Former actress who is having a baby with stepbrother responds to critics of their controversial relationship

Sharing your life online is an easy way to face some backlash, and Scarlet Vas is no stranger to critics due to her unconventional relationship.

Scarlet Vas used to be an actress on the popular Australian soap TV show Neighbors before she turned to OnlyFans to create content.

But that isn’t where the controversy surrounding her lies.

On social media, Vas has been pretty open about her relationship with her stepbrother, and the pair even got married in 2023.

More recently, she announced that she and her husband, Tayo Ricci, would be welcoming a new person to their family, a baby girl, as Vas is pregnant.

Her OnlyFans is in collaboration with Ricci, and the pair are very much aware of the controversy their relationship has caused.

In a now-viral clip, Vas said: “I fell in love with my bf’s best friend... who happens to be my step bro."

As you can imagine, this sentence alone is enough to raise some eyebrows and get some very critical comments.

And the pair have continued to address the controversial nature of their relationship - allegedly siblings by marriage versus blood - in posts to social media.

One wrote: "Ngl that’s kinda weird."

Another commented: “Step brother step sister and married 😂 wtf.”

Another questioned: “Bro who would marry their step brother.”

Vas has previously addressed her critics and indicated she isn’t too fussed about their comments.

In another video, the former actress also asks her step-brother what he would want to spend his last day on earth doing, to which he replied: "You, I would impregnate you."

Erm, I guess he has succeeded?

"Erm you're my step-brother, that's kinda f***ed up," Vas replied.

Ricci answered: "Why are you laughing? I know what I want and I get what I want.

"I think everyone grilling us online for being in love... it doesn't matter if we have the same mother."

Despite previous critical comments, after announcing on Instagram the pair are expecting a baby, they have been met by support.

Vas also uploaded a video compilation showing the pair walking down the aisle after getting married to posing in the sunset a year later. As the video goes on, we see Ricci kneeling down to Vas' stomach, alongside the moment the pregnancy test showed their results.

The post goes on to show the pair in an ultrasound room, the sound of the baby's heartbeat in the background, and another video of Ricci kissing Vas' bump.
