A Real Housewives of Atlanta relationship announcement from Porsha Williams was the last thing fans were expecting, and we've learned lots of fun facts about her new fiancé Simon Guobadia. RHOA viewers' jaws dropped when she confirmed her engagement to Simon Guobadia. After all, he's the now-ex-husband of a woman who was introduced as "Porsha's friend" in season 13. Simon is ready to get married again, and fans want to know more about the man Porsha is preparing to make a lifetime commitment to.
Most Real Housewives of Atlanta fans know about Simon from his brief appearance on the show. They already realize that he is rich and successful. They also know that he lived a life of luxury with his soon-to-be ex-wife, Falynn Guobadia. Porsha drove her friends over to the Guobadia home for a day of fun. She appeared sweet and innocent during their friendly encounter. However, it looks like there might have been more going on behind the scenes that cameras didn't catch. That same week, Porsha posted up a selfie with Simon, confirming their romance despite the backlash. She plans to live happily ever after with him. They will co-parent their children together.
This past season, Porsha was open about how she "chose" to start a family with Dennis McKinley, due to how successful he was and his elaborate proposal. There appear to be clear similarities between her ex-fiancé and her current one. Simon is also a wealthy businessman who works as the founder and CEO of his fuel supply company. In addition, he is the CEO of a freight shipping company. Simon has executive producer film credits under his belt for a number of movies, including Kill, Son of the South, and Jail Dogs, as reported by IMDb.
Now 56-years-old, Simon did well for himself after obtaining an accounting degree from the University of the District of Columbia. His @iamsimonguobadia Instagram bio lists him as a father, philanthropist, CEO, executive producer, investor, automobile Collector, and UDC alumni. His career takes him all over the world, as a guest at established events. He recently shared pictures and videos from Uganda, where he went to attend the presidents' inauguration. "Time to have dinner with President-Elect, President Yoweri Museveni whose inauguration I’m honored to attend tomorrow Wednesday. Congratulations your Excellency," he captioned a photo of himself, as seen below:
The proud father often posts photos and videos of his children. "Climbing 700 steps on this trip in Colombia was not going to happen. Next trip maybe....after training lol," he captioned a clip with his sons, which was filmed on the vacation to the South American country. He also shared a photo of his 8-year-old daughter, identifying her as his fifth child. He expressed his sadness at not being able to see her during the pandemic due to travel restrictions. See his video below:
With Porsha mentioning their plans to co-parent in her engagement announcement, it looks like the Dish Nation is ready to be stepmother to Simon's lovable bunch. However, she may need to brace herself for more flak from Real Housewives of Atlanta fans. People will continue to speculate about her engagement. Can she take the heat?
