Healing the heart!
NeNe Leakes has found love with hunky new beau Nyonisela Sioh months after the tragic death of her late husband Gregg Leakes. Gregg died in September after a lengthy battle with colon cancer.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum is "very happy right now," an insider spilled to People after the 54-year-old was spotted packing on the PDA with her main squeeze in Miami Beach over the weekend.
"She can't stop smiling around Nyonisela," the source continued, noting the duo were introduced to each other by RHOA star Cynthia Bailey's ex-husband Peter Thomas. "It's still very new but she's almost like a teenager with him, just light and giggly and feeling those new relationship butterflies."
"It was obviously very hard for NeNe after Gregg's death, but she had been his caretaker for so long, she really lost what it was like to have a partner who prioritizes you," the source explained, adding: "Nyonisela treats her like a queen. He's constantly fawning over her, showering her with compliments and putting her needs first. She couldn't have found a better guy to be with after her loss."
As OK! previously reported, NeNe set tongues wagging after she was spotted at her recent birthday — party hosted by her son Brentt — standing next to a mystery man that turned out to be Nyonisela (who rocked a royal purple suit). The bash was held at the reality star's famed bar Linnethia Lounge in Georgia. Many family and friends were up to celebrate Nene's big day, such as fellow Bravo star Porsha Williams and pal Keke Wyatt.
NeNe recently spilled to The Shade Room her late husband gave his blessing for her to see other people. "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 explained.
The Glee alums new boo is from Liberia, Africa and is the owner of a couture suit company in Charlotte, North Carolina.
