NeNe Leakes of “Real Housewives of Atlanta” fame is currently dating couture suit king Nyonisela Sioh, recently sharing that her late husband, Gregg Leakes, gave her his blessing to move on during one of their final conversations.
“I will love Gregg forever & ever! Grieving is hard! Even harder & depressing alone,” the reality star, 54, told The Shade Room Saturday. “Gregg and I had a very tearful conversation before his passing. His words to me were ‘be happy, keep smiling and he who finds you, has found a good one.’”
NeNe was photographed with new beau Sioh just three months after Gregg’s passing, as he accompanied the former “Glee” actress to her 54th birthday party last week.
The Bravolebrity posted a series of Instagram Stories and posts from the celebration, organized by her son Brentt — showing off her dapper new man in several shots.
While it is unclear how long the two have been dating, TMZ reports that the couple met through Peter Thomas, ex-husband of Nene’s former “RHOA” co-star, Cynthia Bailey.
Gregg Leakes died of colon cancer in September, with the couple’s rep releasing a statement on his transition.
“Today, the Leakes family is in deep pain with a broken heart. After a long battle with cancer, Gregg Leakes has passed away peacefully in his home surrounded by all of his children, very close loved ones and wife NeNe Leakes,” read a press release.
The statement continued, “We ask that you pray for peace and strength over their family and allow them to mourn in private during this very, very difficult time.”
