Revealing the name was inspired by the recent traumatic developments in her life on her podcast, Kandidly Keshia, yesterday, the 37-year-old mum-to-be said,

“I was back and forth on if I wanted to share this or not, but I decided that I would because it is so hard for me to keep it in. I’m so excited about her. Her name is … Ella Grace.

When I tell you through all of this the grace of God has so been with us and has covered us and protected us — she’s been my saving grace to get through it. It’s knowing that it’s not about me. Knowing that on days when I want to curl up in the bed, pull the covers over my head and cry until my eyes fall out, that is not an option, because she feels everything I feel, and right now, it is bigger than me — it’s about her. It is about her being OK.”

“She wanted a baby really fast, and what I was trying to explain to her was that — from my beliefs, from seeing other successful people — that when you first get married, especially since we didn’t have a long courtship, that we should actually focus on each other and not just have a baby. That’s something she really did want to do.”

Pulliam reportedly alleged in court documents subsequently that Hartwell, was plotting to ‘obstruct’ her pregnancy, and had been mentally and emotionally abusive. He however denied the allegations.
