In a surprising announcement, a popular actress reveals she is pregnant with her stepbrother, Tayo. The news has sparked mixed reactions across social media.
In a major announcement that has sparked widespread surprise, Australian actress Scarlet Vas, renowned for her role as Mishti Sharma on Neighbours, disclosed she is expecting her first child with her husband Tayo Ricci — who interestingly is also her stepbrother.
The couple, who got married last September on the Greek island of Mykonos, recently announced their pregnancy with a heartfelt video on Instagram.
The post featured footage of their positive pregnancy test along with ultrasound scans that captured the baby’s heartbeat.
The distinctive love story of Scarlet and Tayo started in Melbourne. They first crossed paths as teenagers, only to later become step-siblings due to their parents’ relationship.
In an interview with news.com.au, Scarlet discussed the public’s response to their relationship. She stated, “Even though there’s been some backlash, it doesn’t bother us. I usually don’t read our comment section; however, when I do take a look, it genuinely makes me laugh. We find trolls quite amusing.”
She mentioned, “If something is particularly negative, we might respond. We find it to be an effective way to disarm.”
In a resurfaced 2023 episode of the UNCENSORED with Mario Adrion podcast, the couple talked about their OnlyFans content. Tayo confessed that he had once imagined step-sibling scenarios, saying, “I won’t deny it—when I was younger, I fantasized about those dynamics. It seemed so wrong until it started to feel right.”
Scarlet clarified their relationship by saying, “We’re not related by blood, so it’s fine. Otherwise, that would be strange.”
When questioned about setting boundaries with family and whether their content becomes explicit, Tayo responded, “Not to the level people might expect. Honestly, not at all. People often think, ‘Oh, they must be doing porn to make so much money,’ but that’s not what we’re doing.”
With a playful tone, Scarlet remarked, “But you’ll have to subscribe to find out,” while Tayo chimed in teasingly, “Exactly. We’re just sparking some curiosity with a bit of cheekiness.”
The couple’s announcement has received mixed reactions, but Scarlet remains undisturbed. She stated, “It doesn’t bother us. We’re happy, and that’s all that matters.”
