Porsha Williamsis officiallyengaged… again!
During an appearance on Sunday’sWatch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, theReal Housewives of Atlantastar, 38, announced that she and Dennis McKinley, 43, are ready to walk down the aisle.
“We are re-engaged,” said Williams, who shares8-month-old daughter Pilar Jhenawith McKinley, later adding, “Yes, it’s the same ring.”
The couple’s happy news comes afterthey went their separate ways earlier this year, when Williams discovered McKinley had cheated on her while she was pregnant with their only child. At the time Williams learned of McKinely’s infidelity, Pilar Jhena was only 3 months old.
Fans are currently watching their splitplay out on season 12 ofRHOA, with Williams revealing in a recent episode that she had given her oval-shaped diamond engagement ring back at his request.
Bravo cameras had started filming just “two or three weeks after their separation,” Williams said onWWHL.
“We’re working on our family. It takes time,” Williams said. “I love him and he loves me and we’re doing what’s best for our family. That’s really all you can do.”
“You have to have trust,” she added, stressing that they were “absolutely” working to rebuild that.

None of that seems to have slowed down Williams and McKinley’s wedding plans.
In November at BravoCon, she revealed that she and McKinley were still planning their nuptials — telling fans, “You will hopefully see me get married on television.”
She doubled down on that on Sunday’sWWHL, stressing to Cohen that while “we don’t have a set date yet,” the wedding “will be next year.”
This will be Williams’ second marriage. She was previously wed to former NFL starKordell Stewart, the former pairsplitting in 2013after two years as husband and wife. Williams and Stewart’s breakup also aired onRHOA.
“I literally wish I could wake up and somebody could be like, ‘It was a dream, it didn’t happen,’ ” Williams said in a NovemberRHOAepisode of McKinley cheating. “The movie keeps playing in my head. I keep playing all of these moments. We’re like creating a real family and just to think it wasn’t real, is really hurtful.”
“To be disrespected at the most sacred time in life is like, I just can’t forgive that,” Williams said, in tears. “I’m looking at my daughter, telling her, ‘I’m going to work it out, I’m going to work it out.’ But some stuff is not forgivable, and I don’t think she would want me to have to deal with certain things. I don’t think she’s want that.”

Looking back now, Williams said at BravoCon that being honest about everything that’s happening in her life — the good and the bad — is “what I signed up for.”
“This journey that I’ve been on, in television, I have committed to it. I’m committed to whatever my truth is and that being told in my own way,” Williams said.
“What we’re going through is reality,” she added. “Other people are going through it. By them seeing him take responsibility, me learning to forgive — all of that is something that will hopefully empower them.”
