Porsha Williams’ Fiancé Dennis McKinley Wants a Boy and Won’t Stop Until He Gets One, ‘No Off Time’

Expectant parents Porsha Williams and her fiancé Dennis McKinley were noticeably disappointed during their gender reveal party on Saturday, Oct. 27. And McKinley has vowed he won’t give up on his dreams of having a boy.

Video of the event went viral when family and friends popped their confetti, revealing a cloud of pink for a baby girl. Meanwhile, McKinley threw his hands on his head while his fianceé flailed her arms around wondering why her confetti was blue.

McKinley had hoped for a boy and made that clear on Instagram Tuesday, Oct. 30. He joked that he was ready to go for round two immediately to make that happen.

“#itsagirl🎀 but me & the wifey were clearly confused (and threw a tantrum) as her popper was blue & mine didn’t pop at all 🦋 it’s all good! I’m going right back in for the boy! 😂😂😂 #staypregnantforamin #noofftime #shootingfor3 #klaythompson #stephcurry #GodisGood #Thankful 🙏🏾,” the entrepreneur captioned a video of the reveal.

His followers responded with humor and congratulatory messages.

“That’s what u get for buying those things from Hustle Man 😂😂😂”

“They tried to play yall with the blue 😂😂😂😂, congratulations on baby girl.”

“@workwincelebrate I like the energy you have like NO STOPPING OR POPPING UNTIL the 3 gets here 🤣🤣🤣 but congratulations.”

“@porsha4real you better get in here😂😂😂.”

Earlier, however, Instagram users definitely caught the couple’s unexpected reactions and sounded off accordingly.

“Why they look pissed?”

“I think she wanted a boy.”

“Ya he doesn’t look the least bit happy then you got her throwing a fit about her confetti not working 🙄”

Williams later explained the reason behind their confusion on “Dish Nation.”

“When we popped it, I saw blue and I was like, ‘Yeah, it’s a boy,’” she said on the Oct. 29 airing of the show. “And then I look in the crowd and pink is everywhere. So then I’m like, ‘Wait, now I’m pissed. Who handed me a blue popper?’ Then I was confused.

“Dennis had to be the most shocked,” she added of McKinley’s response. “He is the one who swore up and down it was a boy because the umbilical cord on the sonogram was the penis.”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

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.
