Porsha Williams and her boyfriend Dennis McKinley are expecting a baby. The 37-year-old reality star, who first gained fame as a cast member on Real Housewives of Atlanta in 2012, suffered a miscarriage while still married to former NFL player Kordell Stewart.

Blogger The Jasmine Brand first broke the news of Williams’ pregnancy several days ago.

In an interview with PEOPLE, Williams confirmed her pregnancy and explained her fears of losing her current fetus.

“When I found out I was pregnant, I was excited [but] I had mixed feelings. The other feeling that I had beside excitement was fear,” she told PEOPLE in an interview for the newest issue, out Friday.

“I’ve had a miscarriage before in my past, which I’ve also been open about because I suffer with fibroids and had to have a myomectomy. So just the fear of, ‘Is the baby going to be okay? Will I make it full term?’ All those questions that you ask if you’ve had a miscarriage before. Going into the first appointment and being able to see baby and hear baby and know that baby is fine, then I can really wrap my mind around actually becoming a mommy.”
