“I had nothing to do with their divorce filing,” Williams said of Guobadia and her ex. “That’s between the two of them.”
Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams recently announced her engagement to Simon Guobadia, the ex-husband of co-star Falynn Guobadia.

“Falynn and I are not friends, and Simon’s divorce has been settled,” she wrote after penning “for all of you that need facts, I get the optics, but Simon filed for divorce from a previous marriage in January.”
“I had nothing to do with their divorce filing,” she contended. “That’s between the two of them.”
Williams said her relationship with Guobadia began “a month ago.” She says that they are “crazy in love.”
“I know it’s fast, but we are living life each day to its fullest,” she posted. “I choose happiness every morning and every night. Tuning out all negative energy and only focused on positive wishes. He makes me so happy and to me, that is what matters most.”
Williams said that Guobadia and Dennis McKinley, the father of her daughter, Pilar Jhena, are “committed to being respectful and supportive of my happiness in this situation, as well as being the best co-parents they can be to baby PJ.”
