Nene Leakes Shares Updates on Her Relationship with Kim Zolciak

Nene Leakes has been opening up about her current relationship with Kim Zolciak, shedding light on their long-standing history and how they’ve managed to stay in touch despite their past. The two were cast members on The Real Housewives of Atlanta (RHOA) Season 1, and even though they have since gone their separate ways, they continue to live in Georgia and occasionally cross paths.

In a recent interview with Vulture, Nene described the “best reality TV feud” as being between her and Kim. However, she clarified that the rivalry is no longer an issue. “Kim and I are on a good page,” she told the publication. “We don’t have any problems. I’ve bumped into her several times.”

Nene also mentioned that she still keeps in contact with Kim. “I actually just DM’ed her the other day,” she admitted. “Thank you.” This level of communication shows that their relationship has evolved beyond the drama that once defined their time on the show.

Kim has also shown support for Nene on social media. On January 30, when Nene posted a photo of herself wearing a burnt orange turtleneck maxi-dress with feathered sleeves, Kim left several flame emojis in the comments, highlighting their ongoing friendship.
