Porsha Williams has lived her romantic life in front of the world since she was first introduced to The Real Housewives of Atlanta cast in Season 5. Porsha's love life has always been front and center and through it all, she's shown resilience at every stage of love. In fact, at that time of her first season on RHOA back in 2012, she was married to former football pro, Kordell Stewart.
Not long after her debut season, the pair eventually divorced in 2013 — and Porsha has never been shy, even after their split, to reflect on that time in her life.

"When I was sitting on that couch [at the reunion], and I had asked my ex[-husband Kordell Stewart] to come to the reunion, and he didn't come, I was like 'Lord, this is big.'... I literally was doing everything," she said, adding to a fan when asked what her advice to her Season 1 self would be: "'Girl, you ain't gonna get fired. You ain't gonna get fired by Andy [Cohen]. You're gonna still be there, girl,'"
