The “blurred lines” between Porsha Williams and Dennis McKinley became perhaps more apparent than ever when the co-parents came together to turn one of their daughter Pilar Jhena “PJ” McKinley’s dreams into a reality on The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
How to Watch
Dennis showed up at Porsha’s house during Season 17, Episode 4, so they could meet with a set designer who was working on an in-home podcast studio for the whole family. “Dennis and I aren’t just co-parenting PJ,” Porsha explained in a confessional. “We’re now co-parenting a podcast for PJ together. I’m also rebooting my podcast with my sister, Porsha4Real.”
While discussing their 7-year-old’s “whole vision” for her podcast and YouTube channel, Porsha mistakenly called her ex “babe,” but swiftly corrected herself. “The slip-up is muscle memory and, slightly, what’s in the cup, she joked to a producer. “It won’t happen again.”

Dennis, meanwhile, began to take a little too much interest in Porsha’s relationship with new “friend-friend,” Mike Bless (aka Michael Anthony) for her liking, leading her to remind her ex-fiancé that their relationship is not “personal,” but strictly “business.”
“We aren’t together,” she told him, before joking in an interview, “Can y’all afford to clear ‘Blurred Lines’? Slide that in there.”
An argument ensued between Porsha and Dennis, leading her to eventually declare, “I’m gonna make an executive decision. We’re not doing the YouTube together. Because I’m not gonna be doing business with you, and you’re bringing up my personal life.”

Immediately upon his arrival, Dennis spotted and took a particular interest in an oversized arrangement of roses, which were a gift from Mike. “When you are co-parenting, you don’t need extra triggers, because if Dennis is sensitive about anything, it’s Chanel and flowers, OK?” Porsha pointed out. “So, for him to see those flowers, I knew he was about to go up.”
She quickly snatched and hid the attached card, which had “I Want You” printed on the outside, causing Dennis to become even more curious. So, when Porsha was distracted with her set designer, he went and found the card, but her sister, Lauren Williams, intervened and eventually returned Mike’s mini love note to her.
Porsha began questioning Dennis, at which point he revealed that not only did he suspect that she was dating Mike, but that he also lived in the same building as him.
However, Porsha clarified in an interview setup, “Number one, I did not spend the night over there at Mike’s house, OK? Number two, I don’t even know if they lived in the building at the same time, and if they did, that is not when I was talking to Mike. And three, Dennis doesn’t even live over there anymore. He lives in his home with his girlfriend.”

Regardless, Dennis justified his inserting himself into Porsha’s romantic life by saying that she doesn’t make “good decisions” when it comes to who she dates and could use his help.
“I was married for a year and a half, and I was with him for three-and-a-half years!” a fired-up Porsha clapped back. “You choose to ignore my marriage. And that’s where the disrespect comes in. That’s why you keep talking about “dating.” I’ve only dated this one other person.”
Following more bickering back and forth on the subject, that’s when Porsha walked back her decision to collaborate with Dennis on the podcast.
Porsha Williams and Mike discuss a possible “dealbreaker” in their romance
Earlier in RHOA‘s April 26 episode, Mike had also paid his own visit to Porsha’s home, at which point she unpacked her current relationship status as it related to him, as well as Patrice “Sway” McKinney, in a confessional.
“Mike is very sweet, and Sway is fine as hell,” Porsha explained. “But right now, I’m just dating and enjoying the company of someone who admires me and who is entertaining to me.”
During their meetup, Mike comforted Porsha as she opened up about the “emotional” pending sale of her former home in Duluth, Ga. At the time, she told a producer, “The way he’s been approaching me has been really genuine. You don’t gotta have the remedy; just hear me — and put them big pecs on my cheeks.”
So, she decided it was time to have a pivotal heart-to-heart with Mike. “You know I’m 44 and I’ve had two marriages, I’ve had a fiancé, and I have a child,” Porsha said. “I’ve done a lot more than you have. I know you gonna be a good dad…”
Clocking what she was getting at, Mike replied, “So are you saying you don’t want to have children?” Instead of answering directly, Porsha asked, “How would you feel about that?”
Mike’s cryptic response: “That could be a dealbreaker.”
