Real Housewives' Kenya Moore Welcomes First Child

Congratulations are in order for The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kenya Moore and her husband, businessman Marc Daly!

On Sunday, Nov. 4, 2018, the married pair welcomed their first child together, a baby girl named Brooklyn Doris Daly, People magazine reports.

"Brooklyn because that's where we met and fell in love, and Doris after my grandmother who passed away last year and who raised me," Moore, 47, explained to the publication. The happy couple's little bundle of joy was born via emergency C-section at 9:39 a.m. EST and weighed in at 5 lbs., 12 oz. Adding that she herself is doing well, the new mom said, "Brooklyn is very alert and active."

As Nicki Swift previously reported, Moore first announced that she and Daly were expecting their first child together in April 2018 during a RHOA reunion special. At the time, the Bravo star, who underwent in-vitro fertilization treatments, told host Andy Cohen, "We will definitely be welcoming a boy or girl in late this year. I'm still very nervous about everything and so I just want to get past a safe place ... I just want a healthy baby." The celeb couple tied the knot in June 2017.

Just last week, Moore revealed on social media that she'd tested positive for "possible preeclampsia." According to the Mayo Clinic, this condition is "characterized by high blood pressure" and "usually begins after 20 weeks of pregnancy in women whose blood pressure had been normal." The website noted that preeclampsia may lead to "serious — even fatal — complications" for both mom and baby, and that the "most effective treatment is delivery."

Moore later took to Instagram on Saturday, Nov. 3 to share another update with her 1.3 million followers. Alongside a snapshot of herself in the hospital, she wrote, "If you want to make God laugh have a plan... Won't be long now. Pray for us #babydaly #weloveyou #prayers."

A number of other celebs have shared exciting baby announcements of their own over the last week. On Monday, Oct. 29, Younger star Hilary Duff revealed that she and boyfriend Matthew Koma had welcomed their first child together, a baby girl named Banks Violet Bair, on Thursday, Oct. 25. "This little bit has fully stolen our hearts!" Duff, who also shares 6-year-old son Luca with ex-husband Mike Comrie, wrote on social media, captioning a sweet photo of the proud parents holding their newborn daughter. "She joined our world at home on Thursday afternoon and is absolute magic."

Congrats again to Moore and Daly on their baby news!
