Porsha Williams and her girlfriend, Patrice Sway McKinney, did not take a quiet couples trip to Miami. They took 14 people. Both families, one private jet, and a itinerary that moved from a yacht to a waterpark without losing momentum. For McKinney, who organized the entire trip, the point was never the activities. The activities were just how you get people in the same place long enough to actually connect.
McKinney is a business owner with a visible social media presence, and she documented the vacation on TikTok in a way that felt less like content and more like a home video that happened to go public. She captured the boarding of the private jet, the water activities, and the children running through a waterpark. The post landed warmly with followers, partly because it showed something that felt earned rather than performed.
How the Miami trip came together
McKinney organized the trip as a gift to both families, pulling together Williams’ relatives and her own for a shared experience in South Florida. The group rode jet skis, spent time on a yacht, and took Williams’ daughter PJ and her cousin Bailey to a waterpark. The children, by McKinney’s own account, were the highlight. Watching them navigate a new city together, build their own rapport, and wear each other out by the end of the day was what McKinney said she would carry from the trip.
Williams took to social media separately to thank McKinney for the effort it took to coordinate something that size. Fourteen people across two families, in a city that rewards advance planning, is not a small undertaking. Williams described it as exactly what she needed, which said as much about where she is personally as it did about the destination.
Porsha Williams and Sway’s relationship in public
Williams went public with the relationship in November 2025, introducing McKinney to her audience at CultureCon in New York City. The moment was deliberate. Williams has spoken openly about approaching love without fixed categories, describing her attraction in terms that center the person rather than the gender. She has used the phrase Sway-Sexual in interviews, a shorthand that her audience received with more warmth than skepticism.
Her approach to this relationship has been measured. She has said she is moving at a pace that feels right for her, which is a notable contrast to how her romantic life has played out publicly in the past. McKinney has matched that tone. Neither of them seems to be performing the relationship for an audience, even as the audience watches closely.
Travel as the through line
Miami was not the couple’s first trip together. They rang in the new year in Los Cabos, Mexico, which established early that travel would be a shared language for them. The Miami trip expanded that language to include family, which is a different kind of commitment than booking flights for two.
Taking both families on vacation signals something. It says the relationship has moved past the private phase, past the introductory dinners, and into the territory where the people who matter most to each of you are now in a group chat together planning what to eat for dinner. That is its own milestone, and for Williams and McKinney, Miami is where it happened.
