Porsha Williams has stepped into a new chapter following her split from Simon Guobadia, which she initiated in February 2024 and finalized that summer.
With her divorce behind her, she has been exploring what feels right romantically and allowing her personal life to unfold naturally.
Her relationship with Patrice “Sway” McKinney became public in November when she shared a warm holiday photo on Instagram during Thanksgiving weekend.
The post on Instagram featured the two standing in front of twin Christmas trees, with McKinney holding her by the waist, offering fans a clear glimpse into their connection.
In a recent Entertainment Tonight interview, Porsha explained that she had been dating both a man and a woman before deciding to focus solely on her bond with McKinney. She shared that she suggested bringing both families together for Thanksgiving, which turned into an unforgettable holiday.
“We had a ball. We were karokeing, playing games, eating good food…it just all felt good,” said Williams.
The celebration continued the following day when McKinney celebrated her birthday. Porsha marked the occasion with an Instagram post that she felt truly captured the moment.
“The picture was just so sweet. How could I resist,” she said.
When asked about where their relationship stands, she confirmed that they are committed to one another.
“We are very close, definitely still dating,” Williams shared. “The next time you see me I might be engaged.”
Even with that possibility on the horizon, she emphasized that she intends to let the relationship grow at its own pace and still prefers to move “very slow.”
Porsha first opened up about the idea of dating a woman in an interview with PEOPLE earlier in the year. She recalled the questions she asked herself while trying to understand what she wanted.
“I was sitting there, I was like, ‘Do I like women enough? Can I get with a woman? Who can come in and fill this void?’ But I do not [have that] yet. It will come.”
Today, Porsha appears peaceful and confident in the direction her love life is heading as she continues to build something meaningful with McKinney.
