Nigerian businessman Simon Guobadia has made startling new claims amid his ongoing divorce from “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Porsha Williams.
In an Instagram post, Guobadia alleges that his three minor children are currently homeless, while Porsha and her daughter, Pilar, continue to reside in the home the former couple shared before their split.
He began, “I would like to publicly thank the mother’s of my 3 minor children who have stepped up to provide cover for our minor children. We are into the 3rd month of litigation, without proper visitation.These women have played their part as co-parents, and are now asked to do more, with the added burden of caring for my children when they are supposed to be in my care. My children are growing and maturing everyday and unfortunately do not have the benefit of my presence.”
Porsha Williams filed for divorce from Guobadia in February, marking the end of their 15-month marriage. Simon’s post revealed the deep emotional toll the separation has taken on him and his children.
He continued, “Seemingly, everyone wants to focus on everything but what’s important in a family; especially when it comes to children and co-parenting. I have had joint physical custody of my kids for 5 years. Those boys are in my home 2 weeks out of the month. I also have visitation rights to my daughter who is 11 years old and lives in California; and last minute had to be diverted to Dubai for Spring Break. She was ultimately out of a home for 3 weeks during Spring break. All 3 kids currently displaced. I would like each and every one of you, especially those with kids, pray for me and my family. They deserve consideration as well.”
In a separate post, Guobadia also stressed the need for clarity regarding his immigration status.
“I realize there is much misinformation surrounding my impending divorce, and the recurring one is about the benefits of US Citizenship vs US Permanent Residency, which I have been one for 34 years. Hopefully, the above brings some educational clarity to the masses,” he wrote.
Simon Guobadia, who was denied US citizenship due to his criminal past, has five children: Ximena, Benjamin, Christian, Nicole, and Quentin.
