Simon Guobadia, the ex-husband of Porsha Williams, has expressed regret over their brief marriage, which lasted just 14 months. In an exclusive interview, he suggested that Williams, known for her role on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” targeted him for financial gain. Guobadia described his feelings of betrayal, stating, “I was totally blindsided,” as Williams filed for divorce without sharing her concerns with him.
Following the breakup, Guobadia sent a critical message to Williams acknowledging the significant financial burden he felt he undertook to support the relationship. He revealed that their divorce stemmed from complex issues, including Williams hiring an immigration attorney when she discovered troubling aspects of Guobadia’s legal status. Guobadia was recently deported to Nigeria due to immigration violations.
According to the terms set forth by a judge, Williams will receive $40,000 monthly in alimony for the duration of their marriage, and she has the option to remain in their Atlanta home for up to 36 months, with all expenses covered. Nevertheless, Guobadia has indicated his intention to appeal the ruling, believing he was unfairly targeted throughout the court process.
Guobadia noted that, despite their marriage, he did not develop a close bond with Williams’ daughter, Pilar “PJ” Jhena. He remarked that he tends to keep a distance from the children of his partners to prevent future emotional complications. Guobadia also addressed the child support payments Williams made while he was in ICE custody, claiming they were not sincere.
While Simon has raised concerns about the nature of his relationship with Porsha, sources close to Williams indicate that she has moved on from the marriage and wishes him well.
This narrative reflects the complexities of their relationship, marked by financial disputes and emotional conflicts, all occurring within the public eye. It’s a reminder of how high-profile marriages can unravel under pressure and the importance of clear communication in relationships. Despite these challenges, both parties are moving forward with their lives, and it’s hopeful to see how they adapt post-divorce.
