Former Real Housewives of New York star Eboni K. Williams announced that she is pregnant with her first child.
Eboni’s child is due on August 16 and will be a baby girl. She also confirmed that the father, who was a donor, is Black.
Eboni used her frozen eggs to pursue and a sperm donation and in vitro fertilization (IVF). She is 40 years old.
“Anybody who’s gone through IVF or attempted IVF will tell you so many things have to go right for the final result of this journey to be a baby. That’s why I’ve called this ‘my remarkable miracle,’ because it really does feel like I’ve been the recipient of some very enormous favor from God above,” she told PEOPLE.
Williams also says she’s nicknamed her daughter “one-of-one,” a moniker that doesn’t just signify how special the baby-to-be is to her, but also represents the luck she had to make her dreams of getting pregnant into a reality.
Eboni says that after doin some self reflection, she realised she did not need a relationship to have a child.
“I really freed myself of the rigidness of what legacy, love, and family could look like,” she added. “Those are the three pillars I reassessed, and it helped shake me from this idea of, ‘I have to have it this way on this timeline everyone else is following.'”
