NeNe Leakes is stepping out publicly with a new romance, and this time she is not keeping it low-key. The former The Real Housewives of Atlanta star was spotted sharing a kiss with Memphis attorney Arthur Horne III during a recent Memphis Grizzlies game, confirming what many fans suspected — she has a new man.
Video obtained by TMZ shows NeNe and Horne walking out of the arena Wednesday night when he leans in and plants a kiss on her. Earlier in the evening, the pair were seated courtside, sitting close and appearing affectionate throughout the game. Witnesses told the outlet they were “hugged up” and “really touchy-feely,” leaving little doubt that the outing was romantic.
Horne runs his own law firm in Memphis, where he practices criminal defense and personal injury law. The public appearance comes shortly after a fan-captured video showed NeNe hurrying to the Atlanta airport in her Rolls-Royce, reportedly on her way to Memphis to spend time with him.
The sighting marks a new chapter for NeNe, whose personal life has played out publicly over the years. She was married to Gregg Leakes from 1997 to 2011 before the couple remarried in 2013. They remained together until Gregg’s death from colon cancer in September 2021. The couple shares a son, Brentt, and NeNe is also the mother to Bryson.
Following Gregg’s passing, NeNe began dating fashion entrepreneur Nyonisela Sioh later that year. Their relationship drew headlines amid legal issues involving his estranged wife. By 2023, Nene confirmed they were taking a break, though rumors of reconciliation circulated afterward.
NeNe Leakes, one of the original cast members of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, has long been a fixture in reality television. After an abrupt exit from the franchise, she was later rehired to appear on Bravo’s “The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th.”
Now, with a courtside kiss and a confident public appearance, NeNe appears comfortable embracing her latest relationship in full view.
