‘RHOA’ Season 17 Trailer Features Porsha Williams Finding Love

Bravo recently released the trailer for the upcoming 17th season of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” In it, not only do fans get a taste of the drama between the cast, including some new ladies, but they’re also introduced to Porsha Williams’ two love interests. This comes as she is going steady in real time with one of the two people featured. 

Bravo released the trailer for “RHOA” season 17 on February 24. The network teased the show, saying, “With fan favorites and new faces joining the mix, friendships are pushed to their limits. Atlanta is hotter, bolder, and more unpredictable than ever, and keeping it peachy is the ultimate challenge.”

In the trailer, longtime cast member Williams is seen navigating her life post-divorce from Simon Guobadia. She says as she sits on a man’s lap, “I didn’t expect God to send a six-five-tall man with big arms and tattoos.” After that, she then introduced her costars to whom she calls her “friend” Patrice “Sway” McKinney.

Regarding her romantic life, the trailer then features Williams and McKinney seemingly discussing their future together, with McKinney mentioning not going overboard with playing the field.

Elsewhere in the trailer, Williams appears to have a verbal altercation with one of her costars, Kelli Ferrell. Williams asked Ferrell, “You haven’t slept with a married man?” This prompts the second season “RHOA” star to say, “No, I have not,” before Williams asserts, “You absolutely did.”

Later, the ladies seem to be at a group dinner, and Ferrell can be heard saying that Williams had been romantically involved with “every Nigerian in Atlanta.” This part of the trailer then ended with Williams leaving the dinner, shouting down to Ferrell, “Sit the f–k down.”

After the newly released trailer was released online, fans of the long-running Bravo series weighed in, with many commenting on Williams. One person joked, “Well damn Porsha. Just how many Nigerian men are in Atlanta?” Someone else said, “I’m so here for it. Porsha’s new boo, Kelli vs Porsha, Drew vs K Michelle, and so much more.”

Another “RHOA” fan questioned, “Was Porsha dating the Ready to Love guy with the beard….. tough times, I guess.” Someone else reacted to the trailer itself, writing, “Ohh this looks promising, I’m seated for the mess.” Finally, another person said, “Looks so good. Excited for the return of the Porsha show. Plus Phaedra’s first full season back and the iconic K Michelle.”

In October 2025, PEOPLE reported that Williams spoke about her love life on a panel. She said at the time, “It’s been the hardest year of my life.” However, she later went Instagram official with her girlfriend, McKinney, with several photos and videos of them together, including on in front of a Christmas tree.

She said in the caption, “Happiest Birthday @sway_thepro. Hope this year continues to bring you everything you want and more! Can’t wait to act up Saturday!” Williams then spoke to Entertainment Tonight in December 2025 about the relationship. According to her, “So, we’ve been dating for a while now. You know, before I think I mentioned ‘he is nice, and she is nice,’ so I started to focus more on her, so we were dating pretty solidly, and Thanksgiving came around.”

After that, Williams stated that they decided to spend Thanksgiving together, saying, “We had a bomb Thanksgiving.” Regarding the status of their relationship, she revealed, “We are very close. Definitely still dating. We’re exclusive. I don’t want to put too much pressure on it. You know, I move really fast. The next time you see me, I might be engaged.”
