Looks like Kenya Moore may have a new man — and it’s about damn time. The reality star separated from her ex-husband Marc Daly back in 2019 before filing for divorce over the summer of 2021, revealing that the pair had been having issues in their relationship for a significant amount of time and things were irreparable at that point. And while they’ll continue to co-parent their four-year-old daughter, Brooklyn, sources say Kenya has moved on and is dating again.
According to The Sun, the TV personality is said to be seeing Israeli entrepreneur Roi Shlomo, who the publication says is in his mid-40s and also happens to live in Atlanta. And judging by Roi’s credentials, Kenya certainly has a type because her alleged new boo is quite the businessman. He owns several businesses, including Turks & Caicos’ Aziza Restaurant & Lounge, Atlanta’s Kanvas Event Space, and a healthy food cafe called Kale Me Crazy.

His Kale Me Crazy franchise, in particular, has been such a success that after founding its first restaurant in ATL, he has since opened 24 other spots across the country, with plans to open his next one out in West Hollywood. While Kenya hasn’t publicly addressed claims that she’s dating Roi, she was recently spotted at his Aziza restaurant, with sources saying he’s expected to be featured on the upcoming season of “Real Housewives of Atlanta.”
In a previous interview with Best Self Atlanta, Roi said, “I was raised by my family to give back. Even when I was young, my parents and I would volunteer and donate food and time in Israel. It was and continues to be a source of joy.”
As fans will recall, the split Kenya went through with Marc had a significant impact on her personal and professional life. She admitted that she was struggling to cope with the end of her marriage and that it was difficult to balance her emotions with her responsibilities on the Bravo show. In addition, the feud between her and Marc played out in the media, which only added to the stress of the breakup.

Professionally, the separation may have affected Kenya’s behavior on the popular show. Some viewers criticized her for no longer being as fun and bubbly as in previous seasons, and there were rumors that she may not return for another season. However, Kenya remained committed to the show and continued to remain as a full-time cast member despite the challenges she was facing at the time.
