KESHIA AND MOTHERHOOD

In the real world, Keshia is a mother to her three-year-old daughter, Ella Grace Hartwell. Ella was the product of Keshia’s short-lived marriage to retired NFL player, Ed Hartwell. The pair separated due to allegations of cheating. Both sides claimed the other cheated.

Keshia won a bitter custody case against Ed who one doubted Ella’s paternity. She was awarded full custody of Ella in spite of Ed’s petitions to grant him joint custody.

Since being a single mother to Ella, Keshia has been all about taking care of her and providing her with her happiness. From time to time, the actress would call out trolls who try to make negative comments about her child.

One instance was when a commenter on her post demanded that she fix Ella’s hair. Keshia lashed out by telling the commenter that her daughter was “off limits.” She also defended her daughter’s hair by saying it was beautiful and natural and the way she wanted it.
