Real Housewives of Atlanta alum NeNe Leakes is reportedly back on the dating scene just three months after her beloved husband Gregg passed away from his battle with cancer.
On Wednesday, NeNe and Nyonisela Sioh were spotted together during her surprise birthday party. The 54-year-old reality star and Sioh looked cozy as they danced during the bash held at her popular nightspot– The Linnethia Lounge outside of Atlanta. NeNe shared her day with family and friends, including former castmate Porsha Williams and her fiance Simon Guobadia, singer Keke Wyatt, social media star Kendall Kyndall and Shamea Morton.
NeNe was all smiles as she danced and hugged Sioh, clad in a lavender suit, on the dance floor, according to a video shared by TMZ.
Her son, Brentt, planned the over-the-top fiesta and she thanked him on her Instagram account. NeNe also expressed that she hadn’t been in a celebratory mood, but she was grateful that family and friends had come together for her three times.
“This year I didn’t want to celebrate my birthday in a big way! I just wanted to chill wit a few love ones but my fam would NOT let it be that way! My son decided to throw me a surprise birthday party! This is the first party he has ever thrown me! He did so GOOD! Love you @kingbrentt.”
She continued, “Not to mention, this is the 3rd gathering I’ve had this week 😩 I love all of y’all for loving me and making sure am good during this time❤️. The rest of the pics will be in my story! ENJOY!.”

TMZ reported that Sioh hails from Liberia and owns a North Carolina-based atelier for men called Nyoni Couture. He also has an office in Buckhead. The bearded gentleman often posts images of his dapper fits on the company’s Instagram account. The news outlet also reported that the new couple was allegedly hooked up by Bar One and Cynthia Bailey’s ex-husband Peter Thomas.
The two men appeared to be close friends and were seen together in Miami earlier this month at Peter’s popular hotspot.

At the end of September, NeNe shared Gregg’s dying wish with the public.
Sis2Sis previously reported that the 66-year-old man told his wife, “I’m not going to leave you. God is going to bless you.”
She also revealed that he told her to move on with her life. The patriarch died from colon cancer on September 1.
NeNe looks happy, and wish her an Sioh the very best.
