Williams’ photo received over 6,500 likes as well as over 200 comments from a few fans who couldn’t believe how much the 4-year-old has grown. 

“PILLAR IS A BIG GIRL NOW AND SO CUTE”

“The dimples for me”

“She’s such a cutie”

There were also several comments from people musing about who Pilar favors the most between Williams and her father, businessman Dennis McKinley.  

“She’s getting to look more like her father. His trademark shows.. ‘His simples’ etc.”

“Pj is beautiful shaa, chai, check out her Dimple. She is truly a princess. Like mother like daughter, beauty runs in the family. Good genes”

“So beautiful and looks like a perfect mix of her mom and dad.”

The “Go Naked Hair” founder and McKinley welcomed their daughter in 2019. Within a year of dating, the former couple were engaged and Williams got pregnant. However, their relationship hit a roadblock after McKinley’s cheating scandal. 

In 2020, Williams talked about the reason for her ex-fiancé’s infidelity on the “RHOA” aftershow noting that the root of it was his selfishness.

“People when they talk about infidelity they try to make up these big, big deep reasons,” Williams said.

“And really what it was could have been that we had got together so fast, and this chick was still there,” she continued, “and maybe I wasn’t around and he just went back and just made a phone call. It can be really simple, it doesn’t have to be that deep.” 

The mom of one added, “Once we kept going to counseling it came to, you did it because it was selfish and because that’s something you wanted to do.”

Though they tried to work out their differences, Williams and McKinley decided to split and turn their focus on co-parenting their child. 

Nearly two years after their breakup, Williams found love again with Nigerian entrepreneur Simon Guobadia. The pair became engaged one month after dating and said their “I Do’s” in November 2022.

Williams recently shared photos from their honeymoon in Costa Rica on her Instagram.

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.
