Is Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Drew Sidora Dating Black? Fans Continue to Speculate After Porsha Williams’ Bombshell

The Real Housewives of Atlanta is no stranger to surprise breakups, dramatic shade, or couples that leave us scratching our heads. Drew Sidora and Ralph Pittman were the couple. Together, they were an unbalanced mess of mostly toxic masculinity. But Drew tried her best to salvage her marriage. As the new season continues to surprise us, fans are wondering if Drew has found herself a new man in Black. Yes, just Black. Just one name, like Cher, Madonna, or someone who definitely has a velvet rope section in the club. Fans have been spiraling ever since Porsha Williams casually dropped the tea. And now the question on everyone’s mind is: who is Black, and is Drew really dating him?

Drew Sidora denies she’s in a relationship

During the episode aptly entitled “Reset,” Drew and Porsha tried to sort through their hilltop of issues. You would think Grenada would be a place where the girls banded together. But not for P and Drew. The crux of the issue stems from Porsha’s anger about Drew filming with Dennis McKinley. However, Drew is confused since Porsha just filmed a scene with Ralph. During their discussion, Drew tries to remind Porsha that she is single and going through a very messy divorce. 

However, Porsha keeps throwing one name out there into the ether. Black has come up time and time again, and Porsha has usually been the culprit. Drew tries to point out nicely that she, too, can drop names, but Porsha persists. However, the kernel has been planted in fans’ minds, and now most of us can’t help but question if Drew is being sincere. And let’s not forget, Drew’s recent separation from Ralph has been anything but quiet. From courtroom drama to emotional breakdowns on RHOA, Drew has been through it. So if she is dating someone new, we’re not mad; we just want the details. For investigative purposes, obviously.   

Who is “Black” and is Drew from Real Housewives of Atlanta really dating him?

So, who exactly is Black? The name has been floating around Atlanta’s rumor mill for a minute, but thanks to Porsha’s recent reveal, it went from whisper to full-on Bravo headline. According to his Instagram profile, Black, we might be spelling it wrong, as he has “Blakk” in his bio. Drew’s new friend is the founder and CEO of BlakkSmoke, an elite line of hookah pens. He’s been featured in GQ and Forbes, so he looks pretty legit. Black isn’t living in Atlanta and currently resides in Los Angeles. He also seems low-key. Think less red carpet, more behind-the-scenes VIP.

On a recent Real Housewives of Atlanta episode, Drew opened up a tiny bit about her not-boyfriend. She told cameras, “It’s just a friendship. We talk on the phone, we laugh, he gives me business advice, and that’s really it.” However, Drew did admit to flirting a little with Black. But she quickly circled back around, noting they were “just getting to know each other,” since “he lives in a different state.” Even though Drew looked like she was blushing, she kept her cards close to her chest. “It’s just somebody that I consider to be a friend, and that’s really all that it is. He’s single and dating,” she shared. 

How did Porsha find out that Drew has a boyfriend?

Neither Drew nor Black has confirmed the relationship outright, but that hasn’t stopped fans from connecting the dots faster than a reunion editor with flashback footage. The two have reportedly been spotted together at a few semi-private events. Fans have also spotted them out in the wild. But when it comes to how Porsha was given the information, the jury is still out. All we know is P has eyes and ears everywhere.

During their conversation in Grenada, Porsha casually dropped the information, noting that Dennis wanted to make it clear he wasn’t the one hooking up with Drew. The mother of one smirked as she said, “The guy, Black, who you’re dating or whatever.” Drew was clearly taken aback as she responded, “My friend? I would not jeopardize my future with my kids to start dating. I’m going through a divorce.” She reiterated, “That’s a friend. Listen, I’m not dating anybody. I don’t have a boyfriend. So, for the record, we’re gonna clear that.” When producers asked how she knew, Porsha noted, “Dennis told me.” But upon realizing she made a mistake, she added, ”Did I say that before? Is that new? Ooh, was I not supposed to say that? Can y’all take that out?”
