Porsha Williams and Simon Guobadia’s marriage is coming to an end more than a year after they tied the knot.
The The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum filed for divorce from Guobadia on Thursday in Atlanta, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE.
The news of their split comes as rumors about Guobadia’s status as a citizen circulate online. However, a source tells PEOPLE that the divorce is “not related to the recent allegations involving Simon’s past.”
The cause of their split is an “ongoing matter”, adds the insider.
Williams, 42, and Guobadia, 59, said “I do” in November 2022 in a Nigerian traditional indigenous law and custom ceremony followed by an American ceremony in Atlanta.
The couple announced their engagement in May 2021 after a month of dating. “Yes, we are madly in love,” Williams wrote alongside a selfie with Guobadia. “I know it’s fast, but every day we live life to the fullest. Every morning and every night I choose happiness.”
