Nigerian businessman and entrepreneur Simon Guobadia is reportedly set to lose a significant chunk of his wealth following a messy divorce battle with American reality TV star Porsha Williams.

Guobadia, 61, and Williams, 43, tied the knot in November 2022.

However, just 15 months later, Williams filed for divorce in February 2024, citing irreconcilable differences and revealing that their marriage had broken down beyond repair.

According to reports by US Weekly, the couple had signed a prenuptial agreement before their wedding.

The terms of that agreement are now being enforced in court, forcing Guobadia to split the equity of his $7 million pre-marital home in Atlanta with Williams.

He is also expected to settle significant debts and pay for various expenses that benefit his estranged wife.

Porsha Williams, best known for her role on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, reportedly left the show before their marriage, allegedly based on Guobadia’s influence.

In the legal filings, Guobadia blames Williams’ “misrepresentations” about leaving the reality show as a major reason why he agreed to the prenup in the first place.

However, the court seems poised to uphold the agreement regardless of those claims.

Adding to the chaos, Guobadia was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which led to multiple postponements in the court proceedings.

He has since returned to Nigeria, but his absence in the U.S. hasn’t stopped the wheels of justice from turning.

Observers say the case highlights the importance of legal foresight in high-profile marriages, especially when large estates and international movements are involved.

Legit.ng earlier reported that Simon Guobadia was detained by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in March. According to reports from Us Weekly, the US Department of Homeland Security records show that Guobadia is being held at the Stewart Detention Centre in Lumpkin, Georgia.

Guobadia’s detainment came amid President Donald Trump’s heavy clampdown on illegal immigrants and mass deportation exercise. Simon Guobadia reportedly went from Nigeria to America in 1982 and was declared deportable in 1985 after allegedly overstaying his visa.

Atlanta’s WSB TV2 reported that Guobadia went back to America in 1986 and once again overstayed his work visa. In 1987, Guobadia pleaded guilty to bank and credit card fraud. He was also reportedly arrested two more times before his deportation back to Nigeria in 1992. However, he returned to America a month later.
