1. He and NeNe Met Through a Mutual Friend
When couples get together, one of the first things people want to know is how they met. For Nyonisela and NeNe, that introduction came from a mutual friend and former RHOA cast mate, Peter Thomas. Although news of their relationship first broke in December of 2021, it’s unclear exactly when they met.
2. Nyonisela Sioh Is A Pretty Private Person
Nyonisela may be dating someone who became famous for sharing her life with the world, but that doesn’t seem to be his style. While he does have an active social media presence, he doesn’t appear to be the kind of person who likes to share information about his personal life.
3. He Likes to Travel
The world is full of so many amazing places, and Nyonisela wants to see as many of them as he possibly can. He has gotten the opportunity to do lots of traveling over the years and has visited places worldwide. Some of the destinations he’s been to include Hawaii and Italy.
4. He Is an Entrepreneur
When people start dating public figures, many question their intentions. However, anyone who thinks that Nyonisela is only interested in NeNe for her money might want to think again.

Over the years, his clothing has been worn by several people in the entertainment industry.

6. Nyonisela Sioh’s Wife is Suing NeNe Leakes
According to an article from Essence, NeNe is facing a lawsuit from Nyonisela’s estranged wife on the grounds that she suffered emotional distress due to NeNe and Nyonisela beginning their relationship while he was still married. While this may sound like an unbelievable reason to sue somebody, stranger things have happened.
7. He Was Born in Africa
Nyonisela Sioh was born and raised in Libera, and he is very proud of his roots. In fact, his upbringing in the country played a very big role in his love for fashion and his decision to pursue it as a career. In an interview with Daily Guide Network, Nyonisela said, “I was born and raised in Liberia. My memories of growing up are bitter-sweet. Before 1990, times were great. My fondest memories are the ‘Color Days’ at school. I won the prize for the best dressed of the times.”
8. His Exact Age is Unknown
Currently, it doesn’t appear like information regarding Nyonisela’s official age is available on the internet. However, the consensus seems to be that he is between 58 and 60 years old. That makes him a few years older than NeNe, who will be turning 55 this year (2022).

10. It’s Unclear If He Has Any Formal Training in Fashion
While we know that Nyonisela attended several schools over the years, it’s unclear whether he ever went to school to study fashion.
