Ray J and Princess Love are back in the public eye, not for reuniting this time, but to clarify that their recent steamy encounter doesn’t affect what’s already in the works. The couple, whose rocky history and countless attempts to quit one another are well-documented, are still officially moving forward with their divorce despite a super public make-out session over the Millennium Tour this past weekend.
In a moment for fans, the kiss brought speculation around a potential reconciliation between the two reality stars to a boil once more. Ray J wasted no time shutting down the rumor when he addressed the episode on an emotional, candid Instagram Story. “I reminisced, man. I love her, but I don’t like her right now!” he admitted. “She’s my everything. But I’m her fucking nothing!” His unfiltered honesty was impossible to misread. While the kiss may have been dreamy and old-chemistry-filled, it was not an indicator of a romantic reunion, Ray J tells Page Six. “She was kissing me like when we first fucking met. Don’t ever do that to me again and play with my emotions!”
The relationship between the on-again, off-again couple has been a roller coaster from the start, and this most recent divorce attempt is the fourth time Princess Love has sought legal separation. Their romance has been a whirlwind of red carpets, reality shows, reconciliations, and recommitments. And yet, this time, both appear to be coming to the end of the book, even amid a few haze-filled lines crossed and tequila-soaked running shadows.

Ray J’s was heartfelt, while Princess Love kept it less than sweet and to the point. The day after the kiss, which went viral, she shared a black screen on her Instagram Story with the words “Never drinking ever again,” alongside vomiting emojis. On another, she wrote, “Never mix tequila and Titos.” The make-out moment was more of a drunken mishap than a romantic spark. Despite their differences, Ray J had nothing but good things to say about Princess Love as the mother of his kids. ” I love Princess–she’s the best mom in the world, so that’s it. What else is there to do? She won because she’s got the best kids in the world. She won–not because of me, because of her.”
The singer also seems to be taking a stand, realizing that while there may still be love, it’s time to let go, as they are both better off separately. His words resonated with great sorrow but also finality. No matter the taste of the kiss, it could not reverse years of would-be romance, miscommunications, and public theater. The two share two children and have spent years attempting to salvage their relationship. Long before social media showdowns and VH1 appearances, their love life unfolded in the public eye. But just when they seemed to be moving on, something sucked them back into each other’s orbit until now.
But while the viral kiss might have given some viewers false hope, it will forever remain a last ember in a love story that’s burning up for good. Driven by passion, habit, or alcohol, their moment of intimacy was only that moment. Now, as the fourth divorce continues, it appears as if Ray J and Princess Love are finally moving elsewhere regarding their romance. And while fans might miss the end of one of reality TV’s most high-profile couples, both of its stars seem ready to find peace just apart.
