Kenya Moore is feeling thankful these days. While giving her husband Marc Daly a shout out on his birthday Saturday, “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star also thanked her spouse for giving her the gift of becoming a mother.

“Happy Birthday my love! I prayed to God so many nights for you and at 46 you appeared,” she wrote in the sweet ode to Daly Aug. 11. “Thank you for loving me and being you. We are friends, partners and most importantly… we are family. And thank you for giving me the best gift of my life… #babydaly. I love you❤️ #HBD @socobk #love #life #family #leo #leoseason #blessed #thatsmrsdalytoyou.”

Users who swipe right on the series of 10 photos Moore shared will be delighted to discover some new shots from the couple’s wedding day last June. One of the photos shows the newlyweds cutting the cake at the beach in St. Lucia while they share a smooch in another.

Fans adored the shoutout and gave Daly their own happy birthday messages while offering Moore well wishes.

“Happy birthday to your hubby you’re blessed and can never be changed.”

“Beautiful couple. HBD to your hubby.”

“You deserve it @thekenyamoore and happy birthday to your handsome, sweet for you husband.”

“So happy for you @thekenyamoore you deserve it all … watching old school RHOA you’ve came so far xx.”

Moore eloped with her businessman beau at the destination wedding ceremony, where not even her father attended. The secret nuptials upset Bravo head-honchos, who reportedly used the RHOA star keeping her man hidden from cameras as reasoning for other cast members to have to share all aspects of their lives on the show next seaso.

But the 47-year-old mother-to-be has said she had a reason for keeping Daly away from the glare of the reality TV spotlight.

“Every time someone has been associated with me, they attack that person — immediately going after them, trying to bring them down and saying crazy things,” Moore told People magazine last year. “They tear people apart. And so for [Marc], he was like, ‘This is about me and you — it’s not about me or you.’ He just wanted it to be about our pure love and not about him.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
