However, the body language in a photo along with the familiar face of her co-star, Falynn Guobadia’s, estranged husband, Simon Guobadia, sent social media into a frenzy with speculation.

On Monday, Williams confirmed that she was engaged to Simon Guobadia only after dating him for a month.

Simon, 56, is an incredibly successful businessman from Georgia with a whopping estimated net worth of $40 million. He graduated from the University of the District of Columbia with a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting. He is also a film producer and has produced films like Son of the South.
