What Is RHONY Alum Eboni K. Williams Doing Today?

Eboni K. Williams appeared on The Real Housewives of New York for one season as the first Black member of the cast in 2020. When the show rebooted for season 14, Eboni and the other Housewives were replaced, but the lawyer and television personality has remained in the public eye personally and professionally.




Since RHONY, Eboni has embraced many titles. She’s made numerous appearances on network television, hosts Equal Justice with Judge Eboni K. Williams, and penned her second book, Bet On Black: The Good News About Being Black In American Today. Her first book, Pretty Powerful: Appearance, Substance, and Success was published in 2017.

Eboni has also taken on what may be her proudest role: single mother. Eboni has been very vocal about becoming a mother and the journey she took to make it happen. In addition to finding a sense of community among other single mothers, here’s how Eboni has been spending her time since the RHONY.

Eboni K. Williams’ Time On The Real Housewives of New York Was Not Without Challenges

When Eboni K. Williams joined The Real Housewives of New York, she was excited to be the first Black cast member on the show. Eboni said in a statement:


“I’m excited to join this legendary franchise as the first Black housewife…. Can’t wait to share a slice of life in this city that hasn’t been seen before. Anyone who’s aware of my work knows I don’t hold back. I’m going to keep it just as real here as I do everywhere else.”

Eboni didn’t hold back on RHONY, but found working with her fellow cast mates difficult. Eboni said in February 2023 that she felt as though she was outside of the already-established friendships and that only Sonja Morgan was willing to embrace her presence.Eboni wrote in Newsweek:

“I appreciated her abundance mindset which allowed her to feel there was enough space—i.e. camera time—to center something other than whiteness.”

Eboni was proud to have been on the RHONY but found the same resistance to her inclusion was true during talks of staying after one season. Once again, it was only Sonja who “was willing to come to the table and negotiate a future” that involved Eboni. That said, with the recasting for season 14, neither Eboni nor Sonja were included.

After her fiancé, billionaire Steven Glenn, “chose to quarantine in New Jersey with his semi-adult children” during the pandemic, she realized she “wasn’t number one” and needed to move on. She continued,

“He’s a lovely man, just wasn’t for me. He’s older. He’d been there, done that. Didn’t really want a new baby and all that stuff. I want that stuff.”

She broke it off with Glenn and pursued building a family on her own.

Eboni K. Williams Gave Birth To Her Daughter In August 2024

Eboni K. Williams froze embryos when she was 34 years old. After her engagement ended, she decided it was time to use them, but learned only one out of the ten was viable. After transferring the embryo in November 2023, Eboni became pregnant with her daughter.


When her doctor asked her if she and her fiancé were still together, she made it clear:

“I am doing this thing solo… This is about me, not he.”

As the child of a single mother, Eboni pursued single motherhood journey by choice and, “as a very proud and conscious Black woman, it was very important to pursue a sperm donor who shared my cultural and racial identity.” Eboni found a donor who she has a lot of information on and is comfortable with the choice. In fact, she learned that the sperm donor in question had already “fathered three brothers and three sisters through his donation.”
