Porsha Williams is one proud stepmom.

On Tuesday, January 9, The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum took some time to celebrate the birthday of Christian Guobadia, the second-oldest son of her entrepreneur husband, Simon Guobadia. Porsha posted a heartwarming Instagram carousel that included photos of the teen and his time with their blended family. The slides showed Christian posing with his little brother, Benjamin; his little sister, Ximena; as well as his stepsister, Pilar Jhena “PJ” McKinley, whom Porsha shares with her ex-fiancé, Dennis McKinley.

“Help me wish the Happiest 14^th birthday to Christian!! My sweet bonus son!” Porsha captioned the Instagram. “He is the kindest most thoughtful child and I’m blessed to have you in my life! We Love you and are so proud of the young man that you are, your parents have done an amazing job with you.”

“Happy 14^th Birthday to my handsome, loving and caring son Christian,” Simon wrote in the January 9 post. “At 6’4” you are a gentle giant with a huge heart. I pray you continue to grow and grow in wisdom. Love you son.”

Porsha Williams’ Husband, Simon Guobadia, Opens Up About Co-Parenting with His Exes (UPDATED)

Porsha married Simon in late 2022, about two years after she split with Dennis. Simon entered the marriage with five kids, including his adult son, Quentin, and adult daughter, Nicole; while Porsha’s first and only child, PJ, was just 3 years old at the time of their nuptials.

The Atlanta mom spoke about her blended family during an interview with Essence last month, saying her experience as a stepmom has been “really special.”

“Well, I grew up in a blended household, as well,” she said in the December 15, 2023, article. “My stepmother is amazing and it really wasn’t about stepmother and like half siblings. We were just family. And I think when you just think of everyone as a family and treat everybody and love everybody as your own, I think that’s the best thing to do when it comes to a blended family.”

Porsha also shared a piece of advice for those who were new to blended-family life.

“I don’t really think it’s anything you need to be afraid of,” she continued. “Just be yourself and be genuine and I think that everybody will gravitate towards each other in the right time. And just as you love your spouse, you’re gonna love his kids and it’ll all come together. Don’t overthink it at all. Just be yourself.”
