‘A Mixture of Her Dad and Your Dad’: Kenya Moore’s Picture with Her Dad Has Fans Noting How Much Her Daughter Brooklyn Looks Like Him

Kenya Moore’s photo with her father, Ronald Grant, has fans comparing his looks to those of her 4-year-old daughter Brooklyn Doris Daly. 

As the 52-year-old prepares to launch her own hair care salon in Atlanta, Georgia, she decided to host an event where this new venture is previewed.

Her father decided to make an appearance to support his daughter, and Moore wouldn’t be Moore if she didn’t upload a picture for her 2.2 million followers to see.

“My dad made a rare appearance to come out and support his #1 for my preview of my @kenyamoorehairspa.”

She proceeded to write, “Through all the years he has been my biggest supporter and it was so good to feel the love [red heart] P.S. he would want you to see his new cowboy boots.”

Moore’s photo received over 21,000 likes, with over 500 comments. While the majority of the comments celebrated the father-daughter duo, a few highlighted how much Brooklyn resembles Grant. 

“Brooklyn kind of looks like him here [red heart] I’m so happy he came to support you!”

“Brooklyn looks like her grandpa”

“Brooklyn kind of looks like a mixture of her dad and your dad now!! Genetics are so amazing!”

Moore had her mini-me via C-section back in November 2018. The Miss USA winner shares her adorable child with estranged husband, Marc Daly. Though they are no longer together, the two seem to have a healthy co-parent relationship. 

For Moore’s birthday, she uploaded a picture onto her Instagram Story showing fans that Brooklyn and Daly sent her flowers. 

“Thank you for my flowers Brooklyn and Marc,” Moore wrote over top of the photo. 

It is apparent the reality star takes being a mother seriously. In a past episode of Fox’s show “Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test,” Moore discussed wanting to be the type of mother to her daughter that she was never able to have

In a deliberation, she expressed “She’s [Brooklyn] just the world to me. I had her very late in life, and, um, but I wanted to be the type of mom to my daughter that I never had.”

Moore has been very vocal about her own strained relationship with her mom, Patricia Moore. 

Patricia had become pregnant with Moore at a very young age and felt she couldn’t take care of her. Therefore, Grant’s mother, Doris, raised her as her own. 

In 2017, Moore announced that Doris passed away from Alzheimer’s by issuing a lengthy Instagram post describing her grandmother as “the only woman in the world who has loved me unconditionally.”

“I know you will never leave my side in life or after. I am eternally grateful to you. Thank you for loving me,” she said.

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.
