Kandi Burruss, Kenya Moore, Quad Webb, Gizelle Bryant, and more also sounded off on the news.

Who said that Porsha Williams Guobadia is officially coming back to The Real Housewives of Atlanta for the upcoming 16th season?

Porsha herself did.

On February 13, the Atlanta peach confirmed in a statement that she would be coming back to the show less than three years after she first exited.

“I’m incredibly thankful for the vision and faith NBCUniversal has put in me to be a larger part of their family,” Porsha said. “I’m looking forward to being back on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and showing the world my new world!”

As she mentioned in her statement, a lot has changed for Porsha since viewers last saw her on RHOA.

She tied the knot with Nigerian businessman Simon Guboadia in November 2022, and her daughter, Pilar Jhena “PJ” McKinley is now four years old (and in school!).

Porsha isn’t the only person who is feeling “thankful” about her return. During the February 13 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, host Andy Cohen reacted to the exciting news, and Porsha’s sister, Lauren Williams, also sounded off. Plus, a slew of Bravolebrities expressed their thoughts on her comeback as well.

The WWHL host took a few minutes at the end of the February 13 episode to share his excitement for Porsha’s return to RHOA. 

“It’s time for my Mazel of the day, it goes to the news — this is so good — that Porsha Guobadia will be making her triumphant return to The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” Andy said during the closing moments of the episode. “This is such a huge moment.”

He also reacted to the news in the comments section of Porsha’s own announcement post.

“Told you it was a pause!” he wrote along with a series of crying laughing emojis, clapping emojis and fire emojis. He also added a hashtag for “Season 16.”

Bravolebrities Sound Off on the News that Porsha Williams Guobadia Will Be on RHOA Season 16

On the same day that news broke about her return to RHOA, Porsha shared an Instagram video confirming the report.

“Who said that? Porsha Williams coming back to [The] Real Housewives of Atlanta?” she began in her video. “That’s false, but Porsha Guobadia is in the building. See y’all!”

In the caption of her post, Porsha wrote, “Season 16 Lets Gooooo. Are y’all READY?!”

Her younger sister, Lauren Williams, re-posted the video on her own page, adding the caption, “Who said that?!?! [Porsha Williams] [The] Real Housewives of Atlanta. Season Sweet 16.”

Several other Bravolebrities took to the comments section to share words of support for the mom of one.

“Come on Sweet 16,” Kenya Moore wrote.

The Real Housewives of Potomac’s Gizelle Bryant commented, “[Let] the games begin.”

Marysol Patton, who appeared alongside Porsha and Gizelle on The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Season 3 wrote, “Yipee [Porsha].”

“We love a comeback,” Tamra Judge wrote, while Married to Medicine’s Quad Webb shared, “Yaaaaaaaaaaaasss put some respect on the ‘G.'”

Kandi Burruss, who announced her departure from RHOA about a week earlier, showed her support for Porsha by commenting clapping hands emojis.
