Porsha Williams Clarifies Timeline of Relationship With Simon Guobadia

Porsha Williams admits her relationship with fiancé Simon Guobadia has been a “whirlwind” — but she insists it didn’t begin until his divorce was already underway.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum, 40, clarified on Sunday that she direct-messaged Guobadia, 57, on social media after he filed paperwork in January to end his marriage to her former co-star Falynn Guobadia.

“The rest of it is history,” Simon said during the premiere of Williams’ spinoff, “Porsha’s Family Matters.”

The Bravolebrity caused a social media uproar in May when she announced her engagement to Simon while his divorce was still playing out in court.

“I had no idea that the timeline was such a mindf–ck for the public,” Williams said in a confessional, referencing her Instagram post on Mother’s Day in which she debuted her engagement ring while posing alongside Simon and her ex-fiancé Dennis McKinley, with whom she shares 2-year-old daughter Pilar.

Fans immediately started coming for Porsha after she announced her engagement. Some of her family members even mentioned on her new spinoff show that they heard people were saying she was a “husband stealer “.
