Porsha Williams’ Fiancé Said to be ‘Beyond Helpful’ Post-Pregnancy, Waiting on Her ‘Hand and Foot’

Posted byBy Kiersten Willis | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

If anyone deserves a Family Man of the Year Award, it might be Porsha Williams’ fiancé Dennis McKinley.

A new report reveals that before and since “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star gave birth to their first child, daughter Pilar Jhena, on March 22, he’s been doting on her round the clock.

“Dennis has been beyond supportive and helpful,” a source dished to HollywoodLife.com Monday, March 25. “He’s been there right by her side throughout the entire pregnancy and she doesn’t know what she’d do without him. Dennis has waited on Porsha hand and foot.”

The source also said that Williams, who told People magazine in September 2018 that her pregnancy came as a surprise, “always knew she wanted to become a mom one day and she feels incredibly blessed with a beautiful, healthy daughter and an amazing fiancé.”

“She can’t wait to marry him and make their family official. Porsha has so much to look forward to and she feels like the best is just beginning,” the insider added.

McKinley popped the question to Williams after the pair learned last summer that they were going to become parents. Williams finally came clean about her pregnancy that September, and when March rolled around baby PJ was finally ready to enter the world.

By Sunday, March 24, it appeared the couple was readying to take their new bundle of joy home, according to a sneak peek of PJ on dad’s Instagram Story. On Wednesday, McKinley shared an image of a swaddled Pilar getting some rest as she remained cozy at home with her parents. It was a little more than fans got when Pilar was first born as McKinley thanked the public “for all of your well wishes.”

While the insider noted that Williams was anxious about the birth process, which was reportedly facilitated through a scheduled cesarean section, they said, “she was so excited to meet that baby.”

Additionally, the source said pregnancy has been good for Williams, who was once known for letting her emotions get the best of her and lashing out at co-stars who provoked her, as Kenya Moore famously did during the season 6 “RHOA” reunion.

“Pregnancy changed Porsha so much. Friends felt she was a lot less dramatic and so much calmer. Porsha is so excited she officially became a mom,” the insider revealed.

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.
