‘Riverdale’ Star Vanessa Morgan Welcomes Her Second Baby, Her first with James Karnik, Her Boyfriend

Vanessa Morgan and her partner James Karnik had their first child together, making her a mother of two now.

On Thursday, August 1, Karnik, 33, was shown leaving the maternity unit with their infant in a TikTok video that left Morgan, 32, writing, “The hot dad walk out of the hospital did not disappoint.” “This is totally your look, Connie Baby,” Belly from The Summer I Turned Pretty was heard saying in a film while Mary J. Blige’s “Family Affair” played in the background.

She wrote, “Okay, hit me up again,” as the post’s caption.

Karnik wrote, “Hahaha got me feeling myself,” in response to Morgan in the comments area. Morgan wrote back, “Zadddddyyy.”

The former cast member of Riverdale, together with her ex-husband Michael Kopech, brought their son River into the world in January 2021.

Up to a short time before her daughter was born, Morgan concealed the fact that she was pregnant again. She revealed on Instagram on July 6 that she was “so in love with this man, our family of 4 coming this month,” flaunting her nude baby belly in a string of maternity pictures with the basketball player. “A surprise! I’m grateful, God.

Karnik, on the other side, posted a picture of himself picking Morgan up off the ground and putting his hand on her stomach. He confirmed the gender of the couple’s child on Instagram by writing, “Holdin BOTH my girls at the same time.”

With further pregnant photos, Morgan teased her impending birthday in the text that accompanied her first upload. She exclaimed, “My GIRL can’t believe you’re gonna be here any day now.”

Every day, River practically asks, “Is my baby sister arriving today? Being your big brother makes him very happy. Your Daddy, Riv, and I are all very excited to meet you!

In January 2020, Morgan married Kopech, 28, before ending her relationship with Karnik. That July, she made her first pregnancy announcement on social media without mentioning Kopech.

Subsequently, it was revealed that he had filed for divorce not long before her pregnancy became known. (Since then, Kopech has wed Morgan Eudy, welcoming a daughter named Clover and a son named Vander.)

Morgan initially discussed the divorce in public in March. Right now, it hurts so much. She remarked on the “Broad Ideas” podcast, “It’s almost like we idolize what our dream reality [was] from when we were kids.” “You lament the unrealized future. You lament the illusion you conjured up, and it wasn’t the reality that best suited me.

She went on, “God delivered me. Only now did I see the wider picture. You endure that agony for two years. I endured agony for two years.

After her divorce, Morgan finally accepted her new normal, even if at first she found it difficult to adjust.

“That embarrassment is a significant part of it. Not wanting to acknowledge that your family is broken,” she said. When you get married, you almost feel as though you’re disappointed to inform people that your marriage didn’t work out and that you would now have to raise your children alone. The journey itself, not the outcome, is what I believe makes life so beautiful.
