Although it’s been years since they ended their engagement, Porsha Williams and Dennis McKinley have remained constant figures in each other’s lives. Fans got another look at the dynamic via Instagram last week, after Dennis reunited with Porsha and her younger sister, Lauren Williams.
he video showed the trio sharing a few drinks with their good friend/hairstylist Dominic Rahjee. Lauren reshared the reunion footage on her account, but it’s unclear if the group was celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying each other’s company. “Season 2,” Lauren wrote in the video.
Dennis McKinley and Lauren Williams bury the hatchet
Lauren and Dominic appeared in the one-season Bravo spinoff, The Real Housewives of Atlanta: Porsha’s Family Matters, which documented Porsha’s relationship with her now ex-husband, Simon Guobadia, and her coparenting dynamic with Dennis.
The series began filming more than a year after Porsha and Dennis welcomed their daughter, Pilar Jhena “PJ” McKinley. Months following PJ’s birth, Porsha called off her engagement to Dennis because of his infidelity. The circumstances surrounding the breakup, of course, caused tensions between Dennis and Porsha’s family. Although Lauren apparently refused to speak to Dennis for nearly a year, she agreed to repair the relationship after Dennis apologized. This became quite clear in a years-old Instagram post in which Dennis was seen hugging Lauren.
“Ok let me tell you about the power of forgiveness!” he captioned the post. “When you hurt [people] it’s important to know that you also hurt [people] that love them! [Lauren] unblocked me today BUT Lauren [heart emoji, prayer hands emoji] you… first time speaking/hanging in 8/9 months … apologize to EVERYBODY.”
Porsha seemingly approved of the reconciliation, as she commented: “Man, family healing!! Thank you.”
