The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams recently debuted her new girlfriend, Sway The Pro, marking a major public step in her post-divorce life.
Porsha shared pictures on social media showing the two looking very happy together in front of her Christmas tree.
Sway The Pro, whose real name is Patrice McKinney, is an Atlanta-based licensed master barber and salon owner.
Porsha publicly introduced Patrice to her fans on November 28, 2025, after months of speculation about her new relationship.
This new romance shows Porsha moving forward after her very public and difficult divorce from ex-husband Simon Guobadia, which finalized in June 2025.
Porsha previously told fans that she was exploring her dating options and enjoying her freedom.
She mentioned she was talking to two people, a man and a woman, and that both were "nice, normal people," which she felt was a healthy change from past relationships.
She said her previous patterns involved going "all-in" quickly with people who were "love-bombing narcissists."
Porsha’s new approach to love involves taking things slow, which is something she is learning from her sister and close friend, Lauren Williams.
At a recent BravoCon event, Porsha explained that she is currently single but has started focusing on someone special.
She admits she tends to fall in love fast, often rushing into things. This time, she is trying to resist that urge to rush.
The reality star also gave fans a hint about how this new connection feels.
She told reporters that she feels "taken care of" and "happy" in her current situation.
The most important detail she gave was that her "nervous system is calm," suggesting that Patrice McKinney brings a peaceful, positive energy to her life.
This new relationship development comes as Porsha films the latest season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
She already introduced her new lady friend to some of the show's cast members, including Phaedra Parks and Angela Oakley, proving that this relationship is serious enough for her to bring it into her professional life.
Porsha appears happy, embracing this new chapter as she explores her sexuality and enjoys her freedom after her divorce.
