Although Dixon’s delivery was a celebratory moment, it was also bittersweet. She told fans she wasn’t able to take her twins home at the time and had to leave them in the hospital for unknown reasons. She referred to it as one of the “most difficult days.”

“Today was one of the most difficult days of my life,” she wrote on Monday, along with a photo of her pregnancy shoot. “I have been blessed with two beautiful baby girls but to have to leave them just tore me apart. 🙏🏽 Praying they can come home sooner than later. I’m missing them so much already.”

On Saturday, Dixon revealed on Instagram that one of her daughter’s were finally able to come home.

“This little angel is home. Now we’re awaiting her sister to swiftly progress so she can join us. ❤️”

The father of her twin baby girls has yet to be revealed. She currently shares 14-year-old daughter Emani Richardson with ex-fiancé and rapper Lil Scrappy.

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
