Porsha Williams, the Real Housewives of Atlanta star has filed for a divorce from the Nigerian Businessman, Guobadia after 15 years of marriage.
Porsha filed for a divorce on Thursday at the Fulton County Superior Court in Georgia according to the documents obtained by PEOPLE.
In her filing, Porsha states that their marriage is irretrievably broken and there are no prospects for a reconciliation.
She and Guobadia are currently living in a bona fide state of separation. She requests that Guobodia be ordered to pay her attorney’s fees and expenses of litigation incurred through the divorce.
What Reasons Could Have Led to the Divorce?
The couple was so in love a year ago as they said ‘I do’ in a Nigerian wedding followed by an American ceremony in Atlanta.
They first went public in May 2021 after a month of dating with Williams, 42, confirming her beautiful new relationship with the Nigerian businessman, 59.
Speculations are high with fans wondering what could have gone wrong in this cute couple.
News of the divorce filing comes amid rumors that Guobadia has been denied permanent residency in the United States, a decision he is said to be appealing.
If he married her for citizenship, but now can’t give him that, then he could have seen no point in staying married.
He was denied permanent residency due to a criminal record involving alleged bank and credit fraud among other visa infractions.
With such allegations, the American government may be eyeing him making it uncomfortable for Porsha William’s life and career as she recently announced her return to RHOA after a two-year break.
With all these happenings, she could have decided to divorce him to protect herself as well as her assets.
However, despite all the speculations, a source tells PEOPLE that the divorce is unrelated to recent allegations involving Simon’s past. The cause of their divorce is an “ongoing matter,” adds the source.
When contacted, the representatives for Williams declined to comment on the matter. The fans can only wait and see what unravels from the divorce case.
New Deals for Williams
It seems new deals always happen for Williams right when the old doors are closing.
Porsha started dating Guobadia right after his previous relationship ended with the internet speculating they were seeing each other before his divorce from Falynn Pina, a Real Housewives of Atlanta star.
She stated that the pair was simply at the “same place” at the “same time”. She also stressed that her romance with Goubadia was unrelated to Pina’s divorce claiming that she and Pina are not friends – despite Pina being introduced to the RHOA show as William’s friend.
Right now just when her divorce is starting, Williams revealed that she is returning to the RHOA Georgia-set series for season 16 after two years off. Williams first joined the show in Season 5 and left in Season 13.
In addition, she also signed a deal with NBCUniversal for “scripted project opportunities across the company’s broadcast and streaming properties.”
“I’m incredibly thankful for the vision and faith NBCUniversal has put in me to be a larger part of their family,” she said in a statement. “I’m looking forward to being back on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” and showing the world my new world!”
