The Cosby Show alum, 37, previously revealed that Ella’s middle name was inspired by her split from her ex-husband, Ed Hartwell. (The football player filed for divorce in July, just one week after they announced they were expecting.) “When I tell you through all of this the grace of God has been with us and has covered us and protected us — she’s been my saving grace to get through it,” Pulliam explained on her Play.it podcast, “Kandidly Keshia,” on August 19.

During a July podcast, the Atlanta-based actress, who has her own line of kitchen seasonings, opened up about her cravings. “I am probably one of the biggest carnivores known to man, like I love a steak. I love chicken, I love pork chops, I promise I will eat it all,” she said. “My baby, she is a vegetarian. She likes fruit, vegetables, pasta and bread. I am just really grateful that she has gotten out of the space where all she wants to eat is peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and pasta. Because I felt like an oompa loompa!”

Pulliam played Rudy Huxtable on The Cosby Show from 1984 to 1992.
