Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

At long last, baby PJ has made her debut! After the finale of their Real Housewives of Atlanta spin-off Porsha’s Having A Baby, Porsha Williams and Dennis McKinley are revealing their daughter, Pilar Jhena, to the world for the first time.

The couple welcomed their daughter back in March via C-section. Williams’ sister Lauren first broke the news via Instagram. After much anticipation and plenty of teases on Instagram, Williams and McKinley shared the first glimpse of their 7-week-old baby girl via People. Dressed in white, the new parents are all smiles as mommy cradles her resting newborn.

Prior to the big reveal, Williams spoke exclusively with ESSENCE and told us that Pilar is her daddy’s twin. “She has Dennis’s eyes and round face,” she said. “Trust me, when you see her, you’ll be like, ‘that’s little Dennisha!'” Based on these photos, she was not lying!

Porsha also gushed about motherhood, telling ESSENCE that, “being a mother period, knowing this little girl is going to love me and I have her forever has been the biggest blessing. I didn’t think I could love another being that much.”
