Eboni K. Williams decided to stop waiting for Mister Right and start a family on her own via sperm donation and in vitro fertilization, and her first child – a daughter – is due on August 16.
‘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.” But f*** that!’ the expecting 40-year-old told People on Wednesday.
‘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. I just refuse to wait one more day, that’s where I’m at. Everything I want to do, I’m doing right now. And I’m excited. I feel as ready as I’m ever going to be.’
Eboni continued: ‘I really freed myself of the rigidness of what legacy, love, and family could look like. 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.”‘
Williams’ geriatric pregnancy journey began during the pandemic when she decided to unfreeze one of the eggs she froze at age 34: ‘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 Breakfast Club host Charlamagne tha God Instastoried: ‘I am extremely happy for you! Congratulations @ebonikwilliams!’
The Real Housewives of New York City alum also received congratulatory comments on her Instagram post from Sherri Shepherd, Loni Love, Cynthia Bailey, Colton Brown-Underwood, Claudia Jordan, Garcelle Beauvais, S.E. Cupp, and Meghan McCain.
Eboni divorced a mystery man, at age 28, after just 10 months of marriage and she split with her fiancé of three years – Warburg Pincus COO Steven Glenn – before making history as the first African-American cast member of the Bravo reality show in 2021.
At the time, DailyMail.com revealed that Williams showed little to no interest in Glenn’s three sons – ages 21, 18, and 14 – and barely ever attended their soccer games or events in New Jersey.
An insider dished: ‘The kids barely knew her, and she barely knew them. She just wasn’t engaged in that part of his life at all.’
The Harlem-based, Louisiana-born lawyer admitted to People on Wednesday: ‘I want to say that with conviction and clarity; I was not the little girl that grew up fantasizing about having kids and what I would name them and all of that. That was not my dream or fantasy. I had no real expectation around it.’
Eboni – who was raised by a single mother – currently hosts the weekly Uppity Productions podcast, Holding Court with Eboni K. Williams, which streams Wednesdays.
At this point, it’s unclear if Allen Media Group will renew Williams’ small claims court show Equal Justice with Judge Eboni K. Williams for a second season.
