Porsha Williams Announces She Is Dating Both Men and Women After Divorce

Months before confirming her new relationship status, Porsha Williams hinted at the possibility of dating women. She specifically questioned herself on whether she liked women enough to pursue that path, reflecting on her recent emotional struggles following her divorce.

In June, the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star shared that her divorce from ex-husband Simon Guobadia had left her feeling disillusioned, leading her to not want to date anyone for a while. She described her emotional state as being affected by a “bad enough breakup” and questioned her feelings toward women, asking whether she could connect with someone on the same level she did with her ex.

At a recent event, Williams revealed she is now dating both men and women, after narrowing down her options. Audience reactions ranged from applause to shock, as she acknowledged that the individuals she is seeing are both “nice” and “normal,” but she finds it challenging to open up because they aren’t narcissists like her ex.

Williams also shared her desire for a real connection and her frustration with past experiences involving love bombing, which she seemingly linked to her previous relationship with Simon Guobadia. She emphasized the importance of mutual honesty and expressed a need for someone who can challenge her and call her out from time to time.

Williams also addressed rumors about her past relationships and accusations made by others, notably denying claims of bisexuality made by a former co-star and criticizing gossip and false stories shared in the media. She admitted to having perhaps been overly trusting of some individuals and expressed a wish to be more guarded in the future.

Reps for Williams and Guobadia have not commented publicly. The former couple was engaged in 2021 and married in 2022, but Williams filed for divorce in early 2024, which was finalized in June. Social media reactions to her new dating life have been mixed, with some celebrating her honesty and others speculating about her past relationships.
