Former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star NeNe Leakes has gone public with a new relationship, appearing courtside with Memphis attorney Arthur Horne III at Wednesday’s Golden State Warriors vs. Memphis Grizzlies game, Page Six reports.
The 58-year-old reality television personality and Horne were spotted at the FedExForum showing affection throughout the evening. Witnesses told TMZ the pair were “hugged up” and “really touchy-feely” during the game. Video footage captured by the outlet showed Horne kissing Leakes on the lips while posing for photographs.
Horne owns The Law Offices of Arthur Horne, III, PLLC, in Memphis. According to his website, his practice focuses on civil litigation, personal injury, medical malpractice, wrongful death, business litigation, class action cases and criminal defense. He has appeared on television programs including “Nancy Grace,” “Snapped” and “Golf Central.” The timeline of when Leakes and Horne began dating remains unclear.
This marks Leakes’ first public relationship since her romance with Nyonisela Sioh ended in 2024, Page Six noted. The two had dated since December 2021, but faced complications when Sioh’s estranged wife filed a lawsuit against Leakes in June 2022, alleging an affair while Sioh was still married. Leakes disputed claims she was a “husband stealer.” The couple separated briefly in 2023 before ultimately ending their relationship.
Leakes’ late husband, Gregg Leakes, died from colon cancer in September 2021 at age 66. The couple had married in 1997, divorced in 2011, then remarried in 2013. Leakes has said Gregg encouraged her to find love again after his death, Page Six said.
The television personality recently announced her return to Bravo after departing the “Real Housewives” franchise in 2020. She will appear in the upcoming season of “The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th.”
