Slutty Vegan’s Pinky Cole Welcomes Baby Girl!

Pinky Cole — the owner of the famous Slutty Vegan restaurant brand — has just welcomed “a full-time vegan baby”!

On Monday, People reported that the restaurateur and partner Derrick Hayes recently welcomed a baby girl named D Ella Hayes! While this is Pinky’s first child, Derrick is dad to two daughters from a previous relationship.

With regard to the tot’s unique name, Pinky said she and Derrick are “excited” about their daughter’s moniker, as “she is the only person we’ve ever heard of that has only one letter in her first name.”

“Derrick thought he could only make girls, so when we found out we were having a girl, we decided to make her a girl junior,” the entrepreneur said. “[She’s] such a special baby with a simple but unique name.”

Noting that “life as a new mom is amazing,” the owner of the plant-based burger chain says her daughter is “such a calm baby,” as well as “smart, funny and a joy to be around.”

“Every day we learn something new about her and it brings us closer together,” she says.

Amid growing her vegan comfort food empire, Pinky is “fortunate” for her mother and Derrick’s mother, who have been “constant support in our household” following D’s birth.

“We are both so very busy growing our food empires, we wouldn’t be able to do what we love without our village. ”

Like her mother, little D is also “definitely a full-time vegan baby” — which Pinky hopes will rub off on Derrick!

“Although Derrick is not vegan, he is very supportive of my lifestyle and allowed me to make the decision on the type of food our daughter consumes. I’m so happy that it wasn’t a struggle,” she said before adding, “Next step, turning Derrick vegan.”

Last season, Pinky appeared on our show and gave solid advice to budding entrepreneurs!

“First of all, if you are an entrepreneur, you gotta get unstuck,” Pinky replied when asked what should aspiring business owners do if they find themselves “stuck” in their career.

“The beauty of being an entrepreneur is that you are willing to take a risk and it starts with your mindset. You gotta change your mind, you have to have this unwavering belief in yourself that you can conquer anything that you want to conquer in this life.”
