Cynthia Bailey Husband: A Tale of Love and Loss
After Cynthia Bailey’s divorce from Peter Thomas in 2017, The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum found another chance at love with FOX Sports newscaster, Mike Hill. The then-happy couple took their love to the altar, getting married in 2020 in front of over 200 guests at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Yet, no amount of beautiful moments — as beautiful as Bailey’s rose-gold gown during the wedding — could save their marriage from its inevitable demise. After only two years as husband and wife, Bailey and Hill announced their separation in October 2022.
Cynthia Bailey’s New Husband
Bailey, during past interviews, had nothing but good words to say about Hill and their relationship together. She was, to put it mildly, deeply in love. In a 2019 interview with Us Weekly, the reality star got candid about giving up on “the whole marriage thing” until she met Hill.
“After my divorce, I was like, ‘I don’t know if I’d ever get married again.’ Well, I kind of said, ‘I wouldn’t get married again,’ to be honest,” she said. “Now, my answer has changed…If you ask me, will I marry Mike Hill? The answer’s ‘yes’ because Mike is a whole person, I’m a whole person when we come together, we’re just great. It’s just easy, and it’s comfortable.”
Concerns and Hurdles
After a year of dating, the sports newscaster then proposed to Bailey — and according to the Celebrity Big Brother alum herself — they never stopped “dating each other.” Although Bailey was over the moon about her fiancé at the time, she was also concerned about possible cheating scandals given Hill’s past infidelity.
In an RHOA preview clip uploaded via Bravo, the television personality admitted she’s worried about Hill committing the same mistakes he did to his ex-wives. “I think I’m getting Mike at the best time in his life, right now,” said Bailey. “But he has cheated on his wives before me.
