Porsha Williams, 37, is going to be a mom! Thereās one person whoās especially thrilled by the news ā her sister, Lauren! Sheās ready to dish out the pregnancy advice after giving birth to her daughter, Baleigh, in 2016. After Porsha confirmed the pregnancy news to People on Sept. 19, we learned that the Real Housewives of Atlanta star wonāt have to go through her trimesters alone. āLauren couldnāt be more thrilled for Porshaās pregnancy and is super excited to become an aunt,ā a source close to Lauren, whoās six years Porshaās junior, EXCLUSIVELY shares with HollywoodLife. Lauren was so thrilled, she even reposted the news to her Instagram the same day and wrote below, āYay!! Issa baby on the way! š¶š½š.ā We particularly loved one hashtag Lauren used: #AuntLo. So cute!
However, the RHOAās star also used a sad hashtag, writing, #lifeaftermiscarriage. Her little sister is referring to the miscarriage Porsha suffered six years ago, but Lauren plans to help her older sister any way she can. āLauren is already the mother to her own adorable little girl, Baleigh, and canāt wait for her daughter to have a cousin to play with,ā our source continues. āSince Lauren has already been through a pregnancy and raising a baby, she plans on giving all her advice and support to Porsha throughout her pregnancy and even once the baby is born,ā our source adds. āLauren canāt wait to share all her tips and tricks, but she already knows what an amazing mother Porsha is going to make.ā
Porsha, who will welcome her first child with boyfriend Dennis McKinley, was a bit more scared than Lauren following news of the pregnancy. āWhen I found out I was pregnant, I was excited [but] I had mixed feelings,ā she told People. āThe other feeling that I had beside excitement was fear. Iāve had a miscarriage before in my past, which Iāve also been open about because I suffer with fibroids and had to have a myomectomy. So just the fear of, āIs the baby going to be okay? Will I make it full term?ā All those questions that you ask if youāve had a miscarriage before.ā
Porsha continued to explain that sheāll be able to wrap her āmind around actually becoming a mommyā once she knows the baby will be āfine.ā Weāre confident Lauren will keep her sister reassured through every step! If you havenāt been watching RHOA through the years, Porsha and future Aunt Lo are two peas in a pod. āLauren and I always had a really good relationship. I mean, weāre six years apart, so I had to give her time to grow up and catch up to me because I was already an adult right there and she was just this little, aggravating teenager,ā Porsha explained in a Bravo clip, posted on Dec. 8, 2017. āBut I could not wait for her to turn 21 because it was like, āOh, now we can hang out.ā So now weāre best friends. But of course, when she was still using me to throw parties in my condo, it was like, āOK, the irritating little sister.'ā
