Williams' return follows her leaving in 2021 after starting the franchise in 2014. She also had a spin-off called Porsha's Family Matters that premiered in 2021 and ended after one season.
“I had already decided that it was time for me to step away at least six months before I told any of the executives what I was going to do — and long before I even met my now-husband,” she says. “I was turning 40, I was hitting my 10-year mark on the show, and I really just had to reassess where I was and what I wanted totally out of my life. So that's where that decision came from.”
