Fans Suspect Porsha Williams and Her Fiancé Dennis McKinley Are ‘Back On’ After the Star Sports Her 13-Carat Engagement Ring

Porsha Williams is seemingly planning to walk down the aisle after all! The reality star from “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” hinted that her engagement to Dennis McKinley is still intact just day after the two appeared to have broken up.

Porsha looked fabulous in a photo she posted to Instagram on Tuesday, Aug. 18, that showed her wearing an olive green long-sleeved mini dress that hugged her curves in all the right ways. Her burgundy hair was swooped to one side and curled to her shoulders. The 39-year-old “Dish Nation” talent opted for a glammed-up makeup look, featuring a sexy smokey eye with nude lipstick. Porsha sported gold dangling earrings and her engagement ring, making her $750,000 13-carat diamond the center of attention.

Almost instantly, people reacted to the photo and expressed the idea that Porsha and Dennis rekindled their relationship. One user asked: “Who else zoomed in on the ring #blacklove,” while another person admitted: “I did. I guess they back on.” Other fans wrote comments like “Dennis act right she 🔥🔥🔥” and “That ring is everything! Glad to see ya’ll are back together😍.”

Porsha’s post comes one week after the pair unfollowed each other on Instagram after the mother of one wrote a cryptic message on social media that read: “You was really really lucky, RELAX.” While the pair didn’t directly confirm the break-up rumors, this isn’t the first time the two parted ways. Last year the restaurant owner revealed to Porsha during a couples therapy session that he cheated on her during and after her pregnancy with their now 1-year-old daughter Pilar Jhena’ McKinley  because of the intimacy issues he experienced while she was pregnant and the stress he internalized from dealing with her postpartum depression.

The founder of Pampered by Porsha forgave Dennis for his infidelity months later and the couple still had plans to tie the knot even though they had not yet set a wedding date.

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.
