Porsha Williams and Simon Guobadia are parting ways after over a year of marriage. The former Real Housewives of Atlanta star officially initiated divorce proceedings in Atlanta on Thursday, as per documents obtained by PEOPLE.
Amidst online speculation regarding Guobadia’s citizenship status, a source close to the situation clarified to PEOPLE that the divorce has no ties to recent allegations surrounding Simon’s past. The reasons for their separation are described as an “ongoing matter” by an insider.
The couple had a dual celebration of their union in November 2022 with a traditional Nigerian ceremony followed by an American ceremony in Atlanta. Their engagement, announced in May 2021 after just one month of dating, was marked by declarations of love and happiness, emphasizing their mutual fulfillment.
Despite the initial attention their fast-paced romance garnered, the recent decision to part ways has become a focal point of discussion. Porsha Williams, 42, and Simon Guobadia, 59, had previously expressed their strong connection, but the details surrounding their separation remain private.
In addition to her personal life, Williams has been making waves in her professional endeavors. The reality star, entrepreneur, and mother of 4-year-old daughter Pilar recently announced her return to The Real Housewives of Atlanta for its sixteenth season after a two-year hiatus. She has also inked an overall scripted deal with NBCUniversal, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to showcase her “new world” on television.
Williams initially joined RHOA in its fifth season, took a break in season 13, and subsequently appeared alongside Guobadia on the Real Housewives spinoff Porsha’s Family Matters in 2021. Her latest television appearance was in the third season of The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, which aired last year. As Porsha Williams navigates the twists and turns of her personal and professional journey, her story continues to captivate audiences.
