The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 16 ended in true cinematic fashion: with a mashup of romance, comedy, plenty of drama, of course — and even several references to The Godfather.
The glammed-up cast, including Angela Oakley, Brit Eady, Drew Sidora, Kelli Ferrell, Phaedra Parks, Porsha Williams, Shamea Morton, and friend Cynthia Bailey showed out for the Charles Oakley Foundation’s black-tie gala, which culminated with a covert operation involving a shocking surprise guest against the backdrop of several fractured friendships.
“I’m sad that we ended on this note,” Angela told Phaedra after accusing her of masterminding Marcus’ “ambush” with a new Charles cheating bombshell at Kelli’s cooking event. “And I wish you all the best in your investigation and your trying to ruin my marriage.” Phaedra, however, denied any involvement.
Even so, at least some of the sisterhood that the ladies rediscovered on the Grenada cast trip remained, as they rallied to support Porsha amid the heartbreaking death of her cousin, Yolanda “Londie” Favors.
“I love that no matter what we are going through, when one of us is in need, we all come together,” Cynthia noted in an Episode 17 confessional.
Indeed, there will be plenty of highs and lows to unpack and revisit at the RHOA Season 16 reunion, which premieres on July 13. In the meantime, though, you can catch up on everything the women have been up to since filming wrapped.
Kelli Ferrell is officially divorced
Following three years of legal proceedings, Kelli officially finalized her divorce in September 2024.
Now, she is aiming to open Nana’s Chicken & Waffles’ new Sandy Springs location sometime this summer.
According to Kelli’s RHOA Season 16 finale end card, she will be “double checking the guest list for the grand opening,” unlike at her William Sonoma cooking event, however.
Brit Eady is focusing on her career
Brit is “using her clean slate to open a new insurance agency,” per the finale update.
Meanwhile, she is also “working hard to release” Bare and Naked, her line of shapewear, loungewear, and athleisure, so that “the masses can be snatched just like her.”
Drew Sidora and Ralph Pittman’s divorce remains ongoing
Drew dropped her Dennis McKinley-produced album, I Did It To Me, in March 2025.
Though her music career is “on high,” Drew’s relationship with estranged husband Ralph Pittman is “still on a low,” as he continues to live in the basement, or “lower level,” of their family home.
What’s more, an end to Drew and Ralph’s divorce is “nowhere in sight,” and the estranged couple is still married today.
Shamea Morton has baby news
While “baby Shiloh continues to make progress” amid health issues, Shamea has a new surrogate and “hopes to welcome a baby boy soon.”
Career-wise, Shamea released her single, “Neva Had,” in March 2025, and her end card noted that “she hopes that listeners don’t talk over it this time,” referencing how Porsha “disrespected” her when she played the track at Angela’s bank dinner.
Phaedra Parks is still dating Cheick “Che Che” Kone
On the heels of her RHOA comeback, Phaedra is “booked and busy and adding more jobs to her resume” until her two sons, Dylan Nida, 12, and Ayden Nida, 15, “retire her.”
Meanwhile, Phaedra’s new boyfriend, “chocolate prince” Cheick “Che Che” Kone, is “still satisfying her sweet tooth,” according to her finale update.
Angela Oakley has a new business
After revealing her $2 million debt, Angela finally sold three of her investment properties, but the other two “have unfortunately been lost,” per her RHOA end card.
However, Angela is “staying cool under pressure” with her next business venture: a line of fans, which she aptly named Fan-gie.
Following the Season 16 finale drama, there’s still no word on when she and Charles will renew their vows.
Porsha Williams finalized her divorce
Cameras picked back up five months after production wrapped to film Porsha in her home for the first time all season. As she explained to her mom, Ms. Diane Williams, at the time, she and Simon Guobadia had just received a court date.
Fast-forward several months, and Porsha and Simon finalized their divorce on June 11, 2025.
