RHOA's Porsha Williams Introduces Girlfriend Patrice "Sway" McKinney

Porsha Williams is embracing a fresh chapter in her love life. Nearly half a year following her divorce from Simon Guobadia, the Real Housewives of Atlanta star introduced her new partner, Patrice Sway McKinney.

On Instagram, Nov. 28, the couple shared intimate photos showing Sway hugging Porsha in front of a Christmas tree, both laughing joyfully. In one playful image, Sway kissed Porsha on the cheek while holding her close. Another video highlighted the pair dancing at a nightclub, with Porsha resting her head on Sways shoulder as they enjoyed the night together.

Happiest Birthday @sway_thepro, Porsha wrote. Hope this year brings you everything you desire and more! Cant wait to celebrate on Saturday!

Earlier, Porshawho finalized her split from Simon in February 2024revealed she had narrowed her dating options to two people, marking the first public confirmation that she was dating a woman. During CultureCon 2025, she explained: I narrowed it down to two, and he is kind and she is kind.

The 44-year-old, mother to 6-year-old Pilar with ex Dennis McKinley, elaborated on her approach to dating: I wanted to meet normal people. Narcissists love-bomb you and mirror your actions, but these people dont. Theyre genuine, they ask me questions, and they dont let me walk over them.

Porshas openness surprised some fans, though she had previously hinted at difficulties connecting with men and suggested her dating life would shift following her divorce. After a breakup like that, you question if you even like anyone, she shared with People in June. I wondered, Do I like women enough? Could I be with a woman? The right person will come along eventually.

Although Porsha is no longer part of Real Housewives of Atlanta, she remains a memorable figure from the franchise. E! News has ranked all Housewives over the years, noting her place among a long list of former cast members from various cities and seasons, highlighting her lasting impact on the series.
