‘Housewives’ star Porsha Williams divorcing Simon Guobadia after 15-month marriage
LA Times“Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Porsha Williams, right, has filed for divorce from Nigerian-born businessman Simon Guobadia. The returning “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star filed for divorce from Guobadia in Fulton County in Georgia, The Times confirmed Friday, instantly providing a narrative for the upcoming season of the reality series. According to People, the divorce is “unrelated to recent allegations involving Simon’s past,” and the source said that the cause of their split is an “ongoing matter.” The Nigerian-born businessman reportedly has again been denied permanent U.S. residence — a decision he is said to be appealing — because of a criminal record involving alleged bank and credit card fraud, among other visa infractions, the Atlanta Black Star reported. Williams, who joined “Real Housewives of Atlanta” during Season 5, announced earlier this month that she’ll be returning to the Georgia-set series for Season 16 after taking a two-year break.
