So the rumors are true. The speculation can be laid to rest, RHOA alum Cynthia Bailey and Mike Hill have CONFIRMED in a joint statement that the two have indeed SPLIT and are DIVORCING!
Bailey addressed the split in an exclusive statement to PEOPLE: “God does not make mistakes! I truly believe in my heart Mike coming into my life was destiny. I jumped in, both feet first and gave it my all.”
“Although that journey has come to an end,” she continued, “I am so grateful for our continued friendship, and the beautiful memories that we made together. God willing, I will find love again. Whatever is destined to be, will be; and I could not be more excited for my next chapter!”
Added Bailey, “I pray my friends, family, and fans will continue to be along for the ride with me in this awesome thing we call ‘life!’ Thank you for your continued prayers, support, and well wishes.”
Hill also provided an exclusive statement to PEOPLE: “I love Cynthia and will always love her because she is a phenomenal woman and a beautiful person.”
“Even though our relationship is ending, our friendship remains rock solid and for that I am grateful,” he continued. “Honestly, we’ve been thinking about going our separate ways for the last few months, so it was good for us both to have that time to process it all privately and I can smile knowing she’ll always be there for me as I will be for her.”
The two became engaged in 2018 and were married in October 2020. The wedding in Acworth, Georgia, a celebration with 250 guests, was part of Bailey’s sendoff season of RHOA after she announced her departure the following year.
At the time, she faced backlash from fans for throwing such a large party at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. In several photos for the event, guests were seen without masks and not following safety protocols.
