It’s official: Porsha Williams is no longer on the dating market.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member clarified her relationship status just days after going Instagram official with her new girlfriend, Patrice “Sway” McKinney. Porsha dished on the budding romance in a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, revealing the big step she and Patrice took during the holidays.
“Thanksgiving came around, she was like, ‘Yeah, I’m gonna cater,’ and I was like, ‘You know, me, too,’” Porsha recalled. “We were coming back from Miami, and I was like, ‘Let’s just do it together!’ So we did. We got our families together. We had a bomb Thanksgiving. When I tell you, we had a ball — we were karaoke-ing, playing games, eating good food. It just all felt good.”
Porsha Williams has been dating Patrice “Sway” McKinney for “a while”
Porsha told the outlet she had been dating the salon founder “for a while,” but did not provide an exact timeframe. She teased the same-sex relationship during an October 5 CultureCon panel in Brooklyn, saying she was involved with a man and a woman at the time.
“I think, before, I had mentioned, ‘He is nice, and she is nice,’” Porsha said, referring to her CultureCon comments. “So, I started to focus more on her. And, so, we were dating pretty solid.”
