Empire's Serayah Calls Off Engagement With Joey Bada$$ Over 'Infidelity'
Empire star Serayah has ended her engagement to rapper Joey Bada$$, citing “repeated infidelity” as the reason for their split. The 31-year-old actress, whose full name is Serayah Ranee McNeill, shared a statement on Monday, August 24, explaining her decision. “There comes a point in a woman’s life when choosing herself is no longer an option, it becomes necessary,” she wrote. “After much thought, I have made the difficult decision to end my engagement and relationship with the father of my child, Joey.”
Serayah and Joey Bada$$ (real name Jo-Vaughn Virginie Scott) are parents to a son, who was born last year. Serayah continued, “I loved deeply, believed wholeheartedly in the life we were building, and wanted nothing more than to protect our family. Unfortunately, I also had to face a painful truth: there had been repeated infidelity throughout our relationship, including during some of the most vulnerable and meaningful moments of my life.”
