“Big Poppa” on The Real Housewives of Atlanta was widely reported to be Lee Najjar , a real-estate mogul who was Kim Zolciak’s mystery boyfriend and sugar daddy on the show.

Why he was memorable

He became a fan-favorite topic because Bravo kept him off-camera for the most part, which made the relationship feel extra secretive and dramatic.

What viewers knew

  • He gave Kim expensive gifts.
  • He was tied to some of the show’s early, most talked-about storylines.
  • His identity was later reported by entertainment outlets as Lee Najjar.

Small caveat

Some online posts have repeated conflicting rumors about him, but the most consistently reported name is Lee Najjar.

In short: Big Poppa was Kim Zolciak’s wealthy, mostly off-screen boyfriend, later identified by multiple entertainment sources as Lee Najjar.
