Friday, June 13, 2025 - Real Housewives of Atlanta star, Porsha Williams has scored a win in her divorce battle with ex-Nigerian husband, Simon Guobadia, after a judge ruled in her favor to enforce their prenup.
The exes have been fighting over the enforcement of the
prenup they signed before walking down the aisle.
Court hearings had been postponed several times, partly due
to Guobadia, 61, being taken into custody by ICE. He was released from custody
last week and deported back to Nigeria.
Williams, 43, filed for divorce in February 2024,
following 15 months of marriage. In her petition, she asked for support and for
the division of property to be determined by the prenup.
Guobadia opposed the request to enforce the agreement. He
claimed Williams made misrepresentations during the negotiations.
“[Williams] failed to disclose that she would return to her
employment on The Real Housewives of Atlanta as a cast member,” the
docs read. “Instead of disclosing this material fact, the Wife made it very
clear to [Guobadia] (and the public) that she was leaving the television show
and not returning. [Guobadia] relied on the representations — or
misrepresentations — [Williams] made to him during their engagement, the
negotiation phase, and at the time that the parties signed the Prenuptial Agreement.”
Guobadia claimed that if it were not for Williams’
“misrepresentations” about leaving RHOA, he would not have agreed to a
prenup that, “requires him to pay a substantial financial obligation to
[Williams] totaling over hundreds of thousands of dollars and terms that
require him to split the equity of his $7,000,000 million pre-marital home (the
Marital Residence) with [Williams], and pay significant debts and expenses for
the Wife’s benefit.”
At a hearing on Tuesday, June 10, the judge sided with
Williams and ordered the prenup to be enforced. Sources tell Us that
Guobadia has yet to determine if he will appeal the decision.
Before the hearing, Williams requested permission to attend
via video.
She told the court she was offered a job that would help her
“offset the numerous financial obligations that [Guobadia] has failed to
maintain under the Temporary Order, as well as to offset the significant legal
expenses [Williams] has already incurred in pursuing enforcement of the
parties’ Prenuptial Agreement and defending herself against [Guobadia] as it
relates to the instant divorce action.”
Her lawyer added, “[Williams] shows that her request for
virtual appearance is made in good faith and reflects a balancing of her
professional obligations and the serious nature of these proceedings, not a
desire to delay or further complicate the instant litigation.”
Guobadia appeared at the hearing via video.
He was deported to Nigeria last week after being in ICE
custody since February.
