RHOA’s Porsha Williams confirms engagement to co-star Falynn Guobadia’s estranged husband Simon

Porsha Williams shocked fans as she confirmed that she is engaged to the estranged husband of Real Housewives Of Atlanta co-star Falynn Guobadia.

The 39-year-old reality star took to Instagram on Monday to share a snap of herself with Simon Guobadia along with a lengthy caption in which she wanted to make clear that she had nothing to do with his divorce from the 31-year-old fellow reality star.

Porsha explained to her 6.3million followers: ‘For all of you that need facts, I get the optics but Simon filed for divorce from a previous marriage in January. I had nothing to do with their divorce filing. That’s between the two of them.

‘Falynn and I are not friends, and Simon’s divorce has been settled. Our relationship is a positive, loving step forward in everybody’s lives.’ 

Porsha first sparked engagement speculation during her  Mother’s Day celebrations on Sunday as she shared a snap of herself with her hand placed on the stomach of Simon, 56, with a massive diamond sparkler on her left ring finger.

In her recent post, she said that despite them starting to date just last month, their relationship has moved rapidly as she wrote:  ‘Our relationship began a month ago—yes we are crazy in love. 

‘I know it’s fast but we are living life each day to its fullest. I choose happiness every morning and every night. Tuning out all negative energy and only focused on positive wishes. He makes me so happy and to me, that is what matters most.’

In the Mother’s Day snaps, Porsha and Simon were joined by the father to her two-year-old daughter Pilar Jhena and ex-fiance, Dennis McKinley, leaving many fans confused.

Porsha clarified that all three of them are working on a healthy co-parenting relationship as she wrote on Monday: ‘Simon and Dennis are committed to being respectful and supportive of my happiness in this situation, as well as being the best co-parents they can be to baby PJ. 

‘Two black men stepping up and being amazing people-let’s praise them!!!!’

She concluded the shocking post by writing: ‘It’s truly a beautiful moment in my life & we cannot wait to spend the rest of our lives together. xoxo P #LoveWins.’

An interesting thing to note is that Falynn was introduced as Porsha’s friend when she made her debut on the Real Housewives Of Atlanta in an episode which aired in December 2020 but Porsha insisted the two are not friends in her recent post. 

Meanwhile, Falynn – who was on the Bravo reality program in a limited capacity – and Simon had announced their decision to end their marriage after two years on April 22. 

After two years of marriage and 5 years of friendship, Simon and I have made the difficult decision to go our separate ways,’ the reality television personality began a lengthy message on her Instagram Story.

‘We are deeply thankful for the impact we have made in each other’s lives, as well as the bonds formed with each other’s children,’ she added. 

‘This mutual decision was not made lightly and despite our current willingness to be transparent, we only ask our friends and supporters to be respectful of our privacy as our family gets through this very difficult period.’ 

 The former pair tied the knot in June 2019 in Atlanta, and brought together their large blended family. Falynn has three children from a previous relationship – with the eldest being 14 – while Simon has five.

The film producer and entrepreneur also discussed the split with a post on his own Instagram account, writing: ‘After a year and a half together, Falynn and I have made the mutual decision to end our marriage.’

‘Despite our willingness to be transparent, we respectfully ask for privacy at this time. Thank you,’ he finished.

Fellow castmember Kenya Moore seemingly responded to Porsha’s big news.

As the two have had a feud for quite some time, the 50-year-old reality star raised some eyebrows as she shared an iconic video of Nicki Minaj screaming: ‘Did I lie!? Did I f***ing lie!?’
