Valentine’s Day brought romance and luxury for Porsha Williams, who celebrated her first February 14 with girlfriend Patrice “Sway” McKinney in a way that confirmed what many fans have been speculating for months: the Real Housewives of Atlanta star is in love.
The couple, who reportedly began dating about six months ago, marked the holiday with a mutual exchange of lavish gifts and intimate moments shared publicly. Sway surprised Porsha with multiple Birkin bags, while Porsha returned the gesture with jewelry. The photos from their celebration captured a softer, more relaxed side of the reality star, signaling a new chapter following a year of major personal changes.
Porsha first made her relationship public in November 2025 during a birthday tribute to McKinney. After months of speculation, the confirmation shifted the conversation around the veteran reality star, whose personal life has long played out in front of viewers. This Valentine’s Day marked their first as an exclusive couple, and they leaned fully into what they have described online as a “princess treatment” dynamic built on mutual appreciation.
For Porsha Williams, the relationship represents a significant shift. Following her public divorce, she openly shared her difficulty with vulnerability and rebuilding trust. McKinney, an Atlanta-based entrepreneur and founder of Encore Salon Suites, built her business from the ground up. Williams has described her as a supportive and grounded partner, someone who brings stability during a transitional season of her life.
The couple’s decision to celebrate openly also places Williams in potentially historic territory within the Bravo franchise. If her relationship continues to unfold on camera, she could become the first Housewife on The Real Housewives of Atlanta to openly explore a bisexual relationship on the show. That possibility has already sparked conversation among fans who are eager to see how her story develops in the upcoming season, which is rumored to premiere in May.
What began as quiet speculation has evolved into a public affirmation. Early assumptions that the relationship might serve as a storyline have faded as the season wrapped and the couple continued to appear comfortable and consistent.
As the next season approaches, viewers are watching closely. For now, Valentine’s Day offered a clear message that Porsha Williams is in love, and she is not hiding it.
