‘Wowza’: Porsha Williams’ Fans Marvel Over Baby PJ’s Response to Her Dad

It’s well known that Porsha Williams’ daughter is the spitting image of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star’s fiancé Dennis McKinley, but a reaction Pilar Jhena’ had to her dad may indicate their bond goes deeper than just sharing the same appearance.

A video Williams uploaded to her Instagram account showed her holding the 6-month-old in her lap as McKinley wondered aloud off-camera about a toy. While no one answered, PJ turned her little head in the direction of her dad.

“Me & Dem babies @pilarjhena @princessshya ❤️❤️ Nobody: Dennis: who’s toy is this ????? 😂,” Williams captioned the post.

Fans immediately noticed the glimpse PJ shot over toward McKinley and raved about it.

“Look how she jumps at hearing Dennis voice ..#daddysgirl.”

“She sho got happy when she heard her daddy’s voice! 💕 I was a daddy’s girl too! Anyone else besides me wanna butter PJ’s legs & eat them? 🤣🤣🤣 Dang on rolls are everything @porsha4real”

Of course, other fans mentioned the oft-cited observation about how much PJ resembles her dad, who recently got engaged to Williams again after they broke up earlier this summer.

“That baby don’t look like you lol… that Dennis baby.”

“She look like her daddy .. lil cutie pie.”

“Wowza.”

“Lil girls know they look like they dads when they are young, and then look just like their mom when they are older.”

“That lil baby just like her dad…And look like going be long”

Williams and McKinley have been spending lots of time together ever since they publicly reunited during an “RHOA” cast trip to Toronto. Both were in town for the annual Caribana festival at the beginning of August. That’s where The Original Hot Dog Factory owner reportedly popped the question for a second time in a year.

“Tanya Sam threw a party for the ladies on the glamorous rooftop pool bar of Lavelle in downtown Toronto, and all of the ladies, including NeNe [Leakes], Kenya [Moore] and Kandi [Burruss] filed in around 11,” Toronto-based social columnist Shinan Govani told Radar Online while chatting about the party held on Aug. 2.

Govani added that after Sam gave a speech and mentioned a special someone flew into town, McKinley walked out, surprising Williams in the process.

“Suddenly he was on his knees, and re-proposing,” Govani said. “Porsha accepted, and yelled, ‘I’m engaged!’ again.”

It seems that despite Williams telling her “Dish Nation” co-hosts that the duo is “taking it one day at a time,” they decided to recommit their love to one another. And by the looks of a recent comment that McKinley made to a fan on Instagram, they may have gotten hitched by now.

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.
