“My life is complete. Happy Sunday May God bless you and your family 👶🏽❤️ @thebrooklyndaly #miraclebaby,” Moore captioned the photo.

The mommy-daughter image left both her fans and celebrity pals swooning.

Stars like Tina Knowles-Lawson and ex-“Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” cast member Joseline Hernandez as well as fellow “RHOA” stars including Kandi Burruss, Cynthia Bailey, and Shamea Morton all left loving comments for Moore.

Additionally, Moore’s followers couldn’t keep themselves from piling on the praise for the star, who finally realized her dream of becoming a mother when she welcomed Brooklyn into the world late last year with hubby Marc Daly by her side.

“Both of you look naturally gorgeous! @thekenyamoore it looks like you don’t have on any makeup and if that’s the case you definitely don’t need it! ☺️ So pretty!!”

“Absolutely adore her …such a natural already. Perfectly made fro you🙌🏽❤”

“Mr. Daly is one Blessed man he has two beauty Queens!🙏🙏”

“Your family is beautiful…i so happy for u ..you were to good for that show they tried to say u couldnt have kids and u could not find a husband..and look how u bloom into every ones fairytales.”

It’s long been important for Moore to have a family of her own. The star, who has dealt with fertility woes, faced abandonment issues from her own mother, who has denied her for her entire life.

“No one really knows what it’s like to feel rejected and abandoned by someone who gave birth to you and who treated you so badly and who hoped you would fail,” Moore told People magazine last year after having her daughter.  “For me to have a family of my own, to me, that’s what makes me feel like I’m at the pinnacle of happiness.”

Moore’s pursuit of that happiness came after she wed Daly when the pair eloped in St. Lucia in 2017 and she visited a fertility clinic in Barbados later that year. By April 2018, during the season 10 “RHOA” reunion, Moore hesitantly revealed that she was expecting.

Now 6-month-old Brooklyn Doris Daily was born via an emergency c-section on November 4, 2018, weeks ahead of her due date, which was Thanksgiving Day.

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.
