Real Housewives of Atlanta star, Porsha Williams has scored a major win in her divorce battle with Nigerian-born entrepreneur Simon Guobadia.
The hearing had been postponed several times, partly due to Guobadia, 61, being taken into custody by ICE. As Us first reported, Guobadia was released from custody last week and deported back to Nigeria.
Williams, 43, files for divorce in February 2024, following 15 months of marriage. In her petition, she asked for support and for the division of property to be determined by the prenup.
On June 11, 2025, both parties appeared virtually via Zoom for a nearly 10-hour-long court hearing. Despite the lengthy session, the estranged couple reportedly had no direct communication during the proceedings.
The presiding judge ruled in favor of upholding the couple’s prenuptial agreement. As part of the judgment, Simon Guobadia was ordered to pay Porsha $40,000 in monthly alimony for a period of up to 15 months.
Porsha will also retain ownership of the Rolls-Royce gifted to her by Simon and has been granted partial control of their $7 million Atlanta mansion.
The court granted her until 2027 to decide whether she wants to remain in the home. If she chooses to stay, she will be required to refinance the property and buy out Simon’s 50% share.
In the meantime, Simon will continue covering the mortgage payments.
Guobadia opposed the request to enforce the agreement. He claimed Williams made misrepresentations during the negotiations. Williams did not agree with Guobadia on the matter. She said that the negotiations took place over the course of months.
