Marriage Timeline

Williams and Guobadia went public with their relationship in 2021, shortly after Guobadia's separation from Falynn Pina, and became engaged that same year.

A later property settlement gave Williams the couple's Fulton County, Georgia home, a reimbursement of $1,568,181.63 from Guobadia's share of the property's equity, and title to a 2021 Rolls-Royce Ghost. During the proceedings, Guobadia was detained by ICE in February 2025 and later deported to Nigeria.
