This week we learned that during the six-year time jump Michonne gave birth to her child with Rick (named Rick Jr, or RJ). “When (showrunner) Angela (Kang) told me, firstly I was stunned,” Michonne actress Danai Gurira revealed during a Talking Dead segment (which you can see below). “I never expected that to be where we’d go, but I thought it was very beautiful about the idea that (Rick) left her with her son. It’s heartbreaking, but its beautiful. There’s a new little Grimes, you know?”

Some fans had been pining for a “Richonne baby” since their relationship took off in Season 6, but the desire especially ramped up this season when Rick and Michonne openly discussed building a future. Since fans got their wish we decided to compile the best tweets reacting to the reveal.


Why is everyone talking about this Richonne baby like it’s real? It’s confirmed? Have my dreams actually come true? pic.twitter.com/fr4jaRPfIK

That face you make when you realise Maggie telling Michonne (before confronting Negan); “…If you had a child to raise alone ….” was foreshadowing ??? pic.twitter.com/v1RqtWhns4

As you can tell, fans were mildly pleased about the news. Showrunner Angela Kang explained the decision to INSIDER’s Kirsten Acuna. “It’s like a symbol of people’s hopefulness that maybe things are going to be better now,” Kang said. “To see, over the years, what (Michonne and Rick have) achieved, what they’ve survived, and feel like they can have a child, and continue to keep the human species going just seems like something that was very right for where they were at, at this point in the story.”

Additionally, the scene between Michonne and RJ mirrored her dream sequence with her son Andre from Season 4 (see below). See more of Rick and Michonne’s kid by tuning into the final two episodes of the year Sundays at 9, and then the back half of the season when it returns in February.

Anyone else notice the parallel between Michonne's scene with RJ this week and her one with Andre in Season 4? ❤️ #TheWalkingDead pic.twitter.com/G4tiPrOCTz
