Simon and Falynn were married for nearly two years before announcing they were getting divorcde last month.

In a post addressing her new relationship with Simon, Porsha noted that the estranged couple actually split earlier this year. 

The 39-year-old reality TV star denied reports her new fiancé gave her the same engagement ring as his ex Falynn, a few hours after she confirmed her relationship with Simon.

One fan noticed the similarities in the ring, tweeting: 'That's the same ring his ex wife has it had'.

Porsha quickly shut down the rumour, quote tweeting the fan writing: 'That's a lie.'

While Porsha has received a significant amount of backlash for getting engaged to her co-star's estranged husband, she seems to be pushing negativity to the side and thriving in her relationship.

On Wednesday (May 12) Porsha reposted a meme titled 'If "if you don't give a dam, we don't give a f*ck" was a couple' with a photo of herself and Simon.

On Monday night, Porsha revealed that she and Simon had been in a relationship for a month. She also clarified that she had no involvement in causing Falynn and Simon to divorce.
