Past with Kim Zolciak

Najjar was known to viewers as "Big Poppa" during Kim Zolciak's early seasons on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, though the show did not name him or show his face. Zolciak credited him with supporting her lifestyle, and their relationship sparked controversy amid questions about his marital status; she said he was separated. In 2008 she told PEOPLE, "We were engaged. And he’s a great person." They split in 2009, with Zolciak later calling him "the love of my life," briefly reunited in February 2010, and then ended the relationship for good. She also noted he was "legally married, but he’s estranged from his wife," and that a legal divorce had not been finalized.

Further details about Najjar's passing have not been released.
