Porsha Williams is married. The former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star married Simon Guobadia in a traditional Nigerian wedding ceremony that took place on Friday, November 25, 2022, according to People magazine.
“I am ridiculously excited. I am just so ready. I’m not even nervous. I mean, I know I’m marrying the love of my life, and it’s just going to solidify our relationship and our family bond. I’m calm and excited,” Williams told the outlet ahead of her big day.
The wedding — which is the first of two — was held at the Four Seasons Hotel Atlanta in front of 250 guests.
Williams previously told People that that her wedding was going to be a “fashion extravaganza.” For the Nigerian ceremony, she wore a red dress designed by Lakimmy. The gown was “customary for an Edo bride,” according to People. Williams also wore a headpiece known as an okuku.
About two weeks before her wedding, Williams accidentally showed her red dress during an Instagram Live.
