Porsha Williams is engaged to her boyfriend and soon-to-be first child's father Dennis McKinley

The pregnant Real Housewives of Atlanta star took to Instagram on Monday (October 1) to share the big news, captioning a photo of her showing off her large rock, "I said YES.... 💍🌹🙏🏾." Following news of her engagement, a source told E! News that Dennis popped the question while RHOA cameras were rolling, so fans will be able to see the engagement on the upcoming season of RHOA.

As fans know, the reality star announced that she's expecting her first child with Dennis last month. "❤️I am happy, healthy... and pregnant," she wrote on Instagram. She also opened up to People about finding out she was pregnant, explaining how she had mix emotions initially because she suffered from a miscarriage six years ago, and has dealt with other health issues over the years. "When I found out I was pregnant, I was excited [but] I had mixed feelings. The other feeling that I had beside excitement was fear,” she said. "I’ve had a miscarriage before in my past, which I’ve also been open about because I suffer with fibroids and had to have a myomectomy. So just the fear of, ‘Is the baby going to be okay? Will I make it full term?’ All those questions that you ask if you’ve had a miscarriage before.” She continued, “Going into the first appointment and being able to see baby and hear baby and know that baby is fine, then I can really wrap my mind around actually becoming a mommy." 

Porsha also opened up about sharing her excitement with her then-boyfriend, now-fiance. “The thought of me getting that blessing after praying for it for so long and getting that blessing with someone who is just as excited as me — it’s Dennis’ first child, just like me — and it’s something we’ve both always wanted … It’s like a dream come true,” she gushed.

While Porsha has yet to reveal the gender of her baby, her sister, Lauren, seemed to hint that she's having a girl, after sharing a photo from Porsha's baby shower this weekend. "My 3 girls #wishfulthinking," Lauren captioned a picture of Porsha holding her daughter Bayleigh.
