Porsha Williams praised her then-husband Simon Guobadia as her “ride or die” in a social media post just days before filing for divorce from him after 15 months of marriage, a decision that was not influenced by speculation about Guobadia’s citizenship status. The couple had previously made headlines for their whirlwind romance, which began shortly after Guobadia’s divorce from Williams’ “Real Housewives of Atlanta” costar Falynn Guobadia, leading to their engagement and Williams’ subsequent departure and return to the show.
Porsha Williams praised Simon Guobadia as her “ride or die” just days before filing for divorce from him after 15 months of marriage, amidst rumors and a whirlwind romance that began shortly after his previous marriage ended.
Porsha Williams was all about Simon Guobadia, calling him her “ride or die” just days before things took a turn. “My ride or die 🤌🏾🔥 (And yes he thought he was gone die today 😂) #BeHisPeace ❤️🌹,” she posted. It was a sunny Saturday, February 17, with a video of them cruising on a boat. The backdrop? A cityscape of towering skyscrapers.
But then, less than a week later, the news broke. On Friday, February 23, People magazine dropped the bombshell. Williams had filed for divorce from Guobadia after just 15 months of marriage. And no, it wasn’t about the rumors swirling around his citizenship status.
Remember May 2021? That’s when Williams and Guobadia went public. She said they’d been together “a month ago” and were “crazy in love.” This was right after Falynn Guobadia, Simon’s ex and Williams’ Real Housewives of Atlanta costar, announced her own divorce.
Oh, and speaking of RHOA, did you catch that bit about former stars? “Once a peach, always a peach,” they say. NeNe Leakes, for instance, left in season 7 but came back in 2018. It’s a revolving door of drama and comebacks.
Williams was all about happiness and tuning out the negativity. “He makes me so happy,” she said, defending the whirlwind romance. She clarified that she had nothing to do with Simon’s previous divorce. And as for Falynn? “We are not friends,” Williams stated, setting the record straight.
Then there’s the engagement. Amidst the whirlwind, Simon took to social media to squash cheating rumors. “Let’s have some fun,” he challenged, offering $50,000 for proof of infidelity. He was ready to clear his name and move forward with Williams.
But 2021 brought more changes. Williams surprised Bravo fans by leaving RHOA after nearly a decade. She starred in Porsha’s Family Matters, focusing on her engagement. Yet, she couldn’t stay away for long. Earlier this month, she announced her return to RHOA for season 16.
Meanwhile, Kandi Burruss, a long-time costar, announced her departure from the show after 14 seasons. It’s an ever-changing landscape in the world of reality TV. Williams is back, ready to share her “new world” with the world. And so, the saga continues, with fans eagerly awaiting the next chapter in this real-life drama.
