The news of their split has shocked fans and followers, as the couple had tied the knot in a lavish ceremony just over a year ago.
According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE, Williams filed for divorce from Guobadia in Atlanta, marking the end of their whirlwind romance. The couple’s relationship had been a topic of discussion in the media, with rumors swirling about Guobadia’s citizenship status.
