Porsha Williams, a star from The Real Housewives of Atlanta, has initiated divorce proceedings against her Nigerian spouse, Simon Guobadia, after 15 months of marriage.
According to information from a source, the decision to part ways on Friday, February 23, was unrelated to speculations surrounding Guobadia’s citizenship status.
The divorce announcement surfaced shortly after the Atlanta Black Star reported on Thursday, February 22, that Guobadia, 59, born in Nigeria, had faced repeated rejections for U.S. residency.
Guobadia, however, appeared indifferent to the rumors, sharing ” #42yearsLivinginAmerica” on Instagram on Tuesday, February 20.
While Porsha Williams has not addressed the separation publicly, she continues to use Guobadia as her last name on Instagram, and pictures with her estranged husband remain unremoved.
The engagement of Porsha and Guobadia was announced in May 2021, after a month of dating, and they officially tied the knot in November 2022.
Porsha Williams‘ decision to file for divorce comes more than a week after it was disclosed that she would return for the 16th season of RHOA as part of a broader scripted talent deal with NBCUniversal.
