Kandi Burrus and Porsha Williams’ Blossoming Friendship Overshadows Shamea Morton’s Gender Reveal Party

Kandi Burruss and Porsha Williams continue to make strides in their relationship as “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” stars were both guests at Shamea Morton’s gender reveal party.

The pair even was on the same page about what gender they thought Morton, an RHOA friend of the show, was having.

“It’s a boy,” Burruss says in the below clip as she shows off her blue strappy heels.

“Team boy, team boy,” agrees Williams, who sported a blue Adidas jacket. “I told you from the moment of conception … when you told me, how you handled it I said, ‘It’s a boy.'”

Morton said she heard that a lot and Williams and Burruss pointed out she’s actually lost weight during her pregnancy.

Meanwhile, fans were jumping for joy at the women’s bonding moment.

“This makes me so happy! I always enjoyed their friendship.”

“I’m so happy for this growth! I just hope it continues @kandi @porsha4real 💖💕.”

“Love this ❤.”

“You can tell how sweet and genuine Kandi really is. I’d never speak to Porsha again.”

Although Burruss and Williams were chummy during the party — where Morton was ultimately revealed to be having a baby girl — things weren’t always so peachy between the two peach holders.

In the ninth season of RHOA, Williams was told that Burruss wanted to drug her to take advantage of her sexually by former close pal Phaedra Parks.

“I repeated it because I heard it,” Parks explained during the tearful reunion in 2017. “Something was brought to me. I just repeated it. I repeated what someone told me. I’m not saying I didn’t say it. I’m saying I repeated it.”

The admission led Williams and Burruss to walk off the set in tears and Parks was booted from the cast.

While Parks and Burruss aren’t exactly friendly, Burruss turned over a new leaf with Williams after the pair spent time together for season 11 shooting in Miami. The singer followed Williams on Instagram with the latter later returning the favor.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
