Kenya Moore feels fantastic by the wind after her divorce from Marc Dali was completed.
“I can exhale. I’m great like the late Whitney Houston. I can exhale,” Moore, 53, shared exclusively We weekly while promoting her new children’s book Brooklyn on the way: Paris on Thursday, November 14. “It’s liberating. I think I finally got my identity back and my freedom, obviously, which I didn’t really care about the freedom part. But now that I really want to date and find someone, it’s been enough time.”
In September 2019, Moore announced that she and Daly, 54, had called it quits after two years of marriage. It wasn’t until June of this year that the couple settled their divorce and Moore was awarded primary custody of the couple’s six-year-old daughter, Brooklyn.

When asked if she didn’t want to date anyone before her divorce was finalized, she answered the former Real Housewives of Atlanta Star said she never expected the divorce proceedings to take so long.

Although Moore admitted that there is “not much” of a co-parenting relationship with Daly, she remains hopeful that things will change in the future.
“I don’t harbor any bad feelings or hard emotions or anything like that,” she said. “But for Brooklyn, I just wish her dad was there.”
Until then, Moore and her daughter are working together on a brand new children’s book titled Brooklyn on the way: Paris.
In the family-friendly book, Brooklyn takes readers on an exciting adventure through the City of Light to celebrate her birthday. With her mother by her side, she explores the wonders of Paris, including the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta has said goodbye to many cast members since its Bravo debut in 2008, but there’s always a chance they could return. For example, original RHOA star NeNe Leakes left the show in season 7 before rejoining the cast in 2018. “It’s been a long process, but we finally got it […]
“Brooklyn is very smart and she can rhyme well, so that’s how she really helped me with the story,” Moore revealed to Us. “It was just great to work with her. And again, she’s a great author. She comes up with great ideas and we get along great.”
