A long-time member of The
Real Housewives of Atlanta now has some really great news to share:
She's a mother!
For the first time ever!
A rep for Porsha Williams
has confirmed to People Magazine that she and her fiancé, Dennis McKinley,
welcomed a baby girl on Friday, March 22.
The couple’s daughter
arrived at 1:36 p.m., weighing 6 lbs., 15 oz., and measuring 20 inches long. Not
too shabby all around!
“What a time to be alive!
Porsha and I are so happy and blessed to announce the arrival of our daughter,
Baby PJ,” McKinley told the aforementioned publication, clearly quite psyched
to be a dad.
He added:
"We couldn’t have imagined
a more magical moment! Can’t thank everyone enough for joining us on this
journey-it’s been a fantastic journey."
Porsha is yet to speak on
this blessed occurrence, but her sister just couldn't hold in her excitement on
Instagram.
“She’s here!!!!!!” Lauren
Williams wrote over a screenshot of a text message exchange with McKinley.
“Omggg,” she wrote to him. “Lemme see!”
The veteran reality star
confirmed her pregnancy in September, admitting at the time that she was
anxious and nervous due to a miscarriage six years ago.
Such a trauma really took a
toll on her psyche, as it would for anyone.
"I’ve had a
miscarriage before in my past, which I’ve also been open about because I suffer
with fibroids and had to have a myomectomy," said Williams this past fall,
adding:
“So just the fear of, ‘Is
the baby going to be okay? Will I make it full term?’ All those questions that
you ask if you’ve had a miscarriage before.”
Makes total sense, right?
Just like Williams, this is
McKinley’s first child.
“I believe he’s probably
shed more tears during the process than me,” Williams predicted of McKinley,
whom she has known for years, when speaking to People.
“It’s just the sweetest
moment of my life right now."
We are seriously so very
happy for Porsha.
As for the relationship
itself?
“Dennis brings out a
different side of me,” Williams gushed to Us Weekly in October. “I’m more
laid-back with him and we are just in love.”
Porsha was previously
married to former NFL star Kordell Stewart from 2011 to 2013.
The Real Housewives of
Atlanta airs on Bravo on Sundays at 8/7c.
Please join us in wishing
Porsha and Dennis the very best on their parental journey. CONGRATS!
