The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star was photographed alongside her fiancé Dennis McKinley as they sat on a hospital bed.

“It’s going down! BASEMENT #MEETtheMcKinleys #BabyPJ #MILFSeason #Grateful ❤️🙏🏾” McKinley captioned the March 22 Instagram post.

The excitement is palpable as fans have made it known recently that they’re more than ready to see baby PJ come into the world.

Back when she went on her babymoon over the Christmas season last year, Williams managed to shoot some bikini-clad pics by the pool. On Thursday, the TV star showed off the final images she took at the Baha Mar Casino & Hotel in Nassau, Bahamas, on her Instagram account.

“Sunshine is the best medicine! 🌞” she wrote in the caption of the photo set.

The reality star’s followers gushed over her effortlessly beautiful looks.

“So pretty😍 we’re amazing #lifegivers.”

“Belly so smooth !! #hotmomma.”

“Beautiful @porsha4real u killing it 😍😍😍😍😘😘”

But many others remarked on how Williams had yet to go into labor so her baby girl can meet her “Insta aunties & uncles,” as the TV personality deemed them in a March 11 Instagram post of her ultrasound.

“Why do I feel like you been pregnant for 4 years 😂 I’m here for all of it tho 🙌🙌🙌”

“Porshaaaaa you’ve been pregnant for a thousand years when do we get to see PJ 😩😩😩😩😩”

“Girl, you been pregnant since I was 12 and I’m 26 lol  😂”

“I feel like u have been pregnant forever!”

Williams’ seemingly lengthy pregnancy may be tied to the fact that for a good portion of it, the star refused to confirm that she was expecting.

Last summer Williams actually seemed to make concerted efforts to disprove pregnancy rumors. One way she tried to do that was by posting an Instagram video in August panning down to her flat belly. But the move didn’t work well enough to convince fans.

“Girl, you pregnant stop trolling.”

“She still could be preggo…old pic.”

By the next month, Williams finally made things official. She announced within the pages of People magazine in September 2018 that she was expecting her first child with her fiancé.

“The thought of me getting that blessing after praying for it for so long and getting that blessing with someone who is just as excited as me — it’s Dennis’ first child, just like me — and it’s something we’ve both always wanted … It’s like a dream come true,” she said in her magazine spread announcing the news.

 

Still independent.

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.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
