AceShowbiz - Porsha Williams is looking to end her marriage to Simon Guobadia. A new report revealed that on Thursday, February 23 the "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star filed to divorce the businessman after 15 months of marriage.
Filed in Fulton County Superior Court in Georgia, the divorce paper was said to be private so it's unknown why Porsha made the decisions. However, a source told PEOPLE that the pair split due to an "ongoing matter," though it's "unrelated to recent allegations involving Simon's past."
Despite the divorce, Porsha and Simon still follow each other on Instagram. The Bravo personality also still has Simon's last name on her profile.
The divorce, meanwhile, arrived after Porsha announced her return for "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" season 16. In an Instagram video posted earlier this month, Porsha said, "Who said that?" mimicking former co-star Kandi Burruss' famous line. She continued, "Porsha Williams coming back to 'Real Housewives of Atlanta'? That's false. But Porsha Guobadia is in the building. Haha, see ya, mwah!"
The reality TV star also expressed her excitement in a statement. "I'm incredibly thankful for the vision and faith NBCUniversal has put in me to be a larger part of their family," she said. "I'm looking forward to being back on 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta', and showing the world my new world!"
Rachel Smith, the Executive Vice President of Unscripted Content, Lifestyle and Documentaries, NBCUniversal Entertainment, added, "Porsha Williams Guobadia is a multi-hyphenate and we are fortunate to collaborate and tap into her creativity and passion through this partnership. Our audience has supported and admired Porsha as she so authentically, hilariously and vulnerably shared her life over the years and we couldn't be more excited to welcome her back to the NBCU family."
Shortly after being engaged to her now-husband Simon, Porsha exited "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" after season 13. It's said that the upcoming season will feature a major cast shakeup that prompts a filming hiatus.
