“The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Kenya Moore could not contain her joy upon hearing her baby’s heartbeat for the first time — and her celebrity friends quickly congratulated her.

“My heart is overwhelmed by all the kindness and well wishes many of you have sent our family. ***** I felt compelled to share this video of one of our early ultrasounds when I saw my baby’s heart beating for the first time,” she wrote in the caption. “I cried like a baby myself! I couldn’t believe this miracle was growing inside me. And its heart was beating so fast! *** Even though my doctor says ‘Barbie’ she meant to say baby 😂. It was too early to tell the gender. *** Again, thank you for the love, prayers, and hope.”

The Miss USA 1993 winner has been plagued by rumors that she’s been faking her pregnancy and after hitting back at the naysayers last month, this video serves as her latest piece of proof — aside from a recent baby bump photo — that “Baby Twirl” is indeed real.

In response to the emotional clip, Moore’s pals — including her fellow RHOA co-star Cynthia Bailey, “Love and Hip Hop” alum Joseline Hernandez, “WAGS Miami” star Hencha Voight, “Basketball Wives” star Evelyn Lozada, Gizelle Bryant and Robyn Dixon of “The Real Housewives of Potomac,” Miami housewife Lisa Hochstein and Christina El Moussa of HGTV’s “Flip Or Flop” — all showered Moore with love.

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
