ve been living apart.

Ray J and Princess Love even engaged in a face-to-face discussion on their Zeus Network special The Conversation, and things escalated from there. They didn’t seem to come to a resolution, and on Thursday (May 7), TMZ reported that Princess officially filed for divorce from her husband earlier this week.

Over the past few months, Ray has made it clear that he wanted to work things out for the sake of his family. “My kids mean everything to me. I got one on the way,” he told BET back in December. “My wife means everything to me, and my daughter. That’s what I’m working and living for, so the love of your family, black love, that’s really embracing the family and doing everything you can to make sure they safe.”

Ray J and Princess Love’s marital issues have been on full display for the world to see. Though both of them have since reconciled, Ray J is currently feeling the loneliness after Princess Love ordered him to self-isolate before seeing their kids. Speaking to Page Six, Ray J explained how Princess Love has him in a luxury hotel 10 minutes away from their home to quarantine in order to assure their kids are coronavirus-free.

He explained that he’s essentially being placed on lockdown for seven days before he’s able to see his two kids — 2-year-old Melody and 5-month-old Epik.

“I’m lonely right now. I don’t want to quarantine by myself. I keep telling Princess, but she says, ‘If I see one person over there with you, you got to start over,’ ” he said. “So I really have to lock myself in, because I really miss my kids.”

Princess Love is truly applying pressure on Ray J to make sure he’s in quarantine. He was previously spotted with director Antonio Ward. Love apparently made sure that he restarted the process of self-isolation until he completes the seven days in its entirety.

“She said I got to put in seven days alone, and I’m good with the seven, but she really want me to do 14, so it’s hard to look at the 13 days left,” he said. 

Infidelity is a touchy subject for Wendy Williams. The talk show host recently went through a bit of a scandal that led up to her divorce that allegedly involved her ex-husband, Kevin Hunter, having a child with another woman. So, it was unsurprising when Wendy decided to give Ray a polite piece of her mind when they were chatting with each other on a video call. The pair discussed Ray J and his wife Princess Love coming together for The Conversation, a reality experiment where they hashed out their marriage woes face-to-face sans a mediator or therapist.

“We did The Conversation on the Zeus network because we already are on TV and we felt like us being our own therapists could work,” Ray said. “We tried it. We just gave it a shot since we already on blast and everybody creating their own stories about what they see. Just tried to give it a shot. Did it help?” Wendy interjected and said “no” to which Ray J agreed. 

Wendy Williams added that it didn’t help because it just showed that Princess Love “is a good mom” who has “tried to be there” for Ray. “She’s put up with more than she needs to, and it shows that you’re the type of man who will never be faithful.” Ray replied, “When you’re working hard, sometimes you go through the ups and downs.” And while there have been accusations of infidelity, the reality television star insisted that he “never had a problem with that.” Watch the clip below.

To call their marriage “rocky” is an understatement, but Ray J continues to show support to his wife, Princess Love. The Love & Hip Hop Hollywood couple have recently shared that they’re separated and living apart, but it’s unclear if they’re headed toward divorce. The trouble began months ago when Princess Love accused Ray J of abandoning her at eight months pregnant while she was in Las Vegas with their daughter. Ray J vehemently denied the allegations, but a vicious exchange ensued on social media.

Ray did the press rounds and spoke openly about how much he loves his wife and their children, but Princess still opted to live separately. They put all of their personal business on display for the Zeus Network after they sat down for a face-to-face discussion about what has led up to the near-dissolution of their marriage. 

No matter how explosive their public arguments have been, Ray is determined to continue to respect his wife, even in the smallest of ways. He took to Instagram to share a dance video of Princess executing her best version of Megan Thee Stallion‘s “#SavageChallenge,” writing in the caption, “Getem prinky!!! @princesslove.” He later added, “I still wanna always see my wife winnin- no matter what.” Check out Princess Love’s dance moves below.

The unraveling relationship between Ray J and Princess Love is about to come to a head. The married couple has been traveling down a rocky road over the last few months, but it looks like they’re going to face off on the Zeus Network for their upcoming show, The Conversation: Ray J and Princess Love.

The Love & Hip Hop Hollywood couple have been reportedly living apart following their massive argument that unfolded on social media. If you remember, an eight-month-pregnant Princess accused Ray J of abandoning her and their daughter in Las Vegas. She said he left to go party with escorts while Ray J denied deserting his wife and daughter. 

A sneak peek at The Conversation: Ray J & Princess Love has been released and it looks intense. Unlike other shows, Ray and Princess will speak with each other without the help of producers, therapists, or hosts. In the clip, Princess called her husband “selfish” and told him, “I don’t respect you.” 

They recently welcomed their infant son Epik into the world, so these last few months have been bittersweet for the pair. Princess shared the preview of the Zeus Network feature on Instagram with a caption that reads, “A conversation that’s been long overdue.. It doesn’t get any realer than this.” A fan commented that they didn’t understand why famous couples air out their business for cameras, and Princess responded this was the only way she could get Ray to sit and talk with her. 

The Conversation: Ray J And Princess Love premieres on Zeus Network on March 15th. Check out the preview below.

The road to reconciliation appears to be a long journey for Ray J. Over the last few months, the singer has made it clear that he loves his family and wants to live a blissful life with his wife and children as a unit. However, Ray and Princess Love reportedly haven’t been on the same page since they publicly had a marriage meltdown on social media last Fall.

Princess appeared in the music video Ray’s December 2019 single “Partys Over” and judging by the visual, the Norwood home is thriving. Ray and Princess recently welcomed the arrival of their newborn son Epik, but while there’s much to celebrate, TMZ reports that the couple is living separately. Princess recently answered questions from fans on Instagram and revealed that she is, indeed, single.

The outlet states that the couple has been able to co-parent effectively but Ray and Princess aren’t sharing a home. “Our sources say the couple’s living situation — Princess stays at her luxury Beverly Hills condo while Ray J’s at a nearby bachelor pad — helps keep the peace,” TMZ reports. “We’re told she keeps the kids but Ray comes by to visit daily, and he has their dogs at his house.”

While Princess has previously threatened divorce, TMZ shares that the husband and wife haven’t formally discussed that as an option. Instead, they’re using this time away from one another as an opportunity to grow and focus on their children. Ray J is reportedly still making grand attempts at winning back his wife. He apparently purchased 2,000 roses for Princess on Valentine’s Day and had them set up in her condo.

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.”

It’s been a bit of a roller coaster this year for Ray J and Princess Love, after Princess proclaimed that Ray J had abandoned her and their daughter, Melody, leaving them stranded in Las Vegas while he partied with escorts. Princess was livid, and threatened to divorce Ray J, which, less than a month ago, she was still adamant about. However, the married couple has managed to put their issues aside for now and come together as a family to celebrate the birth of their son. It was revealed that Ray J and Princess, who announced in August that they were expecting a child and later revealed that it was a boy, had welcomed their baby when Ray J shared a video informing the world that Princess was preparing to go into labour. He also posted a video of Melody awaiting her brother’s arrival a few days earlier.

Now, the Love & Hip Hop stars have shared the name they’ve given their newborn bundle of joy: Epik Ray Norwood. The name was revealed on a post that Princess Love posted on New Year’s Day that shows little Epik’s tiny hand wrapped around his mommy’s manicured thumb. Welcome to the world, baby Epik.
