Aside from his marriage to Porsha, Kordell has never been married. A TMZ article says that it was Kordell who filed for divorce in 2013, stating the marriage was "irretrievably broken."

Another article by TMZ says there was no prenup. Porsha got nothing from the marriage while Kordell got homes, cars, all of his retirement benefits, and all the interest in his companies, although it's also reported that Porsha didn't want anything from the marriage in the divorce settlement. 

Fellow RHOA castmate NeNe Leakes said in a Bravo blog post that she had her own questions about the marriage. "We’ve all been around her and heard her say things that sound like she's being controlled," the post says. "Maybe Kordell feels the need to control her, because he knows what he's working with." 

The post goes on to say, "I watch the show just like you do, so based off everything I've seen and heard myself, it appears that Kordell is talking to his daughter and not his wife! Porsha can't seem to do much without getting permission from Kordell."
