Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Stewart discovered last month that her husband was filing for divorce on Twitter – and she's still getting over the painfully public news.RELATED: Porsha Stewart Shows Off Killer Body and Fabulous Style Post-Split!
"When you're married you definitely feel like you have the ability to communicate with your mate enough for them to come in and say, 'Hey, we're going to get a divorce.' But that didn't happen," Stewart tells PEOPLE. "I found out about [the divorce filing] on Twitter, which was surprising. I'm still in total shock."
Yet Stewart, 31, is trying to stay strong after her split with former NFL star Kordell Stewart, 40, and beginning to rebuild her life with the help of family and friends, including RHOA costars such as NeNe Leakes, who criticized the Stewarts' relationship in a blog on BravoTV.com prior to the split.
"I'm definitely blessed to have a strong support system around me," Porsha says. "NeNe, she's been through a similar situation in her past. She's telling me to take care of me right now, and that's what I'm doing."
Now that news of the split has begun to sink in, Stewart is starting to focus on rebuilding her life, and she's reconnecting to her "very independent" formerly single self.
"I had my own businesses and I gave that up to become 100 percent wife," she says. "At this point I am finding my way back to that Porsha, back to that independent woman who makes decisions on her own. I'm not living through someone else's eyes and I'm looking forward to that."
"I didn't get married to get divorced," she says. "This is not something that I wanted. But at the end of the day I feel there has to be a bigger blessing in this. ... There has to be something great for Porsha in the future."
