Additionally, the break-up speculation arose after Williams unfollowed McKinley on Instagram.

During an interview, Dennis said:

“These false and slanderous allegations against me are made solely to damage my reputation, jeopardize my ongoing businesses, and negatively impact my family.”

The couple separated in June 2019.

Several days before their breakup, Porsha was photographed vacationing in Miami with her daughter.

But, the tables have turned, and in August 2019, Dennis and Williams got back together and gave their relationship a second chance.

Moreover, their wedding was postponed.

During an episode of Real Housewives of Atlanta: Porsha’s Having a Baby, she explained that she and Dennis decided to postpone their wedding due to her pregnancy.

During an interview, Porsha said:

“We put that on hold. I’m pregnant so I don’t want to deal with nothing that has to do with stress. I originally wanted to get married before I had baby PJ.”

Williams went on to say:

”But Dennis and I haven’t really gotten into the nitty gritty of the prenup. Now I don’t think it’s the time. We should be concentrating on PJ.”

Porsha also told Dennis’ mother, Mama Gina:

“I didn’t postpone a wedding ‘cause I’m unsure. I postponed the wedding because I’m pregnant.”

Apparently, the couple will be getting married on New Year’s Eve.

Update – Porsha has confirmed her split from McKinley in December 2020.

McKinley proposed with a 13-carat ring. The ring took about two weeks to make and cost him around 6 figures.
