SCARLET VAS IS PREGNANT AGAIN WITH HER STEPBROTHER HUSBAND
Australian OnlyFans model and actress Scarlet Vas is pregnant again, expecting her second child with her husband, Tayo Ricci, who also happens to be her stepbrother. The couple announced it on Instagram on August 18, 2026, in a cliffside video that showed her baby bump and a sonogram.
Vas, 31, is known for her role on the Australian soap Neighbours. Ricci, 29, is a musician and social media personality.
In the clip, the pair stood on a cliff overlooking the water, both in jeans and white T-shirts. Ricci held their 19-month-old daughter, Silva, while Vas turned around to show off her bump. Then they held up the sonogram images for the camera.
Ricci wrote in the caption, as Us Weekly reported, “We couldn’t keep this a secret any longer.”
The next day, August 19, 2026, Vas posted several photos from the same cliffside maternity shoot, Infobae reported. Her caption read, “The doctor called. Apparently we’re having another baby 🤍👼”
TMZ said the news “turned some heads,” given the stepsibling-and-spouse situation.
From teenage friends to stepsiblings to spouses
Vas and Ricci are both from Australia and met around age 13 through mutual friends. “Our families knew each other and they introduced us, I guess you could say,” Vas told news.com.au in November 2024, as quoted by Us Weekly. They started dating shortly after their parents married each other, which made them stepsiblings.
They debuted the romance on social media in 2020 and married in September 2023 in Greece, Nine.com.au reported. PerthNow placed the wedding on the island of Mykonos.
The first pregnancy announcement came in September 2024. Silva arrived that December, and Nine.com.au reported she was born on Christmas morning.
The couple have turned the dynamic into a brand. Vas has 2.3 million Instagram followers and 7.2 million on TikTok, while Ricci has 6.2 million on Instagram, where he shares his music. Fashion Times reported that Ricci appears often in Vas’s online content, so the pregnancy news landed squarely in both of their feeds.
“We didn’t know what we were doing, but people were drawn to us, and whenever we did anything together it would always go very viral,” Vas told news.com.au. “We didn’t realize ‘step sibling’ content was so popular, maybe because it’s rare? But I’ve realised through sharing our story that everyone loves it. We do spark controversy. I know that.”
She has also said the criticism does not bother them. “Honestly, it doesn’t affect us because we have each other,” she told the outlet. She said she laughs at negative comments and the couple find trolls entertaining.
Followers got to guess
According to People, Vas used an Instagram Story poll to ask followers how far along she looked. The options were three, five or eight months, and most people picked three.
Commenters also had thoughts on the family situation. Fashion Times reported that one joked, “Their family tree is a wreath.”
