Kenya Moore and husband Marc Daly have broken up once again.
In a statement obtained by The Root on Saturday, Daly confirmed that he and the star of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” have ended their marriage.
Despite this split, the two will continue to co-parent their 2-year-old daughter Brooklyn Doris.
“After recently attending mediation, Kenya and I have agreed to end our marriage. I will always have great care for her and look forward to amicably continuing to co-parent our daughter Brooklyn with an abundance of love and wisdom,” he wrote.
“As always, in addition to perpetual self-improvement, my primary focus will continue to be helping the underserved and people of color in Brooklyn to recover from the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic,” he continued.
“This focus will take shape through using my restaurant as a ‘Community Hub’ where positive and diverse perspectives on important topics such as economic empowerment, social activism and political engagement can be highlighted in a safe and productive forum.”
The couple previously split in September 2019 after tying the knot on a beach in St. Lucia on June 10, 2017.
“It is with profound sadness that I regret to inform my fans that I am divorcing my husband Marc Daly,” Moore told People at the time. “Due to recent and ongoing circumstances, I can no longer continue in the marriage. My sole concern and focus is and will always be my daughter, Brooklyn, my miracle baby. She was made in love and true commitment. I ask for our privacy to be respected moving forward.”
Daly released his own statement, asking the media to “please respect our privacy during this challenging period.”
After this announcement, however, it appeared that Moore and Daly were trying to reconcile.
Moore told Andy Cohen last February, “We’re in a good place right now. We’re trying to figure it out now.”
Months later, in a June interview with Hearst Black Culture, Kenya said she and Daly were “working on our relationship.”
“We have been quarantined apart, so that has been difficult in and of itself. But the goal prior to being quarantined is definitely working on our relationship,” she said during a virtual chat.
“I still have love for Marc, and just knowing that if there is a chance, and for him to take our family seriously, and our issues collectively seriously, I would want to do all that for the sake of our family and exhaust all of those resources before I would say I’m done,” Moore added.
