Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams scored a win in her divorce battle with ex Simon Guobadia after a judge ruled in her favor to enforce their prenup, Us Weekly can report.
On Tuesday, June 11, a hearing took place in Williams and Guobadia’s bitter divorce. The exes were fighting over the enforcement of the prenup they signed before walking down the aisle.
The hearing had been postponed several times, partly due to Guobadia, 61, being taken into custody by ICE. As Us first reported, Guobadia 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.”
Williams did not agree with Guobadia on the matter. She said that the negotiations took place over the course of months.
At the recent hearing, 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.
As Us first reported, Guobadia was deported to Nigeria last week. The businessman has been in ICE custody since February.
Guobadia’s friend and business partner, Tai Savet, told Us that he was in “good spirits” after his release. Tai told Us that Guobadia hoped to have a conversation with President Donald Trump.
