Eboni K. Williams Expecting First Baby in August: A Journey of Motherhood on Her Own Terms

Eboni K. Williams, former Real Housewives of New York star, is expecting her first child this August through IVF with a sperm donor. The 40-year-old attorney and television personality shared the exciting news and stunning baby bump photos with PEOPLE magazine this week.

In a recent interview, Williams opened up about her journey to motherhood, revealing that she wasn’t always sure if she wanted to have children. However, after some soul-searching during the pandemic, she realized that she had more than enough love and resources to share with a child, even without a partner.

Williams expressed her desire to create her own legacy through motherhood and is receiving an outpouring of support online for her decision to become a mother on her own terms. While some applaud her for taking control of her own destiny, others criticize her choice to go at motherhood alone, calling it difficult, expensive, and mentally exhausting.

Despite the mixed reactions, Williams feels incredibly fortunate to be expecting a baby girl, whom she has lovingly nicknamed “one-of-one.” She reflected on the journey that led her to this moment, from freezing her eggs at 34 to the successful embryo transfer that resulted in her pregnancy.

As Williams prepares to welcome her daughter into the world, she is grateful for the opportunity to become a mother and is excited to embark on this new chapter of her life.
