Nene Leakes addressed rumors about her love life during a recent livestream, explaining a courtside kiss with Arthur Horne was just part of a casual date. The former Real Housewives of Atlanta star emphasized she's single and taking things slow after her husband's passing. Fans rallied behind her message to live freely.
Oh honey, the internet was buzzing after TMZ caught Nene Leakes planting a smooch on Memphis lawyer Arthur Horne at a Grizzlies basketball game. But our girl wasn't about to let the trolls run wild with assumptions. Hopping on a livestream, Nene spilled the tea straight: that lip-lock? Just a innocent peck during a fun night out. "It was just a date," she clarified, shutting down any whispers of a full-blown romance. 🔥
Nene's been open about navigating dating since Gregg Leakes' heartbreaking death from colon cancer in September 2021. She's not rushing into anything major, folks. "I really want to date with intention," she shared on the stream. "I really want to give it a real shot and date with intention... Find my life partner and… go somewhere and sit down." Preach! She's stepping back from a previous relationship—possibly with fashion designer Nyonisela Sioh, who she reportedly dated from 2021 to 2023—but kept the ex's name under wraps.
As for Arthur, Nene had a fierce message for the online detectives: "Leave that man alone, his past is his past." No digging allowed! She even jumped into The Shade Room's comments to affirm, "I’m just having fun." And the fans? They ate it up. One wrote, "Let our girl LIVE ❤️," while another urged, "Lets normalize DATING damn." Others chimed in with support like "Date them ALL 🙌" and "She deserves true love again we all do." It's all love in the comments section, reminding everyone that Nene's out here reclaiming her joy, one date at a time. So, is this the start of something intentional, or just Nene serving courtside realness? Stay tuned, darlings. 👀
