Porsha Williams Says Her Boyfriend Told Her He Loved Her the Day They Met

“The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Porsha Williams says her boyfriend held nothing back regarding his feelings for her when they met several months ago.

While discussing Ariana Grande’s swift engagement to comedian Pete Davidson, who told the singer on the day they met that he’d marry her tomorrow, one of Williams’ “Dish Nation” co-hosts balked. But the RHOA star said the “Saturday Night Live” cast member was “my kind of man.”

“Ain’t nothing wrong with that, that man knew what he wanted … I won’t marry him literally tomorrow,” Williams says of the instant push for marriage. “But my boyfriend told me he loved me on the first day that we, like, met. And he meant it.”

“If I was lookin’ at you I would tell you I love you too,” Marcille replied comically.

Meanwhile, fans of the entertainment news show chimed in to give their thoughts on quick admissions of love.

“Hubby said the same thing. Been married for 9 yrs❤️.”

“Lust at first sight, but not love.”

“I agree with Eva 100% I would too F—–‘ Rite.”

It seems Dennis McKinley may not be too far off from what Davidson did, however. Before Williams went public with her boo and officially confirmed who he was, the duo was caught by TMZ photographers walking out of Leon Diamond jewelry store in New York City.

When Williams was asked about why the couple was in the store, she brushed off chatter about possibly looking at engagement rings by saying, “We were just looking at everything.”

Still, the Atlanta-based serial entrepreneur indicated he would want to make things official with his girlfriend with a trip down the aisle.

He wrote on Instagram back in June, “He who finds one of these, finds a good thing!”

It was McKinley’s spin on the Bible verse Proverbs 18:22 which says, “He who finds a wife finds a good thing.”

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.
