‘Mama and Baby Bear’: Fans Rave Over Kenya Moore’s Heartwarming Photo with Her 1-Year-Old Daughter

It looks like Kenya Moore spent her weekend enjoying quality time with daughter Brooklyn Daly.

The “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star took to Instagram on Saturday, Aug. 8, and posted the cutest snap of herself and her 1-year-old daughter. The image showed Moore — who was completely makeup free, capturing a quick selfie of baby Brooklyn lying on her shoulder.

“Happy Saturday!” the 49-year-old mother captioned her post.

Baby Brooklyn appeared to be asleep while adorably holding her head and sucking on a pacifier. Moore flashed a closed-lip smile.

More than 88,000 fans hit the heart button on the former Miss USA pageant winner’s sweet snap and fawned over how beautiful the duo looked.

“Such a beautiful photo 👑🖤 mama and baby bear,” a fan commented. A second added, “Priceless moments! 💙💙Awww ADORABLE!! U two look amazing! So cute 😍.”

Others noted how happy Moore looked being with her baby girl. One user wrote, “You look so complete. ❤️”

Someone else said, “I don’t know you but somehow I really am so happy for you love 💕 I pray all is well and your family is super blessed 💕.”

Moore is clearly cherishing the sweet moments with her toddler and enjoying motherhood.

She penned a sweet message to her daughter on May 10 and expressed how grateful she was to have baby Brooklyn in her life.

“Thank you Jehovah God for this perfect miracle you have given me. The daily joy I experience from being a mother to this angel is indescribable,” Moore wrote. “Brooklyn, you are my forever 💕 , my heartbeat, my reason for living, my whole life. Thank you Marc for giving me the love of my life and being a great dad to our beautiful, innocent kind, precocious baby..”

Moore and estranged husband Marc Daly welcomed their daughter on Nov. 4, 2018.

She told Upscale magazine that baby Brooklyn has changed her for the better.

“I am definitely more compassionate. I’m 100 percent more patient. I feel more kind, but I’m also less tolerant of fake news and people who are disingenuous or not kind,” said Moore. “I strive to be the best mother I can be. I’m very attentive and believe it’s important to make her feel like she is the most important person in my life.”

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.
