Porsha Williams Defines Her Sexuality: ‘PorshaSexual’

Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams is making headlines not just for her on-screen drama, but for her candid conversations about her evolving sexuality and her relationship with girlfriend Patrice “Sway” McKinney. Williams, who began dating McKinney in 2025, is navigating new territory and has coined unique terms to describe her current identity.

Introducing ‘PorshaSexual’ and ‘SwaySexual’

During a recent appearance on The Breakfast Club, Porsha addressed the questions surrounding her sexuality. When asked about labels, she shared her preference for creating her own. “I don’t have a label. I’m just Porsha-Sexual. I’m just exploring. Now I’m Sway-Sexual,” she explained. Williams emphasized that she feels “very free and exploring parts of myself” and isn’t bothered by traditional labels like ‘lesbian’ or ‘bisexual,’ though she acknowledges their existence.

She finds her relationship with Sway to be incredibly comforting and affirming. “What I find with Sway is that I feel very comforted. I feel very seen, very patient,” Williams shared, noting that they are taking their time and enjoying a “very soft” connection. She also mentioned that she has “always been attracted to women,” appreciating both the feminine and masculine sides of her partner.

Embracing Change and Authenticity

When faced with the question of whether her current relationship is a ‘phase,’ Williams drew a parallel to how relationships and personal choices can evolve over time. “Your diet could change with anything, and her’s could change from me too. You never know the future,” she stated, highlighting that relationship longevity is uncertain for anyone. She also pointed out the irony of the scrutiny, noting, “I don’t know why it seems like I’m the first person to be gay now. It’s 2026.”

Further discussing her bond with McKinney on ‘Watch What Happens Live,’ Porsha expressed deep love and highlighted mutual support and personal freedom as the cornerstones of their relationship. “She lets me be me,” she said, emphasizing the strength and solidity of their union.
