UPDATED (June 13, 10:53 A.M.): Kenya further opened up about Roi on Episode 6 of Season 15 of RHOA, telling her friend, Akilah (more on her below!), that while she likes him, she's still not used to the idea of dating following her divorce from Marc. As Kenya put it, "I've been a wife for five years. When I tell you I'm lost in this, I'm totally lost."
She continued in a confessional, noting that Roi "is just a sweetheart."
"I'm actually starting to feel like I have feelings, but I don't know how to date," Kenya added. "Roi is always out of town, and I don't think that any relationship can move forward if you don't see each other on a consistent basis. Like, Marc was a long distance relationship, and I married him in seven months. And now [with] Roi, we are no closer to being married."

Love is in the air for Kenya Moore during Season 15 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. RHOA fans have watched Kenya navigate the ups and downs of her love life over the years, and this season, she’s smitten with a special guy named Roi. And we have all the 411 on who he is straight from the source, Kenya herself.
How Kenya Met Roi
On Episode 1 of RHOA Season 15, Kenya first dished about Roi, revealing that they were introduced by Monyetta Shaw-Carter. “Monyetta is best friends with this super bachelor named Roi,” she explained during a confessional. “So she made an introduction. And I’m kind of crazy about him. He’s been very kind to me. He’s funny. He makes me feel alive. And he’s not bad on the eyes.”
What Kenya Revealed About Roi’s Job
Kenya went into more detail about Roi during Episode 2 of Season 15. On the May 14 episode of RHOA, Kenya spilled about her relationship with Roi to her friend Akilah Coleman. Roi, aka Mr. KMC, is “the CEO and founder of Kale Me Crazy. And I’m kind of crazy about him,” she said, describing him as “tall, handsome, kind, funny.”
Also in the episode, Kenya noted that she’s feeling more like herself for the first time in a long time amid her ongoing divorce from Marc Daly.
More Info on Roi, According to Kenya
As for Roi, well, in the RHOA Season 15 trailer, Kenya joked that she may have met the “next Mr. Moore.”
She later revealed to The Daily Dish his thoughts on that playful comment. “I don’t think he liked that comment too much,” she said with a laugh. “It was funny. It wasn’t serious, but yeah, I don’t think he liked it. But you know, he’s a businessman and he is very serious about everything he does. He’s very successful. So, you know, it took some time to warm up to that comment. I don’t want to focus too much on him, but I’d have to say that, for me, the guy in general that I am attracted to now is someone who is very supportive of what I do, not afraid to come around my friends, not afraid to help me in my business. Someone who’s just very confident. I think confidence is super key and [someone who is] just very comfortable in their own skin.”
Who Is Kenya’s Friend, Akilah Coleman?
As it turns out, Akilah’s daughter is friends with Kenya’s daughter, Brooklyn, and as seen on Episode 2 of RHOA Season 15, the foursome often hang out. In this case, it was over tennis, even if Akilah happens to be more of a football person. And there’s a good reason for that: She’s married to NFL running back Tevin Coleman. In the episode, Kenya went on to describe Akilah as one of her “dearest friends.”
When speaking to The Daily Dish, Kenya shared the important role Akilah is playing in her life. “I’m building my village. I’ve got my immediate family that’s there. My Aunty Lori, who we all know and love, and my cousin, but I am also building friends,” she noted, sharing that Akilah has been a great support for her. “Our children used to go to the same school, and that’s how we met, and she lives like three minutes away from me, so if there’s ever anything I need, I can just call her, and our children are just so great together. So she’s been added to my little package, my little village. And then, of course, I expanded on my au pairs so that I can have a little bit more time off on the weekend, so if I want to go out on a date or go have a lunch or just have a spa day to myself, I have the time to do it now.”
