The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams scored a major legal victory in her divorce from estranged husband Simon Guobadia.
In court documents signed by a judge on Friday, August 7, and obtained by Us, a settlement agreement between the two parties has been certified. As part of this agreement, Guobadia.62, agreed to give up “any and all right, title, interest, estate, claim, lien, or demand whatsoever” in the couple’s Fulton County, Georgia, home to Williams, 45.
As part of the settlement, Guobadia agreed that Williams is owed $1,568,181.63 from the property’s equity, in addition to handing over the title to a 2021 Rolls-Royce Ghost. (TMZ was first to report the news.)
Williams retains the right to refinance or sell the Fulton County property without seeking Guobadia’s approval.
The Bravo star filed for divorce from Guobadia after 15 months of marriage in February 2024 and finalized the process in June 2025. During their extended divorce proceedings, Guobadia was deported to Nigeria over alleged immigration violations. (Williams was previously married to former NFL star Kordell Stewart from 2011 to 2013. She shares 7-year-old daughter, Pilar Jhena McKinley, with ex Dennis McKinley.)
This week’s court ruling severed one of Williams and Guobadia’s few remaining legal ties. Speaking to People in 2025, Williams opened up about the emotional toll of going through a lengthy divorce battle.
“You go through different stages,” she said. “You have that anger. You have the moment where you have to fight for your life in a court situation. And then, toward the end, you have the clarity where you realize you are still blessed. Your family is by our side, your child is protected; there’s a whole new life that you can start.”
At the time, Williams described herself as “a true hopeless romantic” and expressed her desire to one day fall in love again.
“Once I decide to be with you, I dedicate everything to you,” she said. “And Simon matched my energy. He’s very warm. He loved spending time with me. We were freakin’ extra. If we wanted to fly out of the country every weekend or post on Instagram together about how much we loved each other, he was down.”
Porsha has since introduced her “lady friend” Patrice “Sway” McKinney on The Real Housewives of Atlanta season 17.
“People had a lot to say about me being with women in the past. It’s like, literally the worst kept secret,” she joked in a confessional interview.
Her costar and longtime pal Phaedra Parks exclusively told Us in April that she is fully supportive of Williams and McKinney’s relationship.
“I think Sway is so sweet. She is just such a gentle woman,” Phaedra, 52, said. “I just love it and you know, she just adores Porsha and I think Porsha needs this type of love, someone that just loves her unconditionally.”
The iconic RHOA star joked that she was the last to know about the romance because she tries to “mind [her] business.”
“You notice things, but at the end of the day I just want her to be happy. A lot of people aren’t courageous enough to walk in their truth. A lot of people have desires that they are afraid to act upon because of cultural norms, whatever the case may be, and so I’m just happy that she’s showing her truth,” Phaedra told Us. “She’s walking in her truth and unapologetically allowing someone to love her.”
