Porsha Williams aims to do 'different this time' after split from Simon Guobadia

Porsha Williams recently got candid and opened up about taking a break from dating following her divorce from Simon Guobadia.

While catching up with PEOPLE magazine’s cover story, the 44-year-old American TV personality and singer got emotional as she talked about her life after separation from Guobadia and revealed why she has decided to take a break from dating.

Expressing her thoughts, Williams said through tears, "It's lonely. I can't connect with other men. You would think I'm dating already and stuff, right? People try to introduce me. But it's just... when it's not the same, it's not the same."

She noted, "I'm going to do it different this time," she explains. "I'm going to be alone until I'm whole. And then when I'm whole, then I will open myself back up so I don't make the same mistake again."

The Real Housewives of Atlanta star, who welcomed her 6-year-old daughter, Pilar Jhena, with ex Dennis McKinley, admitted that she “used to be a people pleaser.”

"I used to only see myself through men's eyes, and that's why I went through a lot of abuse with men in my twenties. And then when I got on reality TV for the first three years, I only saw myself through what the fans would say in the comments. I was like a walking culmination of what the comments thought,” she explained.

But Williams has now taken charge of her life, whether it's money or love, as she quipped, “But now, I could give zero you-know-whats. I'm my own person. I took charge of my life, financially, in my relationships — everything. I'm really confident now. But something like this, it shakes your confidence, you know? Because you work so hard and you think everything is going one way and when it doesn't work out, it's disappointing."

For the unversed, the Zootopia+ star and Guobadia tied the knot in 2022 after a whirlwind romance caught attention in May 2021.

It is pertinent to mention that the couple who came out as an emblem of perfection until February 2024, ended up annulling their marriage after Porsha Williams filed for divorce, which now has been finalised.
