Core Announcement
On August 18, the couple posted a joint Instagram video in which they walked hand-in-hand along a cliff, held their 19-month-old daughter Silva, and revealed a sonogram image. The following day, Vas shared additional photos from the same cliffside shoot and wrote that “the doctor called” confirming another baby is on the way. No gender has been disclosed.
Background & Context
Scarlet Vas first gained public attention as Mishti Sharma on the Australian soap opera Neighbours (2017-2018). She later transitioned to adult-content platform OnlyFans, where she has reported earnings of $200,000 per month and insists she is “not a porn star.” Tayo Ricci, a musician and content creator, met Vas when they were about 13 years old through mutual friends; their families later became connected through marriage, making the pair step-siblings. Despite the unconventional family structure, the duo began dating as adults, debuted their romance on social media in 2020, and married on the Greek island of Mykonos in 2023. Their first child, daughter Silva, was born in December 2024.

Official Statements & Responses

- Vas’s August 19 post confirmed the doctor’s call and shared the ultrasound, adding a heart-emoji caption.
- In a separate interview with *news.com.au* (November 2024), Vas emphasized that the couple are not biologically related, describing the situation as “fine” and noting that any perceived oddness is “weird.”
- Vas also addressed online criticism, stating she rarely reads comments but finds trolls “entertaining” and sometimes replies to diffuse negativity.
Conflicting Reports & Gaps
- Age discrepancy: Sources differ on Vas’s age (29 vs. 31) and Ricci’s age (27 vs. 29). No definitive source resolves the inconsistency.
- Exact birth date of first child: All sources agree the daughter arrived in December 2024, but the precise day is not specified.

Why It Matters
The pregnancy update has drawn renewed public attention to the couple’s step-sibling-spouse dynamic, a relationship they have highlighted in past TikTok content and podcasts. Their openness about the unconventional partnership has sparked both curiosity and criticism online, with some commentators labeling the arrangement “strange.” Vas’s remarks about trolling suggest the couple is aware of, and actively managing, the mixed reception. Their large combined follower base amplifies the visibility of such non-traditional family structures, contributing to broader conversations about relationship norms in the influencer era.
