Essence Communications Inc.’s Post

Welcome to The Family Business Joey Bada$$ and Serayah have turned chemistry into commitment—and now, they're building an empire of love, legacy, and little feet. After meeting on a boat in 2021, the timing wasn't right, but when they reconnected, it was magnetic. "Her aura was radiating," Joey says. Now, they're building a home and a future together in NYC, and as they prepare to welcome, they're expecting their first baby together (spoiler alert: it's a boy!). For Serayah, it's her first; for Joey, it's his second. They've gone from sushi dates and workout sessions to nursery prep and college savings. Together, they're redefining what a modern Black family looks like: intentional, healed, and rooted in joy. In the latest Of The ESSENCE they open up about falling in love, choosing monogamy after his polyamorous past, and the ways parenthood has already transformed them.
