New Post of Baby Brooklyn Leaves Mom Kenya Moore Clearing Up Confusion Surrounding the True Age of Her Baby Girl

A recent update about Kenya Moore’s baby girl caused some confusion and led “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum to clear the air.

On Wednesday, March 27, Moore uploaded a photo of her daughter Brooklyn Doris Daly to Instagram, marking the infant’s 5-month birthday.

“#5months I’m getting my weight up… 13lbs and counting 👶🏽 #miraclebaby #brooklyndaly,” the caption read.

“I thought she was born early November ? No?” a fan asked.

Brooklyn — through her mom, Moore, who runs the account — set the record straight about her age.

“@sassy_cyn_ I’m 20 weeks old so I’m 5 months,” the reply read.

Even still, a debate ensued over how Brooklyn, who was born on Nov. 4 weighing in at 5 lbs. and 12 oz., can be five months old given the timeline.

“@thebrooklyndaly that’s 4 months. April will be 5 months (Dec was 1 month, Jan was 2 months, Feb was 3 months and Mar is 4 months). Note: I’m a mother of two and grandmother of two.”

“@thebrooklyndaly ok but that doesn’t make her 5 months Kenya…you count a month from date to date.”

“@lainieb3292018 it didn’t change the fact 20 weeks doesn’t equal 5 months. Simple maths will tell you that. I wasn’t criticising anybody just stating a fact. No different to people assuming pregnancy lasts for 9 months when in fact full term is 40 weeks which is 10 months or at least closer to 10 than it is to 9. Just saying 😂”

This is not the first time puzzled comments abounded surrounding Brooklyn’s age. When Moore marked her daughter’s 3-month birthday on Jan. 27, fans chimed in to say it seemed as if the new mom was celebrating a little early.

“I thought she was born on February 4th? That’s not 3 months ago, but that is 12 weeks ago.”

“I thought your baby was bore on November 4th how is she 3 months already? Its not making sense.”

However, Moore marked Brooklyn’s 4-month birthday without incident. In fact, the praise was piled on when the impressive “miracle baby” was pictured holding her bottle all by herself.

“She’s a scholar already 😁👏

“Wow! She can hold her bottle?! She’s growing up very fast😍

Some said the move was Brooklyn’s method of getting out of the way for another bundle of joy. And if Moore gets her way, she’d definitely give her daughter a sibling.

She told People magazine in December 2018, “I don’t know if my body can do it, but we would love to have one more. I want a little boy!”

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.
