‘So Proud of You’: Porsha Williams’ Fiancé Gushes Over Her Motherhood

It looks as if Porsha Williams is settling right into her new role as a mom.

The star of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” on Sunday was pictured holding her daughter Pilar Jhena. The bonding moment was shared on her fiancé Dennis McKinley’s Instagram page that day and he mentioned just how proud he was about her being a mother.

“So proud of you @porsha4real you’re making this momma thang look easy ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I can’t wait for your first Mother’s Day! #AwesomeMommyDotCom #BestMommaDotCom,” the Atlanta-based restaurateur captioned the post.

The image was also shared to Pilar’s official Instagram account with the caption, “I wanna live in my mommy’s arms forever! ❤️”

Several fans adored the photo as well as McKinley professing his satisfaction over his soon-to-be wife, with whom he’ll tie the knot before the end of the year.

“I love this. So sweet.”

“Awwwwwww how sweet knew she would be an amazing❤️❤️❤️❤️ wife and Mother Congratulations🌟🌟🌟🌟”

“Beautiful picture 😍 now @workwincelebrate you gotta hook her good this Mother’s Day! 👸🏾”

“@workwincelebrate 👉💯❌💯 to say this both ya’ll 1st time around(YA’LL DOING IT)God picked the perfect parents💜#God bless..”

Others marveled at how Williams, who gave birth a little more than a week ago via cesarean section, appeared to have already snapped back into shape.

“Snap Back sis.”

“Whew my sister done snapped tf back @porsha4real 🥰🥰”

“@porsha4real snapped back baby ♥️♥️”

“And she’s snapping back!!! 😍”

Williams welcomed her and McKinley’s first child into the world on March 22. Ever since then, the parents have been careful not to show her face to the world despite eager fans wanting a glimpse. That doesn’t mean Pilar has been camera shy, however. Her parents have snapped various photos of her in the days since her birth and posted them to their social media accounts.

One of the first images came from dad. He uploaded a tender photo of him holding Pilar’s tiny little foot gently in between his fingers moments after she was born.

“God is great! I am thankful for a healthy baby. Thank you for all of your well wishes,” the proud new father wrote on his Instagram Story March 23.

As for when fans can expect to finally see Pilar in her full glory, some have speculated there will be a spread in People magazine considering the publication has gotten exclusive details about Williams’ pregnancy since she announced it in September 2018.

However, it may be more likely that Pilar makes her total debut on the upcoming three-part spin-off Williams secured through Bravo. “Porsha’s Having a Baby” debuts April 28 one week after the “RHOA” season 11 reunion concludes.

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.
