'BLESSED'

NBC News Anchor Welcomes Second Child With Husband

The couple also shares a 3-year-old daughter named Lana.

NBC News Daily co-anchor Morgan Radford welcomed her second child on Wednesday with her husband, David Williams. “My birth was exceptional,” Radford told People. The news anchor shared that she was surrounded by family in Atlanta when she gave birth to her baby girl, Marcelena Adelola “Lola” Radford William. The couple named their daughter, Marcelena, after a Spanish Jewish ancestor on her father’s side of the family. “Amazingly, Marcelena was also born on Cuban Independence Day from Spain,” Radford noted about their shared May 20 birthdate. Her daughter’s middle name means “the crown brings honor and wealth” in Yoruba, the language her husband’s Nigerian father speaks. The couple also shares a 3-year-old daughter named Lana. “I am feeling better than ever! My family is so thrilled to have little Lola in our lives —none more so than her 3-year-old big sister Lana,” Radford said, adding, “This day is a core memory that will be etched into my brain — and heart — forever. I feel overwhelmingly blessed.”
