Season 16 of Real Housewives of Atlanta is officially underway. Only one episode in, major life updates are sounding, showing that many members of this cast have a lot going on. Drew Sidora and Ralph Pittman are no exception.
Drew and Ralph called the time of death on their marriage at the tail end of RHOA Season 15. For many viewers, their announcement was less than shocking. Ralph has long lived underneath the microscope in this series, as other female specimens were allegedly swimming around in his Petri dish. Then Tampa entered the chat, showing Ralph taking a mysterious trip sans Drew, but nothing duplicitous happened here, he claimed, once Season 13 aired.
Nevertheless, their marriage is ending. As Drew explained in the premiere episode of Season 16, Ralph has since exited her building. But after his departure, Ralph reentered their mansion via a separate door. Here is a breakdown of their divorce and their less-than-ideal living situation, including an update on where Drew and Ralph now stand.
Drew Sidora and Ralph Pittman filed for divorce at the tail end of RHOA Season 15
Sometimes, production teams think they have their entire season figured out. But then, a bombshell drops. Cue their cameras going back up to capture additional storylines. This scenario is what happened at the end of RHOA Season 15.
Season 15 was supposed to wrap with a preview party for The Pass, a film Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker produced. This event happened in January, and after the party, the cast clocked out with their peaches, thinking Season 15 was in the can. Then, here comes March, saying NOPE. In March, Drew and Ralph filed for divorce, and the cameras returned to filming to capture this alternate ending for RHOA Season 15.
As these additional episodes aired, Drew explained that many things had happened during their marriage. But sadly, their issues were “not getting better” with time. “I lost my voice in the marriage. And I allowed things that no woman should ever allow,” Drew added, finally acknowledging all red flags and her current green light telling her to run.
When RHOA Season 15 wrapped (again), we learned that “Ralph has apologized for his role in the disintegration of their marriage … not to Drew, but to PEOPLE magazine. Drew and Ralph continue to cohabitate in their home[,] co-parent[ing] their children.” And then, their cameras went down (again).
Several weeks later, Drew appeared on Watch What Happens Live. She reached her breaking point, she explained. When Andy Cohen asked if Ralph had ever been unfaithful, Drew grew emotional. Cheating did occur, she admitted.
In the premiere of RHOA Season 16, Ralph Pittman is living with Drew Sidora in their lower-level penthouse
RHOA Season 16 kicked off with a bang. Naturally, Drew appears, updating the viewers about where she and Ralph now stand. Their cameras turned back on in May 2024. And, as Drew explained in Episode 1, Ralph was then living in the basement of their mansion, located in the Sugarloaf Country Club neighborhood in Duluth, Georgia.
Drew and Ralph took measures to make their awkward living situation (somewhat) work. For example, Ralph does not use the front door. That door is for Drew and their children. Instead, Ralph uses a separate entrance, and his living space is solely for him and their children.
Drew is not allowed into his basement, AKA his lower-level penthouse residence, unless Ralph grants her his blessing. And, if they need to communicate, they must do so via a court-approved app. And yes, every word they type is easily assessable by their judge. However, Drew also revealed that Ralph still likes to argue with her in this app, which, oops, Ralph.
As Drew admitted in the premiere episode of Season 16, she thought Ralph would be eager to leave and cleave the streets of Atlanta. Instead, he chose to stay close to home. A home in which Drew must now vacate every other weekend.
Where do Drew Sidora and Ralph Pittman stand today?
As we watch Season 16 of RHOA, we must remember that (almost) an entire year has since passed. These series never air in real-time. So, where do Drew and Ralph stand now that our calendars have turned several pages? Since zero move-out narratives have hit the internet, we did some sleuthing, and from the looks of it, Ralph remains living in his lavish lower love castle built for one.
At the start of 2025, Ralph posted a fun snow day reel featuring himself and his children. “We took advantage of this snow day[,] and no one got hurt,” he penned. In his reel, Machai and Aniya, his children with Drew, are sledding down a hill in Atlanta. Then, we got a fantastic update, seeing Josiah sledding beside them in his reel.
No, Ralph did not adopt Josiah. But he remains present in his life. I also loved watching each kid eat it at the bottom of the hill as Ralph chuckled off-camera.
But guess what we spotted in the background of this reel? Their mansion in Duluth. While Ralph could have been dropping in to see the kids, it is more likely he still lives at this address.
As for Drew, she is moving forward with her life, focusing on the children and her music. And yes, Dennis McKinley, the ex-fiancé of Porsha Williams, helped Drew with her new album. But no, they are not dating.
But yes, this situationship is likely to cause a few waves on RHOA Season 16.
Real Housewives of Atlanta is streaming on Peacock.
