Simon Guobadia’s father Stanley Guobadia had two wives

Simon Guobadia had revealed to Porsha during the premiere of 'Porsha's Family Matters' that he comes from a long line of polygamy. His father, Stanley Guobadia, was married to two women at the same time. But the shocking revelation is perhaps that Simon’s grandfather has had 25 wives in his lifetime. According to Page Six, Simon had told Porsha, “I come from a family where there was abundant love, but there wasn’t enough to go around.” The Nigeria native also added, “Where I come from, there’s nothing abnormal about having different women.” He continued, “As a matter of fact, there’s women from my part of the country that tell their husbands, ‘You can have one side b***h.’ And from time to time, the wife and the side b***h get together and make sure there’s not another side b***h.” Simon himself has been married thrice but not at the same time before tying the knot with Porsha in November 2022. He had even expressed to her that he was pro-polygamy during one of the couple's initial dates.
