WhenSonja Morganmade her debut on season 3 of theReal Housewives of New York Cityin 2010, she let viewers of the Bravo reality series inside her Upper East Side townhouse but kept her young daughter,Quincy Adams Morgan, away from the cameras.
Though Quincy, 22, waited until she was a college student in Pennsylvania to make her social media public and allow a glimpse into her life, Sonja occasionally spoke publicly of her daughter on the show and with the media.
In a 2016 interview withBustle, Sonja shared how she was proud of her then-15-year-old daughter as she headed off to boarding school at The Taft School.
“I’m very close to my daughter and she’s a very high achiever," she told the outlet. “I’m very proud of her, I worry, and I support her 100 percent, because she achieves so well.”
She also shed some light on her daughter’s interests at the time, adding, “She’s very much impressed and interested now with the fashion, the jewelry and the swimwear. That has her attention now. She’s very smart, so she’s interested in the aspects of the marketing of that."
When Quincy turned 21 in 2021, Sonja called her daughter “my dearest, light of my life, center of my universe” in an Instagram tribute.

Quincy was born in October 2000 in New York City. Sonja said in a 2020 interview withReality Blurbthat Quincy was born in the Upper East Side townhouse that sheput back on the market for $8.75 millionin July 2022 after attempting to sell the property for almost a decade.
Quincy’s father is John Adams Morgan
Sonja was married toJohn Adams Morganfrom 1998 to 2006. In a 2021 episode ofRHONY,she felt conflicted about her divorcefrom the American financier, the heir to J.P. Morgan.
“I lost my best friend and a wonderful marriage,” Sonja said in the episode. “Is he dead? No. But for all intents and purposes, for me, he’s gone. I had to make a choice for my daughter and I feel so bad. Maybe I should have stayed with him and made sure she had everything she needed and got more time with me.”
Sonja has made efforts to ensure her daughter never felt like she had to choose between her two parents — and keeping Quincy off ofRHONYwas part of that decision-making process.
“I married into a very important American family and I honor the responsibility of raising my daughter into the legacy she was born into,” Sonja toldReality Blurb.

Sonja has said that Quincy’s aptitude for numbers comes from her father’s side.
“The finance side, she definitely got from [her father]. She is a math wizard. She got that from the J.P. Morgan side," Sonja said in aninterviewwith Bravo in 2019. “But she got the humility from the John Adams side, you know, from John Adams, John Quincy Adams, and I like to think my side of the family has humility and religion.”
Quincy celebrated her 21st birthday with a photo shoot
Quincy wore a pink cowl-neck sparkly minidress and ate a cupcake for her 21st birthday photo shoot with photographer Andrew Werner.
“@andrewwerner had a vision and a pink back drop and he created this shoot for my 21 💝 thank you 💝,” shewrote.
She doesn’t appear onRHONY
“I knew I wanted a corporate career, and it wasn’t my thing,” Quincy said in an interview with S’More Date onInstagram. “I’m not a public speaker. I’m not somebody who likes attention, except in my personal life.”
However, Quincy has supported her mother’s career on the show, occasionally poking fun at some of her iconic moments.
For Mother’s Day in 2020, Quincyreenacted some stills from the showin a silly post. “It had to be done. Happy Mother’s Day to an ICON. I love you very much @sonjatmorgan,” she wrote.
