In the aftermath of her divorce, Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams suggested that she would be open to dating a woman during an interview with People. At the time, however, she was not particularly interested in dating at all because her split from her ex-husband, Simon Guobadia, felt too recent. Now, a few months later, she appears to be looking for love and exploring her options.
She revealed that she’s currently seeing two people — a woman and a man.

In June, the 44-year-old reality star told People that she would remain single until she felt “whole” again. Porsha filed for divorce from Simon in 2024 after 15 months of marriage. The former couple just finalized their divorce earlier this year.
At the time, she suggested that her breakup was “bad enough” to make her feel like she didn’t really like or connect with anyone. She said she couldn’t “connect with other men,” and also questioned whether she’d be able to date women. “I was sitting here [asking], ‘Do I like women enough? Can I get with a woman?'” she detailed at the time. “Who can come and fill this void? Like, somebody?”
Well, now, she has apparently found someone — two people, actually. During her recent appearance at New York City’s CultureCon, she hinted at what her love life is like at the moment.
Subtly shading her ex, Porsha said both people she’s dating are very ‘nice’ and ‘normal.’
She claimed that it’s actually hard to get used to dating people who are so… normal. Oof. Per Page Six, she said, “Of the people I am talking to now… he is nice. And she is nice.” Given that they’re currently in the “talking” stage, she didn’t share more information about who these romantic prospects are, but she did imply that they’re very different from her ex.
“I really wanted to make sure these were normal people,” she said. “And what I talked about with my therapist the other day was, I’m having a hard time opening up because they’re not narcissists.” She also explained that getting to know these two “normal” people has forced her to “soften up a bit.”
“I have to not expect a whole lot of elaborate things. I have to expect someone to call me out from time to time,” she said, adding that they both “challenge” her in a positive way and ask her lots of questions.
Fans had mixed reactions.
Some of them were not at all surprised to find out that Porsha is dating a woman, though others accused her of doing it for “attention” and to “stay relevant.” Several fans simply love this for her though. “Wow!!! I really didn’t see it coming but good for her,” one of them wrote.
