After years of emotional strain, public scrutiny, and courtroom uncertainty, Kenya Moore has finally reached a turning point. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star revealed that a judge has officially granted her full primary custody of her daughter, Brooklyn — a ruling that brings long-awaited stability to both mother and child.
In addition to awarding custody, the court ordered Brooklyn’s father, Marc Daly, to pay child support. For Kenya, the decision marks the end of a deeply difficult chapter and the beginning of a calmer, more grounded future centered on peace and parenting.
“This is what Brooklyn deserves,” Kenya shared, reflecting on the ruling. “Consistency. Safety. Love.”
According to Kenya, the legal outcome reflects the reality she has been living for years. She revealed that she has had Brooklyn in her care 100% of the time, noting that Marc has only spent time alone with their daughter twice — despite Brooklyn now being six years old. The judge’s decision, therefore, did not disrupt Brooklyn’s life but rather formalized the structure that has long been in place.
For fans who have followed Kenya’s journey, the ruling feels both validating and bittersweet. Kenya’s struggles with Marc Daly — from their turbulent marriage to a prolonged and often painful custody dispute — have unfolded largely in the public eye. Throughout it all, Kenya has repeatedly emphasized one thing: her unwavering commitment to her daughter.
“Everything I’ve done has been for Brooklyn,” she has said time and again. “She’s my priority. Always.”
The custody battle was not just a legal fight but an emotional one. Kenya has spoken openly about the toll it took on her mental health, especially navigating motherhood under constant scrutiny while advocating for her child’s well-being. The lack of consistent involvement from Marc only deepened the challenge, forcing Kenya to shoulder the full weight of parenting alone.
The court’s ruling brings clarity — and relief. By granting full primary custody, the judge ensured that decisions about Brooklyn’s upbringing, schooling, and daily life will remain consistent and stable. The child support order further acknowledges Kenya’s role as Brooklyn’s sole caregiver and helps provide financial security for their future.
Sources close to Kenya say the moment was deeply emotional. “This wasn’t about winning,” one insider shared. “It was about protecting Brooklyn and finally being able to breathe.”
Fans and fellow Bravo stars quickly rallied around Kenya, offering messages of support and congratulations. Many praised her resilience and strength, noting how she continued to show up for her daughter despite personal setbacks and public criticism.
Now, with the legal battle behind her, Kenya is focused on healing and moving forward. Those close to her say she’s embracing a new chapter defined by calm, intention, and joy — something she’s fought hard to achieve. While her professional future remains bright, her personal priorities are clear.
“Peace is priceless,” Kenya has said. “And I’m choosing it — for me and for my daughter.”
The ruling doesn’t erase the pain of the past, but it does offer closure. More importantly, it gives Brooklyn what every child deserves: stability, love, and a parent fully present in her life.
As Kenya Moore steps into this next phase, one thing is undeniable — after years of uncertainty, she and Brooklyn finally have the solid ground beneath their feet that they’ve been waiting for.
