Porsha Williams Reveals She’s Dating a Man and a Woman: "He Is Nice and She Is Nice"
Porsha Williams is changing her approach to romance.
Months after finalizing her divorce from Simon Guobadia, The Real Housewives of Atlanta mom revealed she was dating not one but two new people — a man and a woman. Porsha shared the news during her appearance at CultureCon in Brooklyn, explaining how the mystery guy and gal were different from her previous partners.

“So the people I am talking to now — it’s just two — I’ve narrowed it down to two. And he is nice, and she is nice,” she said during an October 5 panel discussion. “But I really just wanted to make sure these were normal people. And what I talked about with my therapist the other day was, I’m having a hard time opening up because they’re not narcissists. And guess what narcissists do? They love bomb you. They do everything. They’re perfect. They mirror you.”
Porsha said the man and woman weren’t trying to lock down a relationship through insincere gestures or fawning rhetoric. In fact, they were confident enough to “challenge” and “question” her.
“They’re not letting me walk over them,” she continued. "They aren't just doing whatever they need to do to get into the relationship. And so I’m not feeling safe enough to open up yet.”
Porsha said the unfamiliar experience led to a revelation.
“I realized if you want something different, you have to also be different,” she explained. “I have to soften up a bit. I have to not expect a whole lot of elaborate things … I have to expect someone to call me out from time to time.”
Porsha Williams' Relationship History from Kordell Stewart to Simon Guobadia
Porsha’s romantic life has undergone many changes over the past 13 years. When she joined RHOA in Season 5, the Georgia native was married to former NFL quarterback Kordell Stewart. The two divorced in 2013, roughly five years before Porsha confirmed her relationship with Dennis McKinley.
Porsha and Dennis got engaged in 2018 but called it quits after welcoming their first child, daughter Pilar Jhena “PJ” McKinley. Although they got re-engaged at the end of 2019, the parents failed to repair their relationship in light of Dennis’ infidelity.
Fast-forward to the spring of 2021, when Porsha revealed she was engaged to Nigerian-born businessman Simon. The pair tied the knot in 2022 with wedding ceremonies in Nigeria and Atlanta. About 15 months into the marriage, Porsha filed for divorce. She addressed her decision in RHOA Season 16, attributing the split to “a slow progression of issues” involving finances.
“I felt the need to file when I did to protect assets,” she said in the Season 16 premiere.
