RHOA’s Porsha Williams Is Dating a Woman After Simon Guobadia Divorce

by

Porsha Williams is feeling just peachy about her potential new love interests. 

Three months after finalizing her divorce from Simon Guobadia, *The Real Housewives of Atlanta* star has shared that she is now dating two people, one of whom is a woman.

During an appearance at CultureCon 2025 in New York City, Porsha shared in an October 5th Instagram video that she’s narrowed down her options to two potential partners. She described both of them as kind people.

Oh my god, he paused, and you could *hear* everyone breathe! Then he said, and I’m paraphrasing because I was practically hyperventilating, that he needed to be sure the people around him were… normal. He told us he was talking to his therapist – can you imagine?! – and he’s struggling to connect because these aren’t the types who would, like, instantly fall for him. He said narcissists *love bomb* you – they’re perfect, they reflect everything you want to see, they’re just… everything! And these people? They’re not like that at all. It’s like he’s realizing he’s not getting that intense, overwhelming attention he’s used to, and it’s throwing him off. It was… everything.

Porsha, who shares 6-year-old daughter Pilar with her ex, Dennis McKinley, explained that her daughter and others are now questioning her and aren’t afraid to speak up.

Though it may come as a surprise to some, the Bravo star suggested over the summer that she was open to dating people of any gender.

After her difficult breakup with Simon, Porsha admitted she was struggling to connect with other men. She told *People* magazine in June that she’s approaching dating differently this time. She plans to focus on herself and heal before starting a new relationship, hoping to avoid repeating past mistakes. She wants to be completely whole before opening herself up to love again.

And not wanting to repeat history meant potentially looking for love in a new type of partner.

Let me tell you, after a really tough breakup, it’s so easy to feel like you just want to be alone! I definitely went through a phase where I questioned everything, even what I was looking for in a partner. I remember thinking, ‘Could I even be with someone right now? And could that person actually fill the space that’s been left?’ Honestly, I wasn’t there yet, but I knew that feeling would pass and I’d be open to connection again.

Everyone’s eager to hear about Porsha’s dating life, but in the meantime, check out where TopMob has ranked her among all the Housewives!

Bravo’s show about Washington D.C. featured four women—Mary Amons, Lynda Erkiletian, Cat Ommanney, and Stacie Scott Turner—who didn’t exactly make a lasting impression. And then there was one woman who was so eager for attention that she actually crashed a party at the White House. We’ll get to her story shortly.

Who?

Vaguely familiar, but…

Once upon a time, DeShawn starred on the same TV show as NeNe Leakes. Surprising, we know.

This one-season Housewife brought nothing to the Orange County table.

The newest cast member on The Real Housewives of Utah had a dramatic and short-lived run on the show. In January 2022, Jennie was let go after old, offensive Facebook posts with racially insensitive content came to light. She later issued an apology, but the show decided to remove her from the cast.

Her defining trait was “cougar.”

Dr. Jen didn’t cause much drama during season 16, and her short-lived marital issues with her husband, Ryne, weren’t very exciting. But we’ll always remember when she got noticeably drunk on wine at the Dubrows’ incredibly awkward, but surprisingly fun, dinner party.

The nurse anesthetist’s first season was a disaster, best remembered by the embarrassing incident now known as ‘Esophagus-gate.’

Katie frequently discussed her charitable endeavors, but she didn’t offer much beyond that on the show. She rarely engaged with the other cast members, and her limited involvement as a friend was noticeable. When she left the cast’s group trip early, it was considered a major breach of etiquette for a *Real Housewives* personality.

I always felt so bad for Charrisse during her time on the show – her personal struggles were really out in the open for everyone to see. Honestly, when I think back to her seasons, it’s those difficulties, and of course, that incredible champagne room, that really stick in my mind. Those are the things I’ll always remember about her time as a Housewife.

A one-and-done Housewife, Shamari was at least fun?

Although it was refreshing to see a bit more diversity on *The Real Housewives of Orange County*, Peggy ended up being a difficult cast member in season 12. She frequently started strange arguments, often over misunderstandings of simple words, and her decision to isolate herself during the Iceland trip showed she wasn’t suited for the lifestyle.

Nneka’s first season on the show focused on a surprising and dramatic conflict: she accused Wendy Osefo’s mother of witchcraft. It was a shame, as it would have been great to see Nneka and Wendy connect over their Nigerian heritage instead of being caught in this unresolved dispute.

Noella brought a lot of energy to season 16, but it was often chaotic. Although viewers sympathized with her personal difficulties – her husband, James, unexpectedly filed for divorce just before filming began – it was her ongoing conflict with Heather Dubrow that kept her from being seen as the least interesting cast member. Perhaps with more time on the show, viewers will connect with Noella.

It’s rare to see a Housewife’s reputation decline so quickly. She went from being a peacemaker in her first season to facing accusations of anti-Semitism and complaining about a cake being thrown in her second – and final – season.

Amber and Jim both appeared to be acting out of desperation. However, Jim seemed much more caught up in the problems than Amber, which didn’t look good for him.

The only thing most people recall about Karent is that she worked as a dentist, and apparently, her colleagues didn’t care for her. Moving on!

This was a real person with a show on Bravo. We promise.

Jules was only on *RHONY* for one season, so it’s hard to place her higher on a ranking list. Still, she definitely brought the drama during her time on the show.

So unnecessary they couldn’t even get individual taglines.

Similar to Sara Al Madani, Nina was a successful Arab woman who skillfully balanced a modern lifestyle with her cultural heritage. She mostly stayed out of the drama during the first season and, at times, didn’t get as much attention as her more outgoing co-stars.

Taleen joined the second season of *RHODubai* and made a positive impression, but it’s hard to fully evaluate her after just one season.

Though known from *America’s Next Top Model*, this personality didn’t make a big impact on *The Real Housewives of Atlanta*, except for being visibly pregnant throughout her time on the show. She did deliver a memorable confrontation with Marlo Hampton while in Tokyo, though!

Generally, new Housewives need to be on the show for a few seasons before we consider ranking them highly. However, Katie made a huge impact during her first season of RHOC, immediately challenging established Housewife Heather Dubrow. It’s not easy to question someone as prominent as Heather!

To be frank, Stephanie didn’t really impress us. Although she had the potential to be a great addition to the show thanks to her wealth, we were turned off by how she constantly flaunted her private jet and used it to try and control the other cast members during season seven. It just didn’t sit right with us.

Maybe Steph can redeem herself if she returns for season eight.

Sara was known for her optimistic and positive attitude, which made her a joy to be around, though things were usually quite calm around her – except for the occasion when she gave some unsolicited parenting advice to her co-star, Caroline Brooks. More importantly, she challenged common ideas about what it means to be a modern Muslim woman in the Middle East, and that’s something to celebrate.

The new cast members on season 13 of *RHONJ* quickly fell into the pattern of typical New Jersey housewives, getting caught up in a season-long, ultimately meaningless argument that even Andy Cohen called pointless. Sadly, they didn’t offer much more depth or substance in season 14 either.

Larsa Pippen didn’t stand out much during her first season on the show before she departed. When The Real Housewives of Miami returned in 2021, a major focus of her storyline was her past friendship with Kim Kardashian, along with her side hustle selling photos of her feet online.

After appearing on Bravo TV for one season, Ana tried out for season 12 of *Next Food Network Star* in 2016, but wasn’t selected.
