Kordell Stewart Has Filed For Divorce From Wife Porsha Williams Of “Real Housewives Of Atlanta”
Kordell Stewart has filed for divorce from wife Porsha Williams.
Former Pittsburgh Steelers star Kordell Stewart wants to divorce his reality star wife Porsha, according to TMZ, and it's possible that Porsha Williams' role on "Real Housewives of Atlanta" impacted the couple's decision to divorce.
40-year-old Stewart filed for divorce at Fulton County Superior Court in Georgia on March 22.
Kordell claimed in the divorce papers that the two are separated and that their marriage is "irretrievably broken," according to TMZ.
Stewart and Williams got married on May 21, 2011. They have no children together, but Stewart has a son from a previous relationship.
On the reality show "Real Housewives of Atlanta" on Bravo, Porsha brought up the topic of having children together. Porsha wanted to have children and a career in charity work, but Kordell Stewart told her she had to choose between the two.
Porsha joined the reality show for its latest season, and is allegedly not returning for a second season because of Kordell's wishes.
Porsha always has stuck up for her husband on the Bravo reality show because cast mates often accused Kordell of being too controlling and demanding, according to iBusinessTimes.
In one episode of "Real Housewives," Porsha and the other cast mates went on a trip to Las Vegas without their husbands. Porsha told the other ladies, "I'm glad [Kordell] let me come on this trip."
The other women were concerned that Porsha needed his permission. Addressing fans' negative reactions about her relationship, Porsha tweeted, "It's called a marriage."
Kordell Stewart allegedly believes he shouldn't be forced to pay Porsha any spousal support, claiming, "[She's] an able-bodied person, earning income and is capable of supporting herself."
Stewart also said that there are no marital assets to divide, suggesting that the couple signed a prenuptial agreement prior to marrying.
Porsha has not yet addressed the divorce rumors.
