Unfortunately, their relationship was not without controversy; Simon was previously married to another RHOA familiar face Falynn Guobadia, and many fans wondered if there'd been overlap in the relationships.
"For all of you that need facts, I get the optics but Simon filed for divorce from a previous marriage in January. I had nothing to do with their divorce filing. That’s between the two of them. Falynn and I are not friends, and Simon’s divorce has been settled," explained Porsha in a May 2021 Instagram post announcing their engagement.
