Porsha Williams may be moving on from former husband Kordell Stewart after the pair finalized their divorce in December, but that doesn't mean the Real Housewives of Atlanta star has a new man in her life. 

While a TMZ report claims the Bravo beauty has been seeing 42-year-old Teodoro Ngeuma Obiang Mangue, who is the son of Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, the President of Equatorial Guinea and an abuser of human rights, according to Amnesty International, Williams herself exclusively tells E! News she has never even met the man who she has been accused of dating. 

"The TMZ report is completely false! I do not know Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, nor have I ever dated him," the reality star tells E! News in an exclusive statement. "When there is someone special in my life whom I wish to share I will let you all know. It has been rumored that I am dating many people." 

Williams added: "I am not focused on dating at the moment but rather the debut of my new single, "Flatline" available on Itunes on March 17th."

The celeb shared her feelings over her newly single status in an Instagram post on Dec. 5, writing "Today is the 1st Day of the rest of my LIFE" #blessed #lovinglife #favored #free," along with a graphic that read, "The future is exciting."

But her outlook wasn't always so optimistic, as Porsha admitted to being both heartbroken and blindsided by her split, although she remained strong in the wake of her struggle. 

"Divorces feel like a death in the family," Williams told costar Kandi Burruss during an emotional episode of the hit show which aired back in November. "It's the ending of something that I wanted for the rest of my life."

However, with the support of her family and friends, the stunner has persevered and seems to be in a much better place than ever. 

Not only has she been sharing sexy Instagram shots of herself, but she also recently reposted an inspirational message courtesy of Burruss which read, "When you have a dream or goal there will always be someone talking negative about it. When you make it happen, that same hater will be smiling in your face or somewhere still hating because you accomplished it without them...believe me I know! Go for your dreams & shock the world!" 

Williams and Stewart tied the knot on May 21, 2011.
