Eboni K. Williams Welcomes First Child, Calls It a 'Miracle' After IVF Journey
Eboni K. Williams is officially a mom!
On Monday (Sept. 23), the “Real Housewives of New York City” alum took to Instagram to announce that she gave birth to her baby girl last month.
“Liberty Alexandria Williams,” she wrote under a carousel of pictures. “My daughter was born in New York City in August 2024. Forevermore, I’m changed. I’m responsible for ensuring her wellbeing and that Liberty enhances the spaces she occupies. This little girl has been born into significant privilege. Thus, she holds significant responsibility.”
She continued, “As her ancestor, Toni Morrison tasked her… Since she has been born free, her birth assignment is to now free somebody else.” Williams said that she named her little one after “our nation’s famous monument, the Statute of Liberty, originated as a tribute to the newly freed Black American.”
She added, “Born into a nation and at a time such as this…Young Liberty has arrived on divine time.” Read the full post below.
The lawyer announced her pregnancy in June, marking a pivotal moment in her journey to motherhood. Two years earlier, Williams had shared her decision to use her frozen eggs and pursue in vitro fertilization (IVF) with the help of a sperm donor, as reported by PEOPLE.
"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," she told the outlet. "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."
The 40-year-old continued, "I did one egg retrieval at 34 years old, not really having a clear intention on if I would use those eggs or when I would use the eggs. And six years later, that one egg retrieval led to one genetically normal embryo which led to one successful embryo transfer and — one pregnancy later — I'll soon have, God willing, one beautifully healthy baby girl. So it really does feel like fate."
