As we first reported, earlier today, Porsha filed for divorce against Simon after 15 months of marriage. In her petition, obtained by RadarOnline.com, Porsha claimed the marriage was "irretrievably broken" and "there are no prospects for a reconciliation."

Porsha was previously married to ex-NFL star Kordell Stewart. The two were married from 2011 to 2013.

Kordell filed for divorce in March 2016. Porsha claimed she was blindsided by the decision. In his petition, the ex-NFL star claimed their marriage was "irretrievably broken."

Per their divorce settlement, Kordell did not have to pay Porsha alimony or any one-time lump sum payment. The reality star kept her Mercedes and engagement ring. Kordell was awarded his 2 home and car collection. The agreement was shocking given the two did not have a prenup in place.
