Porsha Williams Packs on the PDA With New Woman in Her Life

Did Porsha Williams just make her relationship Instagram official? It sure looks that way. “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum returned to social media with a sweet and very cozy birthday tribute for Patrice “Sway” McKinney — and fans immediately took notice. Here’s what went down.

Williams shared a carousel of photos and videos on November 28 in honor of Sway’s birthday. “Happiest Birthday [Patrice],” she wrote. “Hope this year continues to bring you everything you want and more! Can’t wait to act up saturday!” Fans didn’t need to read between the lines — the chemistry was obvious.

The first photo showed Williams and Sway wrapped up together in front of a Christmas tree, followed by clips from a club night out. But the final slide was the one that sealed the deal: Sway hugging the RHOA star and kissing her on the cheek as Williams grinned. It was pure PDA, and it confirmed what many already suspected.

Porsha Williams Confirms Her Relationship With Patrice McKinney

This update comes just months after Williams finalized her divorce from Simon Guobadia. Since then, Williams has been open about dating again, revealing in October that she was involved with both a man and a woman.

“So the people I am talking to now — it’s just two — I’ve narrowed it down to two. And he is nice, and she is nice,” Williams said during a panel at CultureCon. She added that dating “non-narcissists” was new territory and joked about the difference between past partners and her new love interests.

Williams kept dropping hints at BravoCon 2025, admitting she was still technically single but focusing on one special person. “I hope that this could be something, but we’ll see,” she said at the Getting Lucky at the Love Hotel panel. “You know, still just dating.”

When Andy Cohen asked about her “lady pond” adventures, Williams did what Williams always does — delivered the perfect line. “Oh, well, I have dipped a toe or two in the pond,” she said. “And it is warm.”
