AceShowbiz - NeNe Leakes dropped a quick message on her Instagram as she made headlines after going public with her new boyfriend. "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" member seemed to address her new relationship although she didn't mention her beau.
Some thought the "Glee" alum moved on too quickly roughly three months after her husband Gregg Leakes passed away following a battle with colon cancer. "I just wanna be happy….that's all," so the Bravo reality TV star wrote in her latest post.
The 54-year-old mother of two was determined to keep a positive energy despite the criticisms. "I got nothing but love for you," she penned in another message.
NeNe Leakes got cozy with designer Nyonisela Sioh as he joined her birthday party in Atlanta. A few days later, she returned the favor and flew to Miami to support his launch event and help celebrate his birthday. She was seen smooching him at a dinner party.
In a statement after her new relationship became public, she claimed late husband Gregg, before he died on September 1, gave her the blessings to find love again.
"I will love Gregg forever & ever! Grieving is hard! Even harder & depressing alone. Gregg and I had a very tearful conversation before his passing. His words to me were 'be happy, keep smiling and he who finds you, has found a good one,' " she said.
Nyonisela Sioh, a father of three, reportedly just got out of a relationship as well. He allegedly parted ways with his wife last year.
NeNe and Nyonisela met through their mutual friend Peter Thomas who's married to her "Real Housewives" castmate Cynthia Bailey. It's unclear when they started dating, but she dropped a flirty comment on his post in November.
