Cynthia Bailey is an American model, actress, and reality TV personality. She has had a thriving career since her big move to New York City at the age of 18. Unfortunately, ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ star had to wait for years before she could meet her lover and best friend in one person. In 2010, Cynthia joined the cast of the famous Bravo TV series while she was still married to her first husband, Peter Thomas. Fans saw the reality star’s tumultuous relationship with the club owner. Since then, they have wished for their favorite celebrity to find love and happiness in life! Let’s take a look at Cynthia Bailey’s personal life!
Cynthia Bailey’s Past Relationships
Cynthia Bailey had quite the reputation for getting wedding jitters right after her beaus popped the question. Despite being proposed in the most romantic settings imaginable, she did not feel quite right about any of them. One of the first men she refused to marry was Russell Simmons, an entrepreneur and record executive. In addition to being jilted in love, his string of miseries seems ongoing as he is currently surrounded by controversy after being charged with sexual assault allegations.
Cynthia took her time before moving on to a new man, Jayson Williams, who popped the question during halftime at a Brooklyn Nets game in 1996. It looks like she dodged a bullet yet again as her now ex-boyfriend was charged with involvement in the shooting and accidental death of limousine driver Costas “Gus” Christofi in 2002. After an eight-year trial, he pled guilty and got sentenced to five years in prison.
Cynthia had almost given up on finding love again when Peter Thomas walked into her life. The pair got married on July 24, 2010, at the Fernbank Museum of Natural History. They garnered much support from their fans worldwide, as their wedding was televised on the third season of ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta.’ But the two failed to build a happy home and mutually decided to call it quits. They announced their separation in 2016, but it took a year for the divorce to get finalized.
Cynthia Bailey’s Husband and Daughter
The “runaway bride” met the one true love of her life through a fun segment on Steve Harvey’s talk show. The host introduced three men to the eligible bachelorette, but little did he know that she would, fortunately, be walking down the aisle for one of them, two years down the line. The RHOA star met Mike Hill, Fox Sportscaster, and they formed a special connection while the cameras were still rolling on them.
