‘She’s So Teeny:’ Kenya Moore Fans Ooh and Ahh Over Pic of Baby Brooklyn Daly

Kenya Moore celebrated her first Thanksgiving as a mother this past Thursday and she stated how thankful she was for her new arrival.

“The Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum treated fans to a new photo of her daughter on Nov. 22, which was originally supposed to be Brooklyn Daly’s birthday.

“Thank God for my miracle baby, my husband and my life. When you have faith in Him all things are possible. Happy Thanksgiving from the Dalys #love #family #brooklyndaly #baby #preemie #faith #God #Thankful,” Moore wrote in the caption as she cradled her baby, whose face she shielded from the camera.

While fans have yet to get a solid look at the baby, whose father is Moore’s husband Marc Daly, that didn’t stop them from swooning over her. They also applauded the former pageant queen for her new state of motherhood.

“OMG what a beautiful baby.”

“She is so tiny @thekenyamoore… I wish one day I feel that blessing too 🙏”

“She’s so teeny ☺️”

“Beautiful pic, Mama!”

“Look at how you hold her @thekenyamoore you’re already such a wonderful, protective, loving mommy! Your gift from God… Being treasured as such!!! 😘😚”

“We know, Kenya. Just live and enjoy in each moment. There are people who are genuinely happy that you have received blessings.😉😎”

“Awwwwww! So happy for you! You’ve been hated on just for wanting the love you deserve and look at how quickly God gave it all to you! Baby…Husband…Family! #Blessed.”

Moore welcomed Brooklyn during an emergency cesarean section on Sunday, Nov. 4, weeks before her Thanksgiving Day due date. The first time mom was forced to do so after suffering from complications from preeclampsia. In addition to severely swollen feet, the condition led her high blood pressure to reach dangerous highs.

Since then, Moore has been recovering and doting on her daughter every step of the way.

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.
