Mena's fans took turns to wish her and Samuels a happy anniversary in the comments section of the post, with some of them surprised that a year had already passed since the couple said "I do."

Samuels and Mena's wedding was held at New Jersey's Legacy Castle. It turned out to be a lavish wedding, with the couple ensuring they had a remarkable celebration.

Since her birth, the couple has chosen to keep their daughter out of the public eye, only sharing glimpses of her face in pictures.

Mena's flowing white wedding dress matched her husband's tuxedo. She walked the aisle with her son, King Conde, who she had from a previous relationship with Raul Conde, a member of Fat Joe's Terror Squad.

Sources revealed that as Mena walked the aisle in front of family and close friends, Samuels started crying. Some of the guests at the wedding included VH1 stars, Karlie Redd, Sierra Gates, Jonathan Fernandez, and Yandy Smith.

They exchanged vows with gorgeous wedding bands which were custom-designed by New York Jeweller Eden Diamonds. The rings cost a whopping six figures.

After the wedding ceremony, a reception followed inside the castle. The couple changed into different outfits for a party that lasted until after midnight. Few months after their wedding, the couple had another reason to celebrate when they welcomed their daughter and first child together.

Since her birth, the couple has chosen to keep their daughter out of the public eye, only sharing glimpses of her face in pictures. They are yet to release her name.

In May, Samuels, who has so far proved to be a doting father, shared a rare picture of his daughter chilling with him while nestled in his arms, leaving fans impressed with his fathering skills.
