During part 1 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s season 17 reunion, the 38-year-old restaurateur and founder of Slutty Vegan announced that she was pregnant for the fourth time.
“Hi, Pinky,” host and executive producer Andy Cohen said. “You look amazing! I know that you are vegan, but you had quite the meaty season.”

Agreeing, Cole said her Bravo debut “felt good,” but that there was one thing she could do without moving forward.
“I don’t ever want to hear the ‘B’ word again,” she said. “The only ‘B’ word I want to talk about is the fact that I’m having a baby.”
Her revelation was met with joyous responses from her castmates Porsha Williams, Phaedra Parks, Drew Sidora, Shamea Morton Mwangi, Angela Oakley, Kelli Ferrell and K. Michelle.
“I don’t want no problems, okay?” Cole playfully told the ladies before telling Cohen her mother “was mad as f--k” when she found out about the pregnancy as her costars laughed.
A season 17 flashback showed Cole’s husband, entrepreneur Derrick Hayes, telling Cole’s mother that the reality star said she wanted “to have another one.”
“Huh? Hell to the no,” Cole’s mother shot back.

Cole shared that she and Hayes’ fourth child is due in December, and may just have a Bravo-inspired name.
A rep for the couple previously confirmed to PEOPLE that she and Hayes, who were already parents to daughter D Ella and son Derrick Hayes Jr., welcomed their third child, a son named David Asher Hayes, on Dec. 12, 2023.
They nicknamed him Dash.

“For the last two weeks, every time I looked at my phone, I kept seeing triple digits,” Cole told PEOPLE. “And then Dash was born, so it was divine. I can’t believe that I am a mom of 3 under 3 all while being a wife and entrepreneur.”
“It’s not easy, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. My children make me better and [I] want to work hard to provide them the life I never had,” she added.

At the time, Hayes, who has two daughters from previous relationships, told PEOPLE, “I used to think I couldn’t make anything but girls, but now I have two sons that I will raise to be kings.”
“Having sons made me want to go harder in life to teach them how to be REAL men. When I looked into my new son David’s eyes, I promised him that I will be the best father I can be for him and his siblings. I am confident my sons will be the best version of me,” he said.
