Keshia Knight Pulliam Reveals Daughter Ella Grace Hartwell

Ella Grace Hartwell, Keshia Knight Pulliam's daughter, was born in January 2017. The former Cosby Show star decided to let everyone see her child for the first time as the baby gets close to her second birthday.

The actress posted a picture of Ella on Wednesday. We think the child looks just like her mother. Look at the eyes:

Ella is Pulliam's daughter from her marriage to Ed Hartwell, a retired NFL player who was her ex-husband. They got married on January 1, 2016, but in July of that year, he asked for a divorce. Pulliam said that he cheated on her, and Ed said that her wanting to have a child soon after they got married hurt their relationship. He actually wanted a DNA test when she told him she was pregnant. The test would soon show that he was, in fact, Ella's father.

After fighting over child support payments and custody, they finally got a divorce in April 2018. Now, everything is settled and in a good place. Pulliam got primary custody of Ella and will pay $3,007 a month in child support. They also agreed to put a hyphen between the two parts of the child's name, but the full name hasn't been revealed yet.

She has said, "I love being a parent." In a message for Ella's first birthday, she said, "Who knew love like this existed... When I saw you, my heart grew bigger. Thank you for picking me to be your mommy!"

If you follow Pulliam, you already know that this isn't the first time she's posted a photo of Ella on Instagram. But in all the other pictures, you rarely saw her face in the present day. Instead, you saw the baby's feet or her head when she was being fed. You can see the pictures she's posted of baby Ella before she got her face, by clicking on the next page.
