Interestingly, Ricci is not just her partner; he also holds the title of her stepbrother, which adds a layer of complexity to their relationship. This unique dynamic has certainly attracted attention, prompting discussions about family bonds and societal norms.

Despite facing skepticism and criticism over their non-traditional relationship, Vas’ pregnancy news has gone viral across various social media platforms this week, creating a buzz and making headlines everywhere. Their story resonates with many who appreciate love that defies conventional boundaries.

Scarlet Vas, known for her role in the Australian soap opera Neighbours, and Tayo Ricci, a talented singer, first broke the news about their pregnancy in September through a heartfelt joint Instagram post that showcased their excitement and anticipation.

“Baby Ricci: Our Christmas Miracle,” Ricci affectionately captioned a touching compilation video that captured the couple’s reactions upon learning the news and their visits to medical appointments, sharing their journey with their followers.

A few days later, the couple shared another joint post filled with a series of delightful images depicting Ricci kissing and embracing Vas’ growing baby bump, showcasing their love and excitement for the new addition to their family.

“And then there were three! We can’t wait to meet you,” Ricci joyfully captioned the post, expressing their eagerness to welcome their little one into the world.

With an impressive following of 2.4 million on Instagram, Vas has consistently updated her fans about her pregnancy journey, recently revealing that they are expecting a baby girl, much to the delight of her followers.

The couple’s unique relationship began in their childhood in Melbourne, and after their parents married, they became step-siblings, creating a fascinating family dynamic that has intrigued many.

In a recent interview with News.com.au, Vas clarified that she and Ricci are “definitely not blood-related,” emphasizing that their connection is rooted in love and understanding rather than traditional family ties.

“We’ve been together for a decade and have just moved back to Australia after living in the US for the past five years,” she shared, reflecting on their journey as a couple.

“We were about 13 years old when we first met through mutual friends, and our families knew each other, which made the introduction feel natural and effortless,” she added, highlighting the depth of their long-standing connection.

The couple first disclosed their romantic relationship in 2021 through a video titled: “I fell in love with my bf’s best friend… who happens to be my stepbro,” which sparked significant online discussion and scrutiny regarding their unorthodox relationship.

Regarding the criticism they have received about their marriage, Vas told News.com.au, “Honestly, it doesn’t affect us because we have each other.” Their strength as a couple is evident in their supportive words for one another.

“I don’t really read our comment section, but when I do, I often find it amusing. We find trolls to be quite entertaining,” she continued, indicating their ability to handle negativity with humor and resilience, which is commendable in the face of public scrutiny.

While the couple shares a diverse range of content on social media, Vas revealed that they realized their “stepsibling” themed content tends to go “viral,” which has played a significant role in their online presence.

“Initially, we were unsure of what we were doing, but people became drawn to us, and anything we did together would often go very viral,” she stated, reflecting on the surprising popularity of their content.

“We didn’t realize that ‘step-sibling’ content was so popular, perhaps because it’s unique? Through sharing our story, I’ve learned that people are quite fascinated by it,” she continued, underscoring the allure of their unconventional narrative.

“We do spark controversy, and I am aware of that,” Vas concluded, acknowledging the mixed reactions their relationship has garnered.

Vas is due this month, and their journey into parenthood is eagerly anticipated by their followers.
