However, her son, Brentt, was having none of that, and he made sure his mother celebrated the milestone in a big way. The 22-year-old threw a huge surprise party for his mother that went down at Leakes' Linnethia Lounge in Georgia.

Leakes was spotted hanging out with former RHOA costars Shamea Morton, Porsha Williams, and singer KeKe Wyatt at the party. Also present at the celebration was a special guest, Nyonisela Sioh.

Gregg also asked Leakes to move on with her life and be happy after he passed on.

According to TMZ, the sharply dressed businessman is Leakes' new fling. Since the photos from the party came out to the public, they have sparked numerous dating rumors.

Even though Leakes has not confirmed that they are dating, sources say that Peter Thomas, the ex-husband of Leakes RHOA costar Cynthia Bailey played the matchmaker and introduced Leakes to Sioh.

Not much is out there about Sioh, except that he is originally from Liberia, Africa, and owns a couture suit company in Charlotte, North Carolina. It is also unclear how long they have been dating.

The dating rumors come only three months after Leakes lost her husband of 25 years to cancer. Gregg, 66, passed on following a four-year battle with colon cancer.

The reality TV star opened up about Greggs final days, saying that all his children and closest friends were present. She shared Gregg's last words:

"I'm not going to leave you. God is going to bless you."
