This is the first child for the TV star. She announced she and her now-estranged husband, Ed Hartwell, were expecting their first baby together via Instagram in July 2016. “Surprise! We have a new addition coming soon… Tune into #KandidlyKeshia this week for the details!” Keshia captioned a cute photo of herself holding a pink cupcake adorned with a baby topper at the time.

Shortly after Keshia revealed the couple’s exciting baby news, Ed shockingly filed for divorce from her after less than a year of marriage. As previously reported, he filed for legal separation from the child star in Georgia’s Fulton County Superior Court days later, and requested his pregnant wife undergo a paternity test. Ed — a former pro football player — is already a dad to a nine-year-old son, Edgerton Hartwell, Jr., whom he welcomed with his ex-wife, Lisa Wu-Hartwell, in May 2007.

“This has been this single most challenging year of my life. However, I wake up this Thanksgiving more grateful and in awe of God’s power than ever. Through it all this little face has kept me going and helped me tap into strength I didn’t even know I possess,” she wrote in November 2016 alongside an ultrasound snapshot. “I am so eternally grateful for my little Ella. I would not trade any of what I have gone through for her. She is my greatest accomplishment and joy. She has inspired my smile even through the tears. I am so proud she has chosen me to be her mommy.”
