Media blogs have been going viral with headlines “Dennis & Porsha Break Up”, “Porsha Heartbroken After Dennis Admits to Cheating.” What does all this mean for the future of Porsha and PJ? Before you get all bent out of shape and start feeling sorry for Porsha remember these episodes we are watching were filmed at least 4-6 months ago. That’s enough time for some major reconciling to begin.

A little birdie close to the blog told us they ran into Dennis McKinley this summer at the Bronner Bros Hair show and Dennis said the following “you know I had to go and get my family back.” Sounds like Dennis is no fool and realizes that he could really have a family and future with Porsha Williams. Since the first season of RHOA Porsha has expressed she wanted a baby and a family. She may have not gotten it right the first or second time looking for Mr Right after her divorce but seems like the third time might be a charm even though there seems to have been some bumps in the road.

We have seen Porsha really mature and seems like she wants to have her priorities in order and keep PJ closely connected to her father despite the future for her and Dennis. I think this couple will make it through the rough patches. With Dennis being on national television and knowing “the world” is watching him, I believe Dennis will do the right thing for a while at least. After all, Dennis isn’t getting any younger, and he is going to need a real partner in his corner to help him build the empire he’s accumulating with all his businesses.

Porsha already has fame and her own cash and lil PJ. She’s got an entire network and cast mates to keep her time occupied (and a check coming in). Having a husband would be a bonus and help Porsha live the American Dream but the reality of the situation is sometimes men don’t really know how to appreciate what’s right in front of them because money & power usually leads to distractions for MEN.

Either way we know Porsha is going to be just fine. She’s got her Momma and her Sister right by her side to lend a shoulder for her to lean on. Oh and her bestie Shamea Morton and baby Shya. Heck, she even has Kenya Moore and baby Brooklyn; not to mention her Dish Nation family.  Porsha Williams you have real back up on your side and most important God Got Her.
