Cynthia Bailey Reveals It’s Love Over Marriage As She Speaks About Single Life
In a recent exclusive interview with PEOPLE, former Real Housewives of Atlanta star Cynthia Bailey shared insights into her newfound single life and career aspirations, offering a unique perspective on single life.
Cynthia, who was previously married to Fox Sports correspondent Mike Hill in 2020, announced their separation in October 2022 and finalized their divorce in December of the same year. Since then, she has been navigating the world of dating with cautious optimism.
“I am a single woman,” she stated confidently at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas, where she opened up about her current relationship status. While she said she has met someone she genuinely likes, she is taking a deliberate and measured approach to her romantic life, emphasizing that she remains open to meeting other potential partners.
In her words: “There’s someone that I really like dating a lot, but we’re taking it slow. I’m still open to dating other people…I don’t know if I found my person yet, but I’m still on the hunt for my person.”
In an era when the pursuit of marriage often takes center stage, Cynthia’s viewpoint provides a refreshing perspective. “It doesn’t have to end in a marriage,” she said, underscoring her primary desire for love and a deep emotional connection. Marriage, while not excluded, is not her immediate focus, according to her.
Bailey, renowned for her past career as a runway model and entrepreneur, described herself as “down to earth and normal” and eagerly anticipates the prospect of meeting a special someone in the future. While she made a cameo appearance in The Real Housewives of Atlanta recently, Bailey made it clear that her foremost dedication is to her acting pursuits.
“I actually still have some very great organic friendships with a lot of the ladies on the show, so it was fun the season to be able to just pop in and just say hello,” she shared.
Last month, viewers of The Real Housewives of Atlanta witnessed the poignant moment when Cynthia’s divorce from Mike was officially documented. The emotions ran deep as she shared the news with friend Kenya Moore, evoking empathy from viewers who understand the complex feelings associated with such life-altering decisions.
When she filed for divorce in October of the previous year, she released a statement expressing gratitude for the shared experiences with Mike and a sense of destiny in their connection. Mike also shared his sentiments, characterizing the reality star as a “phenomenal woman” and expressing continued admiration.
