Porsha Williams and fiancé Dennis McKinley welcomed their first baby Pilar Jhena McKinley today, according to an exclusive given to People magazine.

(People is the basic go-to place for celebrities to offer up baby news.)

Pilar was born at 1:36 p.m., coming in at 6 lbs, 15 oz. and 20 inches long. (This begs the question: why is this particular type of information always provided when a baby arrives. Who started this?)

This is the first child for the 37-year-old reality star and “Dish Nation” host.

Porsha’s pregnancy has been featured prominently on the current season of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” which generally airs three to five months after the fact. The reunion episode, taped earlier this month at the Biltmore in Midtown, will feature a very pregnant Porsha. That three-part reunion will begin airing Sunday, March 31.
