Nene Leakes Reveals How She Really Reacted to Cynthia Bailey's Engagement
The Real Housewives of Atlanta Georgia Peaches did not end Season 11 in the best place.
Nene Leakes and Cynthia Bailey may have been on the outs the last time we saw them at The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 11 reunion, but that doesn't mean they're not rooting for one another.
Following rumors that she may not have been so excited about Cynthia's recent engagement to Mike Hill, Nene took to Instagram to set the record straight, making it clear that she is, in fact, thrilled for her fellow Georgia Peach's next chapter. "I sent @cynthiabailey10 the [night] of her engagement a beautiful gift and card," Nene wrote on Instagram. "I couldn’t be happier for her finding love again."
Cynthia confirmed that there's no beef brewing between herself and Nene over her engagement. "Thank you for your beautiful gift. Especially the card. Both were a lovely surprise," Cynthia wrote in the comments to Nene's Instagram post. "It meant a lot."
The future of this RHOA friendship is still unclear following their drama over Kenya Moore's invitation to Cynthia's event in the Season 11 finale and subsequent tension at the reunion. Nene tweeted that she "will NEVER be OK" after this incident, while Cynthia seemed more optimistic that they could get their relationship back on track — one day.
"You know, I will always have love for her, and I never say never, like honestly. But it ain't gonna be next week. We need some time," Cynthia said during an appearance on Strahan and Sara in April. "You know, again, sometimes friendships need a break, and I feel like looking back on everything and knowing the kind of person that I am and the friend that I've been to her, this friendship just isn't healthy for me at this point."
Nene and Cynthia open up more about the future of their friendship in The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 11 After Show, above. Relive their RHOA Season 11 reunion drama, below.
