On Friday, November 25, American reality TV star, Porsha Williams tied the knot with her boo, Simon Guobadia, in a Nigerian traditional wedding.

According to People, the couple had their ceremony at the Four Seasons Hotel Atlanta in front of 250 guests.

The report further states that The 41-year-old Real Housewives of Atlanta star and Guobadia, 57, will tie the knot again in an American ceremony on Saturday.

Photos of the couple in their traditional looks, exclusive to People, have surfaced on social media.

In the photos, Porsha is seen dressed in an extravagant strapless velvet dress which she paired with coral beads and a hair crown adorned with jewelry.

Her husband sported a white two-piece ensemble with coral beads as well. Both looks were in honour of Guobadia’s Benin heritage.

Designer behind Prosha’s Edo dress shares interesting details

In a chat with newsmen, Lakimmy recounted how emotional she got when the American reality TV star reached out to her to make the dresses.

“She had so many other options but she chose us! I was surprised to know our designs are loved by so many across the globe!”

Porsha’s first look: Red velvet Edo bridal look

The designer states that Porsha wanted to appear looking like a complete Edo bride and left no stone unturned.

“She did her research even before contacting us and she knew it has to be an all-velvet dress. She wanted over-the-top, dramatic structured, well-detailed and a form-fitted dress that hug her curves nicely.”

Lakimmy says the right amount of jewellery embellishment was added which is very different from the usual and also created a structural skirt to suit Porsha’s huge personality.

Details on Porsha’s second traditional wedding dress

For the second look, Porsha rocked a gorgeous bedazzled cream dress which the designer revealed was picked by the star from their previous collection.

She, however, wanted hers a little over-the-top with more bling and crystal.

The regal dress was a fully beaded Bbouse with asymmetric structured sleeves and a detachable dramatic ruffled skirt.

It also featured a fully blinged-out fitted skirt that reveals a thigh-high parting when the zipper in front is open.

“The essence is to transform Porsha from the glamorous bridal look into a more comfortable look ideal for the after party.”

Porsha’s reaction to seeing her dresses and duration it took to make

Lakimmy reveals that despite having a virtual consultation with Porsha and no fitting was done, the dresses fit perfectly.

“Her reaction was priceless!!! She was so excited after receiving her dress and it fitted just right requiring no form of alteration whatsoever!”

The designer reveals that the dresses took about nine months from design conception to finishing. Described as an exclusive design, she says it required about 25 skilled craftsmen and women.

However, a cost estimate for the dresses was not given. On her experience working on the dresses, Lakimmy had this to say:

“I enjoyed putting up this masterpiece together! The most exciting experience was Porsha trusted us completely throughout the process! She is every designer’s dream!”

Peter Okoye, the Nigerian singer and songwriter popularly known as Mr P, has officially announced a change to his birthday celebration date.

This is an action which is now seen as a deep break from his twin brother, Paul Okoye.

In a post shared via his X account on Monday, the artist declared that November 18 will no longer be recognized as his birthday.

“I’m making it official. November 18th is no longer my birthday celebration date. Please note that I will not be accepting any messages or gifts on that day,” he wrote.

He added, “My birthday will now be celebrated on November 30th. This is a personal decision, and I truly appreciate your understanding.”

The announcement comes amid a lingering and increasingly public feud involving his twin brother Paul and their elder brother and former manager, Jude Okoye.

Members of the once known as P-Square, Peter and Paul went their separate ways following intense disputes over management, finances, and allegations of betrayal.

Despite their much-publicized reunion in 2021, problems resurfaced, with Peter accusing Paul and Jude of marginalization and financial misconduct, while Paul countered by alleging that Peter reported them to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The long-running tension escalated in June 2025 when Peter declared he had completely severed ties with his family particularly his brothers.
