Porsha Williams has been hinting at a new romance for some time now and internet sleuths may have finally pinned down her mystery beau.

After some dirt digging and tattoo matching, blog reports claim the man is super successful businessman Dennis McKinley. McKinley’s IG account (@workwincelebrate), which is set to private, pegs him as an entrepreneur with businesses across Atlanta and Detroit, including Cru Hookah Lounge and The Original Hot Dog Factory. It also includes a link to his investment website, DetroitEquities.com.

The “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star has shared several photos and videos mentioning her new love recently, including a now-deleted birthday post showing a portion of his tattooed chest and wrist. It didn’t take long for folks to figure out who he was.

The revelation comes just weeks after Williams spoke candidly about her struggle finding “the one,” revealing she almost gave up on love altogether. She joked about becoming a lonely cat lady for the rest of her life before falling for McKinley.

“And that’s how it happens — it’s always when you’re not looking anymore,” she said. “It’s when you go ahead and give up … I stopped looking, and he arrived. I gave up, honey, and bought cats online. They on the way, Ima have to cancel the order. I was ready to just let it go.”

The RHOA star also recently debuted a sleek, auburn hair-do on Instagram last week with the caption, “He said he liked it red.” The post was followed by the hashtag #DM, which is speculated to stand for McKinley’s initials.

Now that the cat’s out of the bag, will the smitten 37-year-old finally go public with her new relationship?

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.

Give once Give monthly Support another way

Still independent.
