Kenya Moore Tells a Producer Why She Wants Another Child with Ex-Husband Marc Daly
Find out what Kenya shared about her plans to welcome another child on RHOA.
Kenya Moore and Marc Daly’s divorce has been in the works since 2021, but The Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member and her ex have been separated even longer, as they confirmed they were no longer together back in September 2019. However, Kenya shared on Episode 7 of RHOA Season 15 that while she and Marc still intend to proceed with finalizing their divorce, she’s also considering having another child with her ex.
Marc’s Role in Kenya’s Plans for Baby No. 2
More specifically, Kenya wants to use her and Marc’s frozen embryos to welcome another child and give their daughter, Brooklyn, a sibling. She told her doctor as much on the June 18 episode of RHOA, explaining that, ideally, she’d be able to carry the child herself. Not only that, but she wouldn’t involve Marc in raising the child.
“I thought about adoption because, you know, my husband and I aren’t together, but I have these embryos, [and] when we did our contract, if anything happened to us, if we broke up or divorced, they would belong to me,” Kenya said. “So, morally speaking, I owe him to just have a conversation. [But] I wouldn’t be asking anything from him.”
Kenya’s Reasoning for Having Another Child with Marc
Given the state of her and Marc’s relationship, a RHOA producer inquired about Kenya’s thought process, asking, “You and Marc have been in a difficult divorce for years. Why would you have another child with him?”
Responded Kenya, “I don’t know anyone that would choose to have multiple children on this earth by multiple men. And if I’m not in a serious relationship, I don’t see why I wouldn’t use my embryos.”
That said, Kenya acknowledged that she and Marc would have to have “a hard conversation” before she proceeded.
Kenya’s Conversation with Her Doctor About Baby No. 2
In addition to having a difficult chat with Marc, Kenya’s doctor warned her that before moving forward with the process, she’d need to carefully consider the risks of another pregnancy.
Providing context about her first pregnancy, Kenya shared in a confessional, “I had every scare known to man when I conceived Brooklyn — first of all, not even knowing if I could conceive. Every time I went to the doctor, it just didn’t seem like Brooklyn would ever be a real possibility for me, so I was depressed my entire pregnancy because I didn’t know if she would be delivered to term or not.”
Kenya’s doctor also reflected on her first pregnancy while discussing the possibility of her carrying another child. “The risk of morbidity and mortality increases more as we give birth at older ages, so you know, you have to really make sure that you’re willing to take that risk. I know how that pregnancy was as well. After 32 years of practicing, that was probably the scariest delivery I’ve been in.”
“Should we put you and your body through that particular thing again?” Kenya’s doctor continued. “Will we come out with all the same blessings that we did before without hitting the landmines?”
“I never thought about all of those risks,” Kenya said in a confessional. “I don’t want to put myself at risk to the point where I may not survive having another baby, and leaving Brooklyn and another child motherless.”
