Porsha Williams and Simon Guobadia's marriage has come to a sudden end after just 15 months. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star has filed for divorce from her Nigerian businessman husband in Atlanta on Thursday, February 22, according to People magazine. Sources close to the couple say that the divorce is not due to any recent allegations surrounding Simon's past, but rather an ongoing issue between the two.
This news comes just days after reports surfaced claiming that Simon may face deportation due to being denied U.S. citizenship. He is facing multiple felony charges, including credit card fraud, bank fraud, identity theft, and even a fake marriage in order to obtain a green card. A timeline of events reveals Simon's alleged scheme to marry American women after arriving in the U.S. on a visitor's visa in 1982. His first marriage was deemed invalid after it was discovered that he used it as a means to apply for permanent residency, which was ultimately denied. After his first wife came forward and revealed that they were never actually a couple and the marriage was never consummated, the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service began deportation proceedings and Simon voluntarily left the country.
However, Simon returned to the U.S. in 1986 on another visitor's visa and from 1987 to 1991, he was involved in two separate cases of bank and credit card fraud. In 1992, he was forcibly removed from the U.S. It's alleged that he obtained a green card under a fake identity, which has not been made public. In 2016 and 2020, Simon made further attempts to gain citizenship, but both were denied due to his previous unlawful residency and criminal history.
Despite Simon's ongoing legal issues, he and Porsha seemed to be living a happy and lavish lifestyle together, often sharing their love and happiness on social media. However, just last week, Simon posted about Porsha being "all mine" on Valentine's Day, but just one week later, the reality star has filed for divorce. The reason for their split is still unknown, but fans may get some answers when the new season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta premieres, as Porsha has announced her return to the show after a two-year break.
Porsha previously left the show at the end of season 13, but shocked fans when she announced her engagement to Simon, who appeared as a guest husband on the show. The couple dated for a few months before tying the knot in three separate wedding ceremonies in Atlanta and Nigeria. However, their fairytale romance has now come to an end.
In the midst of all this drama, Porsha's ex-husband, Kordell Stewart, is facing legal trouble of his own. He has been sued for $30,000 in unpaid child support by his ex-girlfriend, who is also seeking to have him thrown in jail. It seems like the drama never ends for The Real Housewives of Atlanta cast members.
