Kenya Moore's biography
This beautiful star resulted from a teenage pregnancy, born to Patricia Moore and Ronald Grant in Detroit, Michigan. Sadly, Kenya Moore's mother, 16 at the time, abandoned her baby after just three days of motherhood. Fortunately for Kenya, her grandmother, Doris Grant, stepped in to raise her.
After graduating from Cass Technical High School, she went on to study psychology and communication at Wayne State University.
At 14 years old, she started her modelling career with the Ebony Fashion Fair cosmetic collection. In 1992 she made the cover of 'Ebony Man,' and the following year, after being declared Miss Michigan, she made history as the second African-American woman to win the title of Miss USA. The stunning model made it to the top 6 of Miss Universe before leaping acting.

The Daly Family
On 10 June 2017, our favourite TV personality married the restaurateur, Marc Daly, at a ceremony held in the Caribbeans. In 2018, the couple started their family through in-vitro fertilisation with the birth of their daughter, Brooklyn Doris Daly.
Kenya Moore's age at the time was 47 years old, and the pregnancy was not easy, as preeclampsia symptoms caused complications. Brooklyn was expected to arrive in late December but made a grand entrance via an emergency cesarean on 4 November 2018.
The origin of Kenya Moore's name for their baby is significant because Brooklyn was where she met Marc; and Doris, after her late granny.
Did Kenya Moore's husband leave her?
Sadly, in September 2019, this couple announced that they were no longer an item, and, after several attempts to rekindle their romance, divorce procedures began in May 2021. Moore stated that she wants full custody of their daughter, while Marc is willing to share custody but wants Kenya to pay for his legal fees.
