The new relationship comes just three months after Leakes lost her husband, Gregg Leakes, to colon cancer. Asource explainedthe quick connection to PEOPLE saying Leakes is “very happy right now.”
“She can’t stop smiling around Nyonisela. It’s still very new but she’s almost like a teenager with him, just light and giggly and feeling those new relationship butterflies,” the source said.
The source added that Leakes was responsible for taking care of Gregg as his health declined. “It was obviously very hard for NeNe after Gregg’s death, but she had been his caretaker for so long, she really lost what it was like to have a partner who prioritizes you,” they added.
“Nyonisela treats her like a queen. He’s constantly fawning over her, showering her with compliments and putting her needs first. She couldn’t have found a better guy to be with after her loss.”
Leakes confirmed the relationship with Sioh on Dec. 17 in conversation withThe Shade Room. “I will love Gregg forever & ever! Grieving is hard! Even harder & depressing alone,” she said. “Gregg and I had a very tearful conversation before his passing. His words to me were ‘be happy, keep smiling and he who finds you, has found a good one.'”
