Porsha Drops a Bombshell on Drew's Love Life to a Producer: "Can Y'all Take That Out?"
Porsha Williams sat down to sip hot tea with Drew Sidora on The Real Housewives of Atlanta — but ended up spilling some of her own. While the two attempted to make amends amid their ongoing friendship drama during RHOA Season 16, Episode 13, Porsha explained that Dennis McKinley "wanted to make it clear" that he's "not the one" Drew was hooking up with. Then, she casually mentioned "the guy, Black, who you're dating or whatever." Instantly taken aback, Drew asked, "My friend?" and denied the rumor's accuracy. "I would not jeopardize my future with my kids to start dating. I'm going through a divorce,' she replied, referencing her "very messy" ongoing legal battle with estranged husband Ralph Pittman. "That's a friend. Listen, I'm not dating anybody. I don't have a boyfriend. So, for the record, we're gonna clear that." Later, when a producer asked how Porsha found out "Drew and Black were dating," she blabbed, "Dennis told me," quickly realizing her slip-up. Porsha Williams Reveals Why She's House Hunting Amid Simon Divorce: "Getting Anxious" Phaedra Parks Reacts to the Drew and Dennis Rumors: "From What I Understand on the Streets..." Ralph Pittman Reveals Dennis Asked for His Blessing Over Drew Relationship: "Respect" "Did I say that before? Is that new?" she questioned. "Ooh, was I not supposed to say that? Can y'all take that out?" Prior to that, the only intel viewers had gotten from Porsha and Dennis' conversation about Drew in Episode 9 was the latter saying, "I'm not the one hittin' it." When his ex-fiancée asked who was, then, all he said back on camera was, "It ain't me." (During and Episode 10 dinner with Porsha and Shamea Morton, Ralph also vaguely alluded to Drew having "somebody else that she was dealing with," who was not Dennis.) During their ill-fated sitdown, Drew also mentioned internet chatter about Porsha dating a famous rapper to illustrate that they could "throw things out there all day" about each other's personal lives. After denying the speculation, Porsha insisted that her intentions in bringing up Drew's love life weren't malicious. "Why would you let rumors about you and Dennis linger?" she wondered in a confessional. "If you're dating Dennis, you're dating Dennis. But if you really aren't and you're with Black, claim Black. But instead, I'm met with anger, aggression. It's kind of annoying. Like, I just wanna be good." Sign up for Bravo Insider to not miss special BravoCon opportunities both online and in person.

Later, when both sat down for the first group dinner on the Grenada trip, the topic arose again, with Porsha citing Drew's repeating gossip about her dating life as an example of why they couldn't move forward with a friendship. When the latter pointed out that she'd done the same to her, the Pampered by Porsha founder attempted to defend herself once again. "I literally brought up Black because the whole narrative that you say you've been trying to clear up is that you [and Dennis] aren't sleeping together, right?" she said. "So, if you're already dating this guy named Black, why did you let it go so far? Just say this is who I'm really with." Related: Drew Sidora Opens up About Dating After Ralph Divorce: "How Can I Trust Anybody?" (EXCLUSIVE) Drew, again, denied the dating rumors, however, telling Porsha to not "throw out … what the streets are saying." Nobody, according to Drew — at least not seriously, anyway. While chatting with Cynthia Bailey in Grenada, she revealed, "I am not dating. … I've been, obviously, meeting people. And it's good to have, like, a friendship, I'll say that." When Cynthia suggested Drew has "friends with benefits," she shot that down, too, maintaining that her "friendship" was strictly platonic and, again, blaming her ongoing divorce and "very petty" estranged husband for why she's avoiding any serious romance. More recently, Drew updated Cynthia on The Real Housewives of Atlanta After Show that she had casually "gone out on dates," but a "real commitment" still wasn't even on her radar. Citing Ralph-induced trust issues, she further admitted to not being "in the healthiest of places to even date someone" or "100 percent available to want to go down that road."

RHOM's Alexia Nepola packs on the PDA with ex-husband Todd and insists their relationship isn't over
Real Housewives of Miami star Alexia Nepola, 57, stunned fans as she had a romantic beach day with her ex-husband Todd Nepola, 52, in a confusing set up between the pair. Proving that they still can't keep away from one another, the real estate broker kissed his ex-wife while sitting in the ocean with their arms around each other on Sunday, April 27 in Miami Beach. Alexia rocked a tiny black bikini as she and Todd held hands as they wandered around the beach. The beach day comes a little more than a month after the two finalized their divorce on March 17. At the time, Alexia, seemed happy to be divorced while also saying that she and Todd as still very much together. 'After thoughtful reflection, Todd and I have reached an amicable divorce settlement,' Alexia shared with People last month. 'While our marriage has legally ended, our relationship has not.' 'We continue to love and support each other as we navigate this next chapter,' she added. 'We appreciate the understanding, love, and support from our family, friends, and fans.' Alexia and Todd married in December 2021 and he filed for divorce in April 2024. At Bravo Fan fest later that year, the Cuban born reality TV star said that she and Todd were 'trying to figure things out.' 'We're still working on getting better and getting stronger and figuring it out because we really do love each other a lot,' Alexia said. While on a panel at BravoCon in November 2024, she said, 'I am not dating anyone,' she said. 'I'm still married. I'm wearing my ring.' Later, she said she would quit the Real Housewives franchise if it meant she and Todd could work things out. 'I love Todd,' Alexia told Page Six's Virtual Reali-Tea ' podcast co-hosts Danny Murphy and Evan Real. The beach day comes a little more than a month after the two finalized their divorce on March 17. Seen here in Miami on April 19, 2025 'I've always said that we love each other. It was just [that] we have had a lot [of issues because of] the show,' the reality TV star said. She went on to note that her ex is 'not such a fan of the show,' and he 'doesn't like it.' 'It's hard to do these shows on your own if your husband doesn't support it,' she explained, explaining that the reality TV series put 'a lot of pressure' on them. The couple started dating in 2017 and tied the knot in 2021. Alexia was heartbroken and blindsided when Todd filed for divorce in April. 'I still love him, and we still love each other,' the Real Housewives of Miami OG star - said on the April 29 episode of her iHeartMedia podcast Ay Por Favor. 'It's not because we don't love each other, but it's just very sad that, I guess, we couldn't figure out a way to fix things. And that's why I was in such shock because I'm a fighter.' Alexia thought 'things were good' and admitted she's 'devastated' but 'pretending to be okay' admitting: 'I cry a lot. I stay busy which helps me a lot. I just can't afford to be in bed. That's not how I heal.' Alexia continued, tearfully telling listeners, 'For the first week, for the first two weeks - actually, still today, it's been three weeks, and I'm still going back in my head like, "What happened?"' Despite the emotional turmoil she was going through, the Miami resident tried to see the glass half full. 'I'm a positive person, so I try to think about all the beautiful times we had together -- all of our beautiful trips...' Alexia reflected. 'I don't want to have any anger, but I understand that anger is one of the grieving stages.' 'I find myself lost,' she confessed. 'It's been very, very difficult. It's been very painful, hurtful, and I'm just getting through it.' Meanwhile, Alexia noted that a lack of love wasn't the reason behind their breakup. 'It's just very sad, I guess we couldn't figure out a way to fix things, and that's why I was in such shock because I'm a fighter, I fight right?' she said to Marysol. 'I was never expecting that, I thought things were good, so it's been really shocking and I'm devastated.' Alexia expressed gratitude for the friends, family and fans who've stuck by her side during the divorce proceedings. 'The outpouring [of] love and support that I have received from all of you has truly warmed my heart,' Nepola, 56, wrote in a post shared to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday. 'Thank you,' she added. 'Love you all.' Nepola is her third husband and their relationship started a year after her 12-year marriage to Herman Echevarria ended. Her first husband, Peter Rosello, Jr. is the son of Pedro 'Pegy' Rosello, a Cuban-American drug trafficker during the 1980s. Their union lasted from 1992 to 1996. Rosello and Alexia share two sons from their four-year marriage, Peter Rosello III, 32, and Frankie Rosello, 28.

'Real Housewives of New Jersey' stars Joe Gorga, Frank Catania bring live comedy to Toronto
While the future of The Real Housewives of New Jersey may look a bit different, with an expected casting shakeup for Season 15, a couple of House Husbands (one ex-husband) are going in a new direction themselves. Melissa's husband, and Teresa Giudice's brother, Joe Gorga, has entered the live comedy space, alongside Frank Catania, Dolores' ex-husband, and they're bringing their show to Toronto on Saturday, April 12 at the Elgin & Winter Garden Theatres. If a comedy show isn't what you expected from Gorga, it's actually something that was recommended by "Cake Boss" Buddy Valastro, who would see Gorga make his family laugh over Sunday meals together. While it took a few years, Gorga finally honed a comedy show where he talks about his life, including his wife and children. Then Gorga brought Catania on board. "I had no interest whatsoever," Catania admitted to Yahoo Canada about joining Gorga. "I don't even understand how I got into this." But the story is a little more specific. While in New York City for BravoCon, Catania joined Gorga on stage for a show, and he had fun "busting Joe's balls" in front of a crowd. "Me and Joe feed off one another," Catania said. "Despite what anybody may think, we never, ever rehearse anything." "But I enjoy it. ... Hanging out with the fans, hanging out with Joe, and I hear Joe's routine every single time I'm with him, ... I still laugh. It's still funny to me." But being able to perform in front of a Toronto crowd was particularly attractive to both Gorga and Catania, who have realized that they have a lot of fans in the area. "It's been my goal to play in Toronto," Gorga stressed. "Every time I go on vacation or I go somewhere and I meet Toronto people, Canadians, they're amazing." "We go to Aruba every year and we meet a bunch of Canadians, and they're just nuts. We're drinking. We're doing shots." "Fifty per cent of my parents' friends, my father's friends, down in Vero Beach, down in Florida, all from Canada," Catania added. "I'll tell you, it's a different sense of humour. ... It's almost like a little sarcastic too." The Toronto crowd will also get the chance to see Melissa on stage for the show. "She's actually funny. I made her funny," Gorga said. "She's going to make fun of both of us a little bit. She kind of roasts us a little, in her own way." "My whole routine is busting on Melissa ... and our marriage, and a little bit of sex talk. ... So I kind of embarrass her." Embarrassing their families is a core element of these shows, going back to how Gorga always wanted his comedy to stem from his personal life. But as Catania highlighted, one time Melissa learned that the hard way. "Melissa learned a lesson," Catania said. "We were driving to a show in New York and Melissa made the mistake of saying to me, 'Hey, listen, I think Joe's cheating on me. Joe's like a horny little chihuahua dog and he doesn't want sex lately.'" "I talked to Joe and I knew at work he's got stuff going on, and he's so stressed. Despite what anybody says, Joe would be the last person to ever be unfaithful to Melissa. First of all, he's a faithful guy. Number two, he's scared shit of Melissa. ... Next thing you know I get up on stage and Melissa's in the audience, [Catania's girlfriend Brittany Mattessich's] in the audience. And what's the first thing in my skit about? What Melissa told me in the car." "Sometimes I argue with my wife. She yells, 'Don't you ever bring that up ever again!'" Gorga added. "I go, 'OK I'll never do it again,' but then I do it again. ... What I'm going through in life, everyone's going through the same thing. So when you come out on stage with it, it's just hilarious." Tickets for the Joe Gorga with special guests Melissa Gorga & Frank Catania comedy show are now available here.

Craig Conover Has Officially Moved on From His Split With Paige DeSorbo
After a tumultuous breakup with Paige DeSorbo and months of he-said-she-said about their relationship, Craig Conover has officially moved on and is 'seeing someone.' The Southern Charm star confirmed the news during an appearance on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live. And though he didn't give a lot of detail, it sounds like things are going well. 'When I date, I tend to date only one person at a time,' he told Andy Cohen during his appearance alongside his Southern Charm co-stars Shep Rose and Austen Kroll. 'I've been seeing someone. I've been reminded that the universe works in crazy ways and everything happens for a reason.' Guess that Raya profile worked! He also told Andy that he had officially gotten rid of the engagement ring he bought for Paige, telling the host, 'I just returned it this morning.' He continued, 'I just don't need custody of it anymore, so I took it back to the guy.' Craig revealed that he had bought Paige an engagement ring during season 10 of Summer House, which also chronicled their breakup. And he still had it at the time of the taping of the Summer House reunion, which aired earlier this week. While clarifying a few details about the breakup during the reunion, Craig claimed that, following their initial split after Thanksgiving, he went to Paige in December to get clarity on their relationship. 'I went to her apartment to just be like, 'What's happening?'' he said. 'And she was like, 'I probably am making the worst mistake of my life, but I need to go find myself.' And then I asked, 'Well, what do you want me to do with the ring?' And she's like, 'Well, keep it. Maybe we'll get married at BravoCon.' Ouch. Now that the ring is fully out of the picture, it looks like a BravoCon wedding is, too. And, despite these revelations, Craig insists he would rather not focus on the breakup. 'I haven't done anything except try to move on with my life,' he said. 'I'm really happy in the chapter that I'm in.'

Dr. Nicole Martin teases Real Housewives return after exit due to postpartum anxiety
Dr. Nicole Martin is keeping her options open when it comes to a possible return to The Real Housewives of Miami. 'Never say never,' Martin, 40, said while appearing at a recent event in New York City promoting her Exoceuticals skincare line. But in the same breath, she acknowledged how 'stressful' the show was. Martin became an instant fan-favorite when she joined the Bravo show for its season four reboot after an eight-year hiatus. But in September 2024, she announced she was 'stepping back' from the series after three seasons as a full-time cast member as she dealt with postpartum anxiety following the birth of her daughter, Genevieve. 'It all started about a week after giving birth when I found myself having an overwhelming sense of worry and fear out of nowhere,' Martin posted on Instagram at the time. 'It felt like my mind was constantly on high alert, panicked and worrying endlessly about the health of my baby, myself, and my family.' Turning her focus to her family — including Genevieve, 1, and son Greyson, 6, both of whom she shares with fiancé Anthony Lopez — and her health, Martin opted not to return to the show. Bravo boss Andy Cohen commented how 'lucky' the network was to have her 'and will be again if (and hopefully when) you feel the time is right,' leaving the door open for a future return. Martin's 'replacement' for season seven of The Real Housewives of Miami was introduced in November at Bravo FanFest. Entrepreneur Stephanie Shojaee — who Martin said was a 'great choice' — will join the cast of women that includes Guerdy Abraira, Lisa Hochstein, Julia Lemigova, Alexia Nepola, Larsa Pippen, Adriana de Moura, Marysol Patton, and Kiki Barth. Season seven is expected to air on Bravo later this year. Long before Martin was a Housewife, she was a board-certified anesthesiologist. Still, she's grateful for all the reality show has brought her, and says it feels like the opportunity to join Housewives 'fell in my lap to open another door;' that being the now-booming skincare brand. 'I'm always very thankful and supportive of all the fans because Bravo really does have some amazing devoted fans,' Martin said. 'I've always been so thankful to them when I get to meet them at Bravo Con and events like this,' she said of the Exoceuticals celebration. 'If my personality resonates with you, so will this product,' she said. 'Because it really does speak volumes about who I am in terms of my background in medicine, my passion for skincare.
