Porsha Williams’ Baby Girl Chatting It Up With Dad Leaves Fans in Stitches

Porsha Williams may have it covered when it comes to her daughter’s hair, but when it comes to keeping up a conversation with Pilar Jhena’, her dad Dennis McKinley is all over it.

A video the proud parents posted on PJ’s Instagram page Thursday shows Williams’ fiancé engaging the 10-week-old in conversation — or at least as much of a conversation as one can have with such a little baby.

“Tell me what else?” McKinkey asks his first and only daughter, who responds by cooing and drooling.

“Yeah, let me know what’s up,” he responds. “Tell me what’s up.”

PJ gently coos once again, and her dad says, “OK, I’ll put in to that.”

In the accompanying caption, the parents seemed to take aim at the rumors swirling about the status of their relationship by writing, “Secret language with daddy! That’ll keep em out tha business lol 👼🏽👨🏾‍🦲 #DaddysGirl.”

The moment was one many fans found adorable, and they said as much in the comments section.

“This is the cutest 😍❤”

“That’s so sweet.”

“Awwwwww…..this is so cute! Looking like her daddy every day😀 God bless you @pilarjhena !”

The fan-adored moment is the latest in the life of PJ that’s been shared on social media of late. However, what “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” fans have not seen lately are any new photos of McKinley and Williams posing together. The last one of the two that Williams shared was an image of the duo at a charity event uploaded in May; McKinley shared similar shots on his own account at around the same time.

Rumors have alleged that McKinley was unfaithful to Williams, and the “RHOA” star unfollowed her man on Instagram. McKinley seemed to sound off on the allegations on the social media service earlier this month indicating he thought the claims were “bullsh–.”

To further put his feelings about the claims on display, McKinley announced he’d be filing a lawsuit against YouTube video blogger Tasha K, who spread the cheating allegations, among other more nefarious accusations.

“These false and slanderous allegations against me are made solely to damage my reputation, jeopardize my ongoing businesses, and negatively impact my family,” McKinley said in a statement issued to E! News. “My attempts to ignore this slander have only empowered Latasha Kebe (aka Tasha K.) to create more false accusations. I am currently taking legal action — and am currently being represented by Michael T. Sterling of Dreyer Sterling, LLC.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
