Keshia Knight-Pulliam Finally Shares The First Photo Of Her Daughter With Ex Husband Ed Hartwell

Something adorable in spite of a surrounding mess?

We’ll take it.

Keshia Knight-Pulliam has shared a photo of Ella Grace. In it, the former child star can be seen gazing adoringly at her nearly two-year-old daughter. A caption simply read, “Love”.

Keshia gave birth to Ella Grace Hartwell in January 2017. Since then, the public has only been given peeks at little Ella.

After a completely contentious custody battle with her ex, Ed Hartwell, the former Cosby Show star made the decision not to showcase much of her baby’s face online.

We are thrilled that she changed her mind though. The actress shared an image of Ella Grace on Wednesday, and she’s arguably her mother’s twin.

#Love ❤️

How cute is Ella, huh?!

Though we will admit that we really hope that things are much calmer between Keshia and Ed now. Because, uhhh, it’s been a really crazy road thus far. Whew.

Her divorce (on grounds of adultery and cruel treatment) with the ex-NFL player was reportedly finalized by a judge in May. Keshia was awarded primary custody of Ella, while Ed was given visitation with the child. It seems that the 39-year-old actress, who has previously claimed her former flame was not financially supporting their daughter, now receives $3,000 a month in child support.

Ed filed for divorce back in 2016 a week after Keshia had announced she was pregnant with her first child. He even accused her of stepping out on him and requested a paternity test.

Hm.

"I have never cheated on him during my marriage. This is his daughter,” Keshia then told ET. And the paternity question was eventually settled once it was determined that Ed is, in fact, the father of Ella Grace.

Oh, but Keshia says he fooled around on her, with his ex-fiance, Tonya Carroll, throughout his six-month marriage to Keshia.

"When earlier in my marriage I was faced with this, I was ready to leave. I had divorce papers ready. I presented them to him,” Keshia previously stated. “He begged He said: ‘Please, I want my family,’ he said all the right things. Once I was pregnant I decided to give him another chance."

According to TMZ, legal documents reveal that Ed confessed during the court proceedings that he lives with his mistress, Tonya Carroll, who is pregnant with his child.

However, Ed has declared that his relationship with Keshia fell apart due to jealousy, fights about starting a family and suspicions about infidelity on both sides.
