‘Cosby Show’ star Keshia Knight Pulliam welcomes baby No. 2 after miscarriage
Keshia Knight Pulliam’s rainbow baby has arrived.
The “Cosby Show” alum has given birth to her and husband Brad James’ first child together, she announced on Instagram Sunday, which also happened to be her 44th birthday.
“With this little one we are complete… Happy Birthday to me!!!” the actress captioned a video of her and James, 41, in the hospital. “What an eventful birthday week…”
She did not reveal the baby’s name or date of birth.
Knight Pulliam shared her pregnancy news with her Instagram followers in December 2022.
She revealed in March that her second child was a boy.
The actress, who also shares daughter Ella, 6, with ex-husband Edgerton “Ed” Hartwell, later shared her fertility journey — which included freezing her eggs and suffering a miscarriage — on the “Tamron Hall Show.”
Knight Pulliam and James, 41, gushed about how “good” it felt to share their growing family.
“Not that I’ve been trying to hide it, but when you’ve had a miscarriage, when you’ve gone through this journey, you want to just enjoy this moment and want to make sure that everything is OK,” she explained during the talk show appearance.
As for Ella’s thoughts on her big sister status, the couple said she was “so excited” and “happy,” often asking them whether her sibling would “stay … this time” after the pregnancy loss.
Ella was born in January 2017, one year before Knight Pulliam and Hartwell, 44, finalized their divorce. The exes had split prior to her arrival.
Knight Pulliam alleged in 2016 divorce docs that Hartwell had been “plotting to harm and obstruct [her] pregnancy” by engaging in “certain underhanded and unusual conduct” that could cause a miscarriage.
The Emmy nominee moved on with James in 2019, and the “Pride & Prejudice: Atlanta” co-stars got engaged in December of the following year.
