The three-part special, according to Bravo, will chronicle how first-time parents Williams and fiancé Dennis McKinley balance blending their families as well as settling on a place to live. It’ll all lead up to the birth of the parent’s new baby girl, Pilar Jhena, who was born on March 22.

Fans responded with tons of excitement to the upcoming TV event.

“Yesss I figured it was going to be a show and that’s the only way we were going to be able see the baby.”

“I just so love you @porsha4real! God is so good! You have truly been blessed Queen 🥰 Congratulations again and may God continue to bless you ‼️”

“@porsha4real I can’t wait, soooo happy for you. God bless your family!!”

“Now that’s what I’m talking about @Porsha4real 🌹❤️”

The road to motherhood was not easy for Williams. After disclosing to People magazine in September that she was expecting, the star detailed her past struggle with a miscarriage.

“When I found out I was pregnant, I was excited [but] I had mixed feelings. The other feeling that I had beside excitement was fear,” she admitted. “I’ve had a miscarriage before in my past, which I’ve also been open about because I suffer with fibroids and had to have a myomectomy. So just the fear of, ‘Is the baby going to be okay? Will I make it full term?’ All those questions that you ask if you’ve had a miscarriage before.”

Aside from a brief hospitalization linked to uterine fibroids in November 2018, Williams’ pregnancy had been relatively smooth sailing. However, there have been some hiccups along the way. When planning her gender reveal party, her carnival theme threatened to become a cookout when the party planners failed to get a tent properly set up.

The results of the bash will air on this Sunday’s episode of “RHOA.”

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.
