‘Neighbours’ Star Scarlet Vas Roasted Online After Announcing She’s Pregnant With Former Step-Brother’s Baby – But She Doesn’t Care

A former Australian soap Neighbours star, Scarlet Vas, has announced that she is pregnant with her stepbrother’s baby and is not taking criticism from any haters.

Vas, 29, is married to Tayo Ricci, 27. Growing up in Melbourne, the two met as teenagers and grew closer when their parents started to see one another. Despite their familial complications, Vas and Ricci fell in love, and last year, they got married in Mykonos, Greece. 

Vas is due to give birth to the couple’s first child next month—and in the meantime, she is ignoring the barbs she has received for marrying and bearing a child with her former step-brother.

Scarlet told News.com that despite backlash over their relationship, it doesn’t affect them.

She said, “I don’t really read our comments section, but if I do, I actually laugh. We find trolls very entertaining…If something’s really negative, we might comment back; we find it is quite a good disarming tactic.”

The couple recently announced the upcoming arrival of their baby girl in an Instagram video that showed them checking a pregnancy test. They also shared ultrasound photos and captioned the video, “Baby Ricci. Our Christmas Miracle.”

The couple first made headlines in 2021 when a video by Vas, entitled, “I fell in love with my bf’s best friend…who happens to be my step bro” went viral.

In the video, Vas detailed, “We’ve been together for 10 years and have just moved back to Australia after living in the U.S. for the last five of those…We were about 13 years old when we first met through mutual friends, our families knew each other and they introduced us I guess you could say. So we’ve known each other for a very long time.”
