Porsha Williams Says Marriage to Simon Guobadia Is 'Irretrievably Broken' With 'No Prospects for Reciliation' as She Hires Powerhouse Lawyer
Porsha Williams is not messing around when it comes to her impending divorce from Simon Guobadia.
According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, The Real Housewives of Atlanta star, 42, has retained powerhouse attorney Randall Kessler to represent her in her split from the businessman, 59.
The famed attorney previously represented Williams in her divorce from Kordell Stewart in 2013. Kessler has also helped NeNe Leakes, Jeannie Mai, Christina Milian and The Dream in their legal battles.
In the Bravo star's petition, she claimed the marriage to Guobadia was "irretrievably broken" and "there are no prospects for a reconciliation."
After marrying in 2022, Williams and the entrepreneur officially called it quits this week. According to insiders close to the estranged pair, the end of their romance is an "ongoing matter" but is "unrelated to recent allegations involving Simon's past" after rumors ran rampant about Guobadia's citizenship status.
Williams and Guobadia went public with their relationship in 2021, shortly after his split from RHOA "friend of" Falynn Pina, while the activist ended her engagement to her former fiancé, Dennis McKinley, with whom she shares daughter, Pilar Jhena.
