Drew Sidora Calls Dennis McKinley Her ‘Saving Grace’—But Is Romance in the Air?
Ah, the tangled web of reality TV relationships! Season 16 of *The Real Housewives of Atlanta* has kicked off with a bang, as Drew Sidora reveals her unexpected bond with Dennis McKinley, the ex-fiancé of fellow cast member Porsha Williams. In a recent episode, Sidora described McKinley as her “saving grace” during her tumultuous divorce from Ralph Pittman, a sentiment that left fans buzzing.
Sidora, 39, opened up about her struggles during her split, stating, “There were days I couldn’t get out of bed,” but thanks to her work sessions with McKinley, she found the motivation to push through. The two have been collaborating on music, a venture that Sidora insists is purely professional—at least until Shamea Morton dropped the bombshell question about their relationship status. “I’m very grateful for Dennis and who he has been in my life,” she declared, adding that McKinley is committed to being an involved father to their daughter, Pilar, who turns six this month.
But hold on! Porsha Williams, 43, isn’t exactly thrilled with this budding friendship. After learning that Sidora and McKinley may have been spotted holding hands at a club, Williams expressed her shock and disappointment. “Drew… is somebody I supported and considered a friend,” she lamented, revealing that she even had Sidora as an influencer for her business. It’s clear that this unexpected twist has thrown a wrench in their friendship, with Williams calling it a “crossing the line” moment.
For some context, Williams and McKinley’s relationship has been a rollercoaster since they first met in 2017. They became engaged in 2018 but faced severe challenges after McKinley’s infidelity during Williams’ pregnancy. Despite a brief reconciliation, the couple ultimately split in 2020. Meanwhile, Sidora’s divorce saga with Pittman has been equally dramatic, with both parties filing for divorce in March 2023 after eight years of marriage.
As the drama unfolds on *RHOA*, viewers are left wondering if Sidora and McKinley are truly just collaborators or if romance is brewing. One thing’s for sure: the reality TV landscape is never dull, and with every episode, it seems more entanglements are on the horizon.
