RHOA's Porsha Williams shared an emotional update on her estranged husband's relationship with her daughter today.
Porsha Williams and Simon Guobadia's ongoing divorce took another heartbreaking turn on The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
As seen during a group lunch with Kelli Ferrell, Shamea Morton, Angela Oakley, and Drew Sidora in RHOA Season 16, Episode 6, Porsha shared that she fantasizes about a world where she and Simon could divorce and then "come together" and have an amicable relationship. "We have a family at the end of the day," she pointed out.
When Angela asked if she would ever consider trying to work things out with Simon, however, the answer was a firm no. "You cannot discard my child," Porsha asserted.
That's when she revealed to the ladies that her 6-year-old daughter, Pilar Jhena "PJ" McKinley (whom she shares with ex Dennis McKinley), had been asking about Simon's whereabouts. The mom said that she explained her estranged husband's absence as him being "away at work." When Pilar questioned how long Simon would be gone, she told her "for some time," but promised to check in with him for an update.
"I couldn't even breathe," Porsha tearfully lamented, adding that she had already texted Simon to let him know Pilar was asking about him. "His read receipts are on, and he literally read it and never responded. And I was just like, 'Wow.' Like, we're talking about the kids."

The emotional moment with Pilar turned out to be a game-changer for Porsha.
"One of the main things that attracted me to Simon was feeling safe. I felt, you know, secure in my life with him being with Pilar. Like, everything felt right," she said in a confessional. "He presented this entire life in person that I have been looking for. And that mirror was shattered because it just wasn't real."
As Porsha summed up, "I'm now to the place where I feel like I don't love him anymore because the person who I am mourning is not there."
Porsha Williams planned to have a baby with Simon Guobadia
Later in the episode, Porsha met up with Shamea for tea and a round of miniature golf, when the latter asked "what's going on with" the embryo she and Simon have frozen.
"We gotta move past all of this, and then we'll get to that part," Porsha told her longtime BFF, referencing her and Simon's contentious split.
"One thing about divorce, it affects everything," she added in a confessional. "Your future and your hopes are tied with this one person. And part of that was Simon and I expanding our family. And I just decided not to deal with that right now."
Though Porsha had been grappling with Simon airing their dirty laundry on social media, she claimed that was hardly her main concern either.
"Listen, at the end of the day, I don't give a s--t what he posts online," she further claimed. "He knows what happened between us. I know for a fact if I were to be able to sit and just look at him and talk to him, there would be no way we would continue where we are. But he doesn't want that. He wants to remain at war because he wants to be a star. I'm at war with an influencer husband. That's where I am now."
Are Porsha Williams and Simon Guobadia still married?
Though Porsha filed to divorce Simon more than a year ago, she revealed on the March 9 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen that they are "still married."
Prior to a recent delay in the legal process, however, Porsha added on WWHL that the divorce "should be over soon," though.
