How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta on Peacock and the Bravo App.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum has a great relationship with her daughter, Pilar Jhena "PJ" McKinley, co-parenting with her ex, Dennis McKinley, and is so in love with her entrepreneur husband, Simon Guobadia

And it seems like Simon feels the same way since getting married to Porsha in the fall of 2022. Simon's Instagram account is filled with gratitude and appreciative posts for all of the people in his life: from his wife to his stepdaughter, and all of the people that surround them. 

What everyone’s talking about on Bravo:

Read on for all of the updates on the relationships in Simon's life — from his co-parenting with Dennis, to his respect for Porsha's mom, Diane Williams.

Simon Guobadia shares update on Porsha Williams' Daughter, PJ

Simon entered his marriage with Porsha with five kids, having plenty of experience in being a father which has helped with his relationship with PJ. Simon took to Instagram earlier this month, where he shared the cutest selfies of him smiling with PJ. 

"We are all about smiles in our home," he wrote in the caption of the post. "As you can see in this series of shots, I have no problem competing with a 4 year old for who has the best smile. Who do you think won the contest!"

PJ's enthusiasm for her stepdad is apparent, and according to Porsha, their little girl loves having older siblings. "She loves her brothers and her sisters, which is so beautiful," Porsha told People in March 2023. "I mean, she was an only child to boom. She's got two sisters and three brothers overnight. And they're so patient and loving with her."

Simon continued saying nice things about PJ in an Instagram post to his account on Feb. 4, adding some kind messages for her dad, Dennis, in there too.

In the photos, Simon and PJ can be seen sitting courtside at an Atlanta Hawks basketball game, where they ate hot dogs, hung out with the Atlanta Hawks dance team, and jammed to the music playing over the PA system. They clearly had a great time together, and Simon's words make that apparent. 

"Blessed to be a bonus dad to a very smart, funny, caring and a huge personality just like mom; that happens to be almost 5 years old," he wrote in the caption of the post. "She is also blessed with loving parents in Dennis and Porsha, and this is what a little girl's life should look like...loved unconditionally by all."

Simon Guobadia updates on Porsha Williams' Mom, Diane Williams

If Simon has this much love for his wife, then you can imagine how much appreciation he has for the people who raised her, like her mom, Diane.

Simon wrote the most touching tribute to Diane on Instagram on her birthday on Jan. 22, where he even called her "mom." So sweet!

"All, please join me in wishing my mother-in-law, Diane, a very happy birthday today," he wrote. "You have been incredibly loving, giving, and a supportive mother-in-law. You have shown me and my family nothing but love, respect, and acceptance from day 1. My kids adore you, and always look forward to spending time with you. For all this and more, I'm eternally grateful to you. Happy birthday mom."

Simon has such a way with words.

Simon also shared how much he appreciates his wife, as if it wasn't already so apparent, in the caption of a video posted to Instagram on Jan. 17.

In the video, Porsha can be seen singing "Happy Birthday" to Simon's 14-year-old son, Christian Guobadia, as PJ dances around them and threatens to blow out the candles.

"My wife Porsha is ALWAYS attentive to every single child's Birthday, Christmas, Easter, and 'just because' celebration," he wrote in the caption of the post. "She never misses...she just never misses. Thanks for being a great wife to me and a great mom to all our kids, thanks for always prioritizing this family."

Although he might think that Porsha has a talent for prioritizing their family, Simon himself is great at doing that. These Instagram posts show that a little kindness and appreciation for the people in his life go a long way.
