The child, shown in what seems to be the wreckage of her family home, has not been identified beyond her first name. “Her family is having a terrible time and the last thing I want is to violate their privacy,” said Reyes, in response to fans’ requests.

Reyes and Gault, dating since the beginning of the month, have been making frequent appearances in each other’s social media.

When you share blood, a past, a home

A band, a life, a name

There’s some things solid in this world
