‘Work This Out’: Kenya Moore Fans Root for Her and Marc Daly to Reconcile After Their Sweet Birthday Ode to Daughter Brooklyn

It looks like Kenya Moore fans have hope that she and estranged husband Marc Daly will restore their ailing marriage.

Although, Moore and Daly split in September, the pair reunited for their daughter’s first birthday this week. The “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star took to Instagram on Sunday and posted a photo of herself, Daly and their 1-year-old daughter posing for a picture together, one day ahead of the baby’s Nov. 4 birthday.

In the photo, Moore and Daly looked quite cozy together, especially after fans noticed his hand around the reality TV star’s waist. They all smiled big for the camera and Moore wrote in her caption, “Happy Birthday @thebrooklyndaly your mommy and daddy love you beyond any words.”

“God blessed my existence with you and daddy,” she continued. “Thank you for choosing us to be your parents. #Godisgood #1yearold #miraclebaby #babybrooklyn #love #family.”

The 48-year-old mother received over 171,000 likes on her post. She was also met with several comments from fans hoping that she and her estranged husband would reconcile.

“🙌Oh thank God for both of y’all Union. No no long distance or distant situation should let you guys lose focus of the relationship that you guys have together. You have a beautiful family”

“Marc hand on Kenya ass. Oh God I’m praying that wise up and go home to his gorgeous family 🙏🙏🙏🙏 choose love Marc❤️”

“I want y’all to work this out😘😘😘.”

“Yawl are even starting to look alike such a beautiful family i can see the love you guys are glowing ❤️❤️ please get back together already”

In a recent interview with People magazine, Moore revealed that her and Daly have yet to file for legal separation. She’s hoping they can work through their marital woes.

“I didn’t get married to quit,” said Moore. “I love my husband. I don’t doubt that he loves me. Let me be clear, I took my vows seriously. I believe in for better and for worse and I believe in trying it all before you walk away, especially when we do have a child and we are a family.”

“I am hopeful, and have always wanted to work on our relationship. But I just don’t know if that’s even a possibility at this point, honestly,” Moore added. “Marc doesn’t seem to be there. I’d feel more comfortable calling it quits if I knew I’d tried everything and it still didn’t work. And we definitely didn’t do everything we could have done to save our relationship.”

Moore and Daly’s split stunned fans who believed, like Moore herself, that she’d finally found her happily ever after following her 2017 elopement with Daly in St. Lucia. Many of Moore’s supporters uplifted her following the announcement of her split with Daly.

“Praying for you God has your front, back, and side. Your gonna be just fine 🙏🏽. Can’t believe he cheated,” one fan wrote at the time.

Another added, “Don’t listen to rumors you guys shouldn’t give up so easily just because its the celebrity thing that’s happening these days. You guys have a beautiful daughter.”

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.
