Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams welcomes baby girl named 'PJ'

Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams has welcomed her first child with fiance Dennis McKinley, a baby girl that they've provisionally named 'PJ'.

The 37-year-old reality star, who host Dish Nation as well as having a turn on Celebrity Apprentice in America, gave birth to her daughter at 1.36pm local time, on Friday.

People.com has reported that the baby weighed in at 6lbs 15oz and measured 20 inches long.

Speaking to the site, Dennis McKinley said: "What a time to be alive! Porsha and I are so happy and blessed to announce the arrival of our daughter, Baby PJ."

Dennis added: “We couldn’t have imagined a more magical moment! Can’t thank everyone enough for joining us on this journey-it’s been a fantastic journey,” they add.

The happy outcome is that Porsha had dreamed of, after worrying about suffering another heartbreaking miscarriage.

Speaking about her pregnancy previously, Porsha had revealed: "When I found out I was pregnant, I was excited [but] I had mixed feelings. The other feeling that I had beside excitement was fear."

The fear had come from a miscarriage over six years ago and this played on Porsha's mind during this pregnancy.

She previously told People.com: "I’ve had a miscarriage before in my past, which I’ve also been open about because I suffer with fibroids and had to have a myomectomythis.

"So just the fear of, ‘Is the baby going to be okay? Will I make it full term?’ All those questions that you ask if you've had a miscarriage before."

Revealing the provisional name of 'PJ', Porsha said that deciding on what to call their first born had left the couple at loggerheads.

Before they knew it was going to be a girl, Dennis had pushed for Napoleon, which Porsha dismissed out of hand.

She said that they both agreed on one name: "One of the names that he has absolutely settled on is PJ. PJ stands for Porsha Jr. He wants to name our daughter Porsha Jr."
