NeNe Leakes Spotted Kissing Memphis Attorney Courtside
NeNe Leakes is booed up!
The former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star was photographed and filmed sharing an affectionate moment with attorney Arthur Horne III while the pair sat courtside at a Memphis Grizzlies game, TMZ reports. At one point, he leans in and kisses her as they leave the game together. Leakes made it clear that she’s spoken for.
Witnesses told TMZ the couple were “hugged up” and “really touchy-feely” during the game, language that made the outing appear romantic rather than merely friendly. Horne runs his own law practice in Memphis, where he focuses on criminal defense and personal-injury matters.
Leakes was formerly married to Gregg Leakes from 1997-2011, and the couple reunited and remarried in 2013. They stayed together until 2021, when Gregg succumbed to colon cancer. Leakes has kept a relatively public social life in recent years. Shortly after Gregg’s passing, she dated fashion entrepreneur Nyonisela Sioh. Their very public relationship was rocky as they dealt with legal drama involving Sioh’s estranged wife, and two years later, Leakes confirmed they were taking a break.
"It's … things I'm not happy with, things he's not happy with. It's just not working at the moment," she said, before joking, "He is single, so if any of the ladies out there want to holla at him, go right ahead,” Leakes told Carlos King at the time.
The break is over and NeNe is outside with her new boo! The lovey-dovey couple seems to be doing well with this hard launch!
TMZ reached out to both Leakes and Horne for comment and has not yet received a response.
