Porsha Williams is exhaling and letting go.

The reality star is channeling ‘Waiting to Exhale’ legend Angela Bassett while rising from the ashes of her headline-making split from Simon Guobadia.

Full story below…

In a striking PEOPLE shoot, the Real Housewives of Atlanta royal reimagined that iconic Bernadine scene, but this wasn’t just art. It was personal.

Within the candid interview, she told the publication:

“I’m a true hopeless romantic. Once I decide to be with you, I dedicate everything to you. And Simon matched my energy. He’s very warm. He loves spending time with me. Were freakin’ extra. If we wanted to fly out the country every weekend or post on Instagram together about how much we love each other, he was down.”

After a year-long battle, a Georgia judge finalized her divorce from Guobadia, who appeared via Zoom from Nigeria after being deported for immigration violations, fraud, and reentering the U.S. under a false identity.

Williams shared the reason for the decision to file for divorce, admitting:

“Honestly, I feel like I filed before I was ready to file. I filed out of necessity to protect myself.

This one, I would think he would feel like it was a blindside for him. He was so used to me always finding a way to compromise what’s best for me. And this time I just didn’t do that.”

Guobadia, for his part, claims there were “no issues,” but the judge ruled in Williams’ favor, granting her spousal support, legal fees, and 36 months in their home.

As for her daughter Pilar? The heartbreak was real. Williams revealed what happened when Pilar asked to speak to Goubadia:

“I know if his kids wanted to contact me, that of course I would want to talk to them. So I thought it would still be in his heart. But he didn’t respond. That was difficult. I cried my eyes out for her.”

Now,Williams is pouring all that love into herself, saying:

“I’m finally able to exhale. And I’m proud of that.”
