Porsha Williams and Girlfriend Patrice 'Sway' McKinney Step Out Together at 2026 BET Awards

Porsha Williams arrived at the 2026 BET Awards with her girlfriend Patrice "Sway" McKinney on Sunday, June 28, marking the couple's official red carpet debut. The event took place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.

The 45-year-old Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member turned heads in a plunging green Marc Bouwer gown, while McKinney, founder of Encore Salon Suites in Atlanta, complemented the evening in a black suit embellished with silver chains.

The awards show drew several notable Bravo personalities, including Porsha's RHOA costar Kelli Ferrell and Candiace Dillard Bassett from Real Housewives of Potomac.

Williams first publicly confirmed her relationship with McKinney in October 2025, revealing she was dating both a man and a woman. The following month, she made the relationship official on social media with an Instagram debut timed to her birthday celebration.

This marks Williams' first official romance since concluding her divorce from entrepreneur Simon Guobadia in June 2025. The former couple had married 15 months prior, after Williams filed for divorce in February 2024. Guobadia, 62, is a Nigerian businessman.

Looking ahead, Williams will appear in the upcoming Real Housewives franchise series The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th, set to premiere on August 9, alongside other housewives from across the network.
