Ed Hartwell, who is estranged from his with Keshia Knight Pulliam, didn’t know that she had given birth to a little girl until his lawyer told him.
“He didn’t get a call or anything [from Knight Pulliam or her family],” said Page Six sources. “Ed basically found out at the same time as the rest of the world.” Apparently, he was only told about Ella Grace’s arrival after she was “home from the hospital.”
On Monday, Pulliam announced the news to the world with a post on Instagram that said “Ella Grace has arrived.” She did mention her brother in the post, but there was no mention of Hartwell at all.
The two stars are currently going through a messy separation, and Hartwell still doesn’t believe that Ella Grace is his child. When the divorce proceedings began, he asked for a paternity test because of his doubts about her parentage, though both Hartwell and Pulliam have denied being unfaithful to the other.
The two of them dated for just four months prior to their marriage, and Hartwell previously told Page Six that they “moved too fast” and that their “lives and wants [were] headed two different directions,” as to why the two of them were on the outs.
