It’s been nearly a year since Porsha Williams finalized her divorce from Simon Guobadia. After taking time for herself, the reality star has stepped back into the dating scene… this time with a woman.. and it appears she’s enjoying every moment.
Williams is currently dating Patrice ‘Sway’ McKinney, an Atlanta-based entrepreneur and founder of Encore Salon Suites. The reality star went public with their relationship in late November 2025, describing it as a “truth” she wanted to share and noting that they are in an exclusive, happy partnership.
While appearing on the Breakfast Club , Williams opened up about what it’s like being in a new relationship with a woman and whether she cares about the “lesbian” label. Williams told the hosts that standard labels aren’t something she focuses on, instead describing herself as “Porsha sexual.” Here’s what else she had to say:
More on Their Relationship
The two appear to be going strong. Williams hard-launched her relationship with girlfriend Patrice “Sway” McKinney on Friday, Nov. 28, sharing the news publicly after months of speculation. The The Real Housewives of Atlanta star has since offered glimpses into their relationship across social media.
Back in January, Williams rang in the New Year in Los Cabos alongside McKinney. The 44-year-old shared a reel from their tropical getaway—playfully dubbed “Swaycation”—on Instagram, showing moments from the trip that made it clear the pair were having a jolly ol’ time.
Where Is Simon?
While Williams appears to be thriving in her personal life, her ex-husband Simon Guobadia has faced legal challenges. The entrepreneur was deported to Nigeria from the United States in June 2025 following four months in ICE custody. After his deportation, reports indicated he is currently living in Nigeria, with some suggesting he also has the ability to travel to and stay in Dubai.
