Kenya Moore will be back for season 16 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, in a move that will reunite her with one of her longtime frenemies, Porsha Williams.
On Friday, April 12, the actress and former Miss USA confirmed her return to the next season of the Bravo series, which a source tells PEOPLE begins filming in May.
“I may be ‘Gone With the Wind Fabulous,’ but I’m not going anywhere! 🍑” she wrote, captioning a video of her dancing to her beloved 2012 song.
Moore, 53, is currently the RHOA‘s longest-running peach-holder. The show has recently faced a major casting shakeup that’s left production in limbo for months, off its typical shooting schedule.

Longtime RHOA star Kandi Burruss confirmed on Feb. 4 that she would be leaving the show after 14 consecutive seasons, while Marlo Hampton told PEOPLE exclusively on Feb. 24 that her contract “ended when season 15 wrapped.” Executive producer Andy Cohen said in a February episode of his SiriusXM radio show that Sanya Richards-Ross also wouldn’t be back.
Williams, who announced her “retirement” from the show after season 11, revealed on Feb. 13 that she’s coming back — a return that came with an overall scripted talent deal with NBCUniversal “across the company’s broadcast and streaming properties.”
The fates of Drew Sidora and Shereé Whitfield, last season’s other stars, remain up in the air. But with Moore’s return set, that means viewers can expect to see she and Williams, 42, share the screen again.

Both women joined RHOA back in season 5 and immediately became rivals, shading one another for years to come. Though they appeared to make peace after their birth of their daughters, things blew up again when Moore claimed Williams got intimate with exotic dancer Bolo the Entertainer during Cynthia Bailey’s bachelorette weekend.
It’s unclear where the two stand now, but Moore has said she’d be excited to work with Williams again.
“I would love that,” Moore told Entertainment Tonight back in February. “Honestly, the fans would love that, I would love it. We’ve had some magical moments on TV. I think that it would be brilliant casting.”

Both ladies have a lot in common right now, coming on the other side of heartbreak.
PEOPLE exclusively reported on Feb. 23 that Williams filed for divorce from her estranged husband Simon Guobadia, a source blaming their split on an “ongoing matter.” The former pair, who married in November 2022, have since been going back and forth in court filings, outlining troubling arguments the two have been having as they navigate their split.
As for Moore, she just finalized her divorce from Marc Daly.
“After more than three years of litigation, I have finally been granted a divorce,” Moore told PEOPLE in December in an exclusive statement about the private mediation. “I want to thank everyone who prayed for and uplifted me when I needed it the most.”
“I’m excited for this next chapter in my life and being the best mom I can be for my daughter, Brooklyn,” she continued. “As a hopeless romantic, I still believe my forever person exists and know I’ll have my happily ever after ending after all.”

And that “happily ever after” comes with Moore giving herself “permission to just live now.”
“I’ve never given myself that before; allowed myself the freedom to just let go and walk through life fully embracing every part of myself,” Moore told PEOPLE in February. “That’s what I want to do moving forward, because I’m tired of holding myself back. This ‘next chapter,’ as I’m calling it, is all about flourishing, removing myself from those burdens and stepping into me.”
A big part of that move for Moore is about quieting that critical voice in her head.
“I’ve always judging myself with my grandmother’s eyes,” Moore explained. “She was old-fashioned and very religious, and while I appreciated that and appreciated her morals, I feel like I’ve been wound a little to tight in the past. I’ve always contained myself, especially in my personal relationships. And I’m done doing that.”
The Real Housewives of Atlanta can be streamed in full on Peacock.
The search for missing 16-year-old Benjamin Braithwaite is over. Atlanta police announced just before midnight Thursday that he had been located, more than a week after he vanished from his Regency Trace home.
The department shared the update on social media but did not release additional details about where he was found or the circumstances surrounding his recovery.
Braithwaite had been missing since the night of April 27, when he was last seen around 9 p.m. at his home in Atlanta. His family said they had no contact with him during the entire time he was gone.
The disappearance of the KIPP Atlanta Collegiate High School sophomore and basketball team member had galvanized the Atlanta community. His family, teammates, Atlanta police officers and neighbors gathered at the school last week to raise awareness about his disappearance. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, where his mother works, joined the search effort — asking the public to watch for him at MARTA stops and fast food restaurants.
A $10,000 reward had been offered for credible information leading to his safe return.
“Even small details matter. Your awareness could make the difference,” the airport wrote in an Instagram post earlier this week.
FLOWERY BRANCH – The Atlanta Falcons are gearing up for rookie minicamp this weekend after a flurry of player moves over the last several weeks. General manager Ian Cunningham is not finished making changes to his roster, and the front office has reunited with another former player.
According to a press release from the team, the Falcons have signed cornerback Darren Hall and released safety Tysheem Johnson in a corresponding move.
Hall was originally selected by the franchise in the fourth round (108th overall) of the 2021 NFL Draft out of San Diego State. Over his four seasons with the Falcons (2021-22) and Arizona Cardinals (2024-25), he has appeared in 48 games (12 starts), registering 85 total tackles, three tackles for loss, six passes defended, one sack, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery.
In the time between his stints in Atlanta and Arizona, Hall was a member of the Indianapolis Colts’ practice squad (2023).
As a college player for the Aztecs, he tied the FBS lead for pass breakups with 16 in 2019. He appeared in 34 games (22 starts) over his three seasons (2018-20) with San Diego State, recording 134 tackles (101 solo), 31 passes defensed, eight tackles for loss, six interceptions, three forced fumbles, 2.5 sacks, and one fumble recovery. He was a first-team All-Mountain West selection following the 2020 season.
As a pro, Hall’s career has not gone exactly as he would have hoped. 10 of Hall’s starts came with the Falcons, and he largely struggled in 2022. He surrendered 362 receiving yards and four touchdowns on 27 receptions against 37 targets. The Falcons waived him in August 2023 in favor of rookie Clark Phillips III, Jeff Okudah, Tre Flowers, and Mike Hughes.
Hall is still a versatile player with solid tackling ability, giving him a shot at being a depth cornerback on this roster or earning a spot on the practice squad. He will face stiff competition to earn that spot, with Phillips, Cobee Bryant, Darnay Holmes, Mike Ford Jr., C.J. Henderson, and Natrone Brooks all standing in his way.
For now, he is the second player from that 2021 draft class (Terry Fontenot’s first as a general manager) to receive some form of a second contract (Kyle Pitts was franchise tagged earlier this offseason) – it just did not happen the way anyone expected. Hall now becomes the third former Falcon to join the roster via free agency this offseason after stints with other franchises (Austin Hooper and Olamide Zaccheaus).

EMS crews often face waits of an hour — or more — to transfer patients into hospital care.
