Kenya Moore & Marc Daly Split After 2 Years But Say Their Co-Parenting Game Is Strong
The end of a marriage doesn't always mean the end of a relationship, and this is especially true when children are involved. Just ask Kenya Moore and Marc Daly, who in light of their recent divorce, say that they are determined to keep their co-parenting game strong.
Just last week couple, who married in 2017, appeared on The Tamron Hall Show only days before announcing the news of their divorce, where they discussed their very emotional experience with IVF and Kenya described Marc as the love of her life. While there seemed to be no sign of trouble in paradise, the couple broke the news of their split in separate statements to People on Thursday. Kenya's statement read:
"It is with profound sadness that I regret to inform my fans that I am divorcing my husband, Marc Daly. Due to recent and ongoing circumstances, I can no longer continue in the marriage. My sole concern and focus is and will always be my daughter, Brooklyn, my miracle baby. She was made in love and true commitment. I ask for our privacy to be respected moving forward."
Marc echoed this same sentiment and explained that although their daughter will remain their number one priority, continuing their marriage is not in her best interest. Although these two have decided to go their separate ways, Marc also noted that no matter what, when it comes to his family, no slander will be tolerated.
"I have come to the difficult decision to separate from Kenya at this time. Our daughter has two parents that love her very much and in her best interests, this situation should remain as private as possible. I cherish our family's good times together and will continue to co-parent in a loving way. Rumors, innuendo or false accusations only serve to hurt our family and will be addressed through counsel as the law permits. Please respect our privacy during this challenging period."
The couple married a little less than a year after they started dating, and both agreed that their connection was instantaneous. Although critics thought she was moving too fast, to Kenya, their destiny couldn't come soon enough. After their first date, the reality star said:
"I probably would have married him in 30 days, the feeling was that strong. But we wanted to wait and get to know each other and make sure it wasn't an infatuation. We needed to make sure it was actually real."
Throughout the short period of time that the couple spent together, they created a lifetime of memories, one of which included an emotional experience with in vitro fertilization. On The Tamron Hall Show, Marc said that although the experience was difficult, neither one of them would trade it for the world. Marc explained:
The Tamron Hall Show
"It's incredibly challenging because the success rate for these treatments are very low. So there's a lot of disappointment of expectations. You also have to be prepared for disappointment. So just being there, being supportive, being hopeful, and being positive and just being behind her was what it's all about."
Breakups don't always have to be bitter, and hopefully, the split between these two can be an amicable one. We're sending Kenya and Marc love and light during this difficult time!

It Girl In Motion: Paige Shari Addison Shows Us Why She's The Hostess With The Mostess
Paige Shari Addison is the epitome of an ItGirl, which is why she is one of 100 ladies on xoNecole's inaugural ItGirl 100 list in partnership with Hyundai. Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, Paige started her journey as a host in high school by hosting parties. Since then, she has made a career in hosting, from parties to big-name events, and she launched Strictly RNB, a platform for new artists and R&B lovers. Paige reflects on her creative path in the limited video series "ItGirl in Motion."
“My first curated event at Criminal Records was incredible. It was all for up-and-coming artists,” she says. “I needed a platform for us as a collective to be able to give ourselves the platform instead of asking for it, instead of looking for it. I was like, I want to make sure I let people get this experience that I would give as a performer but enjoy the experience with them. It was a dream come true.”
The Atlanta native also has her own line of acai bowls called Soulfull Bowls. She started it during the pandemic after events and parties shut down. But it was her love for eating acai bowls and the reactions others had to them that made her want to make it her next business move. Being open to creating new ventures in the midst of uncertainty is a bold move and one of the reasons why Paige has the “it” factor.
“Being an ItGirl means you’re just authentic. There’s an air to us. We have confidence that exudes from the way we speak, the way we put our lip gloss on, the way we walk, the way we talk. I show up as myself everytime I walk into a room. I’m hospitable, I make sure everybody’s good,” she says.
