Andy Cohen Reacts to the "Huge" News That Porsha Williams Guobadia Is Returning to RHOA
Kandi Burruss, Kenya Moore, Quad Webb, Gizelle Bryant, and more also sounded off on the news.
Who said that Porsha Williams Guobadia is officially coming back to The Real Housewives of Atlanta for the upcoming 16th season?
Porsha herself did.
On February 13, the Atlanta peach confirmed in a statement that she would be coming back to the show less than three years after she first exited.
“I'm incredibly thankful for the vision and faith NBCUniversal has put in me to be a larger part of their family,” Porsha said. "I’m looking forward to being back on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and showing the world my new world!"
As she mentioned in her statement, a lot has changed for Porsha since viewers last saw her on RHOA.
She tied the knot with Nigerian businessman Simon Guboadia in November 2022, and her daughter, Pilar Jhena "PJ" McKinley is now four years old (and in school!).
Porsha isn't the only person who is feeling "thankful" about her return. During the February 13 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, host Andy Cohen reacted to the exciting news, and Porsha's sister, Lauren Williams, also sounded off. Plus, a slew of Bravolebrities expressed their thoughts on her comeback as well.
