‘Kenya Must Really LOVE Food’: Kenya Moore Is Reportedly Dating Another Restaurateur, Says She’s ‘A Little Afraid’ to Fall In Love Again Amid Pending Split from Marc Daly

Some people may have a physical type when dating, but it appears to fans of reality TV star Kenya Moore that she has a career type. 

“The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star reportedly has a new boo in her life, and he is a restaurant owner just like her estranged husband, Marc Daly

According to The U.S. Sun, Moore has found herself an Israeli entrepreneur from Atlanta. Roi Shlomo is a 40-something-year-old who is featured in the upcoming season of “RHOA.”

Per the outlet, Shlomo owns multiple businesses such as Kale Me Crazy, which launched in 2013, and currently has 24 other locations. A West Hollywood, California, spot of the eatery is set to be opening soon.

This specific franchise reportedly has an estimated worth of $13.4 million.

Shlomo has also founded Turks & Caicos’ Aziza Restaurant & Lounge and ATL’s Kanvas Event Space, which launched in 2022. In 2014, he sold his frozen yogurt company, Yogli Mogli. 

According to his Instagram, he has one daughter whom he described as “his heart.” 

After Moore’s new possible romance hit the Hollywood Unlocked Instagram page, several fans suggested that the Miss USA winner has a thing for restaurateurs. 

“She loves herself a restaurant owner”

“Lmao Kenya must really LOVE food, cause not another Restauranteur”

“If there is anything Ken is going to do is date a restaurant owner. They look good together, though.” 

“She obviously has a type!”

While news about the budding romance has not yet been confirmed by Moore or Shlomo, fans can see the mom of one showing the ladies her rumored boo in the “RHOA” trailer.

In March, LoveBScott exclusively reported that Moore was introduced to her new love interest by Monyetta Shaw, the ex-fiancée of singer Ne-Yo. 

Though this seems like an exciting new venture, the 52-year-old recently told People Magazine that she is currently hesitant to fall in love again following her separation from Daly. 

“I’m focusing on myself now, which includes being able to go out and date,” she shared. “Do I want to fall in love and have a serious relationship? I’m a little afraid of that.” 

Noting that she doesn’t want to “move too fast,” Moore admitted that it’s a nice feeling to be able to go out and experience the dating pool. 

“It’s like you have a nice dinner,” she said, “or meet someone that’s really cool and you guys, it doesn’t have to be love.” 

Though she’s taking things slow, Moore remains optimistic about finding her Prince Charming. 

She shared, “I think it will present itself when it’s time, but I just don’t want to ever feel like so many people feel when they’re single and they’re of a certain age.”  

Before she stepped back out into the dating world, Moore was in a committed relationship with the SoCo owner. They married in 2017, but soon separated in 2019. She finally filed in 2021, and reportedly has since been on a long journey to get their split finalized. 

Though there have been a few hold-ups regarding their proceedings, Moore and Daly are scheduled to appear in court on May 22.

Fans can witness the possible love connection between Shlomo and Moore during season 15 of “RHOA,” which premieres this Sunday, May 7 at 8 p.m. EST on Bravo.

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.
