Joey Bada$$ Gets Engaged to Serayah — and Their Love Story Just Levelled Up 💍
Brooklyn-bred rapper and actor Jo-Vaughn Virginie Scott—known to fans as Joey Bada$$—is taking a major personal milestone: he’s engaged to actress, singer, and new mom Serayah McNeil. Here’s a look at their journey together—and what makes this moment so meaningful.
🍼 From Real Talk to Real Love
The relationship quietly blossomed into public knowledge in 2023, though Joey and Serayah met back in 2021 during a boat party hosted by mutual friends. Joey later recalled that seeing Serayah for the first time felt like a spotlight moment:
“I saw her and I remember thinking … ‘Wow, I’ve never seen a woman so beautiful… her aura was just kind of radiating.’”
She described Joey as “the most mysterious person I’ve ever met”—but also one whose magnetism spoke volumes without a word.
🎉 Big Moments — Baby + Bling
February 2025: Serayah revealed they were expecting a son—an announcement that softened even Joey’s public persona.
July 21, 2025: She posted a “Life Lately” Instagram dump—two months postpartum—with her fiancé’s hand adorned by a new diamond ring.
Her gratitude was glowing:
“My fiancé has held it DOWN… through and through that’s a good man… I’m so grateful.”
💡 What This Means
Depth over drama – Far from flash, their engagement signals devotion and strong family values—especially after becoming parents.
- Personal growth – Joey’s about-face from a polyamorous stance in 2022 to monogamy with Serayah and co-parenting two children reflects emotional maturity.
- Black love spotlight – The couple’s low-key celebration intertwines intimacy with legacy-building at a moment when their voices matter.
🤍 What’s Next
Details on the wedding are still under wraps; this engagement moment feels deeply private—shared in a way that fits their vibe: authentic, heartfelt, and decidedly theirs.
With parenthood under their belts and a diamond ring in the story, one thing’s for certain: Joey Bada$$ and Serayah are crafting a life rooted in partnership—and we’re here for every chapter.
