‘Welcome to Motherhood’: Quad Webb Shares First Photo of Daughter Ariana

It looks like Quad Webb‘s family is thriving! The “Married to Medicine” reality star shared the first photo of her newborn daughter Ariana in a Tuesday, June 23 Instagram post.

Ariana wore a pink onesie and appeared to be resting on a bed flooded in pink sheets for her social media debut. Like many celebrity parents, Quad opted to hide her daughter’s face from the camera. The former “Sister Circle” talk show host held her baby girl’s hand in the image. “Life is precious, it should be protected and valued 💞 #blacklivesmatter,” she wrote.

Quad’s picture with her bundle of joy made some fans melt. An Instagram user wrote: “She is going to be the cutest thingâ€ïžđŸ„°.” Other people, however, congratulated the mother of one for her new addition to the family. “Welcome to Motherhood đŸ„°,” another fan said. A third user remarked, “congratulations Ms. Quad!!!! You’ll be an amazing mother!!💗.”

Quad revealed in an Instagram Live chat on May 22 that she was in the process of looking for a new home, explaining that a new baby girl is joining the family. During the time of her announcement, Ariana weighed eight pounds and was still in the hospital. The “Cooking with Miss Quad: Live, Laugh, Love and Eat” author explained that her family would call her daughter Ari.

Quad was married to Dr. Gregory Lunceford for six years before filing for divorce in 2018. Gregory seems to have wanted to live a single lifestyle. He admitted during the season five reunion of “M2M” that he and a friend had gone into a hotel room with two women, but said nothing happened. The couple’s divorce became finalized in October 2019, but the process was anything but easy. Quad implied in an interview on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” that the psychiatrist did not want to sign the divorce papers. “He’s been non-compliant in turning in the paperwork in which we need to complete the divorce. So I figure if you want to live single, then you do the work to be single,” she said.

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.
