Fresh off of her fairy tale wedding to actor Brad James, Keshia Knight Pulliam is getting back to business with her fabulous career in television. However, her latest venture ended up hitting close to home. The Tyler Perry’s House of Payne star was originally narrating OWN’s upcoming documentaryEggs Over Easy which is about women choosing to freeze their eggs.


Little did she know that she would also end up speaking about her decision to freeze her eggs. In a promo clip released on Dec. 15, Keshia opened up about what started her on the journey.

“When this whole documentary started, I just came on to narrate. I never in a million years thought I would also be active in front of the camera part of this documentary,” she said. “I decided to freeze my eggs because I’m 41. I know I want another baby but I also know the time isn’t now.”

The former child star had her daughter Ella Hartwell at 38 years old when she was married to former NFL player Ed Hartwell, but they ended up divorcing in 2016. Keshia admitted that she thought she would “have plenty of time” to have another baby, but the divorce changed things.

“Not to say it was wrong, but sometimes life throws you curveballs and you could have your perfect forever planned out but you have to embrace because what I have learned is my Plan B has always been God’s Plan A,” she said.

Keshia, who serves as an executive producer on the documentary, went on to marry Brad in late September 2021 after two years of dating. Her A House Divided acting husband doesn’t have kids of his own so Keshia freezing her eggs will give them an opportunity to have their first child together.

The Eggs Over Easy doc is a part of Oprah Winfrey’s health initiative called Own Your Health which focuses on Black women’s experience with infertility, IVF, miscarriages, and other health-related issues that they face.

Eggs Over Easy premieres on January 4, 2022.

As Black women, our hair is our crowning glory - whether we paid for it or not. We take pride in how we wear and take care of our hair. As with everything, hair care and hair styling have evolved over the years. Long gone are the days of Blue Magic (although I hear it’s making a comeback).

Now, we have a plethora of creams, oils, conditioners, shampoos, and stylists to choose from. Beyond wearing our natural curls, we have a range of options, from wigs and sew-ins to tape-ins, I-tips, and K-tips. So much choice! But you know what they say about too much of a good thing...

12 Ways To Create The Ultimate Valentine's Day Sexcation

As a marriage life coach, something that my clients know will cause me to roll my eyes all the way back into my head is when they tell me that it’s been a while since they’ve had sex — and it’s all because they don’t have time. Umm, studies say that most people prefer for the literal act of sex (you know, intercourse) to last somewhere between 7-13 minutes, and if you can’t find the time to make that happen a couple of times a week? Yeah, I’ve got questions. Lots and lots of ‘em too.
