AceShowbiz - Eboni K. Williams is going to be a mom soon. Revealing that she's expecting her first child, "The Real Housewives of New York City" alum called her pregnancy her "remarkable miracle."
The 40-year-old broke the exciting news in an interview with 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 said.
"That's why I've called this 'my remarkable miracle,' " the lawyer continued. "Because it really does feel like I've been the recipient of some very enormous favor from God above."
"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," she explained further. "So it really does feel like fate."
Eboni wasn't always down to becoming a mother, but eventually, she grew to want kids. "I really freed myself of the rigidness of what legacy, love, and family could look like," she shared. "Those are the three pillars I reassessed, and it helped shake me from this idea of, 'I have to have it this way on this timeline everyone else is following.' "
Being single isn't an issue for Eboni though. "There will always be that voice that says, 'Maybe I should have waited to meet a man and remarry before I had a baby, maybe I should not be trying to do this alone,' " she said. "But f**k that! I'm not waiting. I'm 40 years old. I'm not waiting to build assets. I'm not waiting to build my career. I'm not waiting to travel. And I'm certainly not waiting to start a family."
Still, the TV host isn't ruling out finding a partner. "I believe in timing," she told Access Hollywood last January. "I believe in the timing of life and love and all of it. I was texting with a good girlfriend this morning, 'Listen, I'm totally open to it. I'm not gonna force it, and I'm not gonna fight it."
