Former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star NeNe Leakes was photographed kissing Memphis attorney Arthur Horne III Wednesday night at a Memphis Grizzlies game, signaling a new romantic relationship for the television personality.
Video footage obtained by TMZ shows Horne leaning in to kiss Leakes as they exited the arena following the game. Earlier in the evening, witnesses described the pair as “hugged up” and “really touchy-feely” throughout the game, indicating a clear romantic connection.
Arthur Horne III is a practicing attorney in Memphis, specializing in criminal defense and personal injury law, and operates his own law firm.
Leakes’s previous relationship was with fashion entrepreneur Nyonisela Sioh, which garnered media attention due to legal issues involving Sioh’s estranged wife. Leakes confirmed in 2023 that she and Sioh were taking a break, though rumors of a possible reconciliation circulated afterward.
Prior to Sioh, Leakes was married to Gregg Leakes from 1997 to 2011, remarried in 2013, and remained with him until his death from colon cancer in September 2021.
Leakes is likewise slated to appear on Bravo’s “The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th,” though her role will not be full-time, sources indicate she will have a significant presence on the show.
Representatives for Leakes and Horne have not yet responded to requests for comment.
