After teasing that she had reconnected with a past boyfriend who has since been identified as Incognito, who is an Atlanta-based radio personality, on the December 10, 2023 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy CohenMia soft-launched their relationship on Instagram on New Year's Day. 

She shared a photo of her wrapping her legs around her beau, whose face is not actually shown in the image, in front of a car. 

Mia referenced an angel number in the caption of her post, and she welcomed in the new year. 

"4.4.4. #2024," Mia wrote, along with a white heart emoji. "Let’s Go!"

 

 

Her BF also posted the same photo and he captioned it: "Today is special [Mia], it's been two decades since we celebrated my birthday together‼️ If only the world could see how we brought it in lol, cheers to our happily ever after," to which she responded, "My Love. My Heart. I'm so grateful for you. Continue to bless the world by being Y.O.U."

Is Mia Thorton Engaged to Incognito?

Though the RHOP cast member is wearing a diamond sparkler in the photo, she is not currently engaged as she previously explained. 

"I am not engaged; I am committed, yes," Mia said about the diamond ring when she attended BravoCon 2023 back in November. However, her Instagram bio as of January 2024 notes that she is "almost [a] fiancé[e]."

When Robyn Dixon appeared on WWHL on Jan. 7, she was asked about what she's heard about their relationship status given all the speculation. 

Andy Cohen was also curious about the conversations they've had. After calling Mia's split from Gordon "unfortunate," Robyn then commented on the engagement rumors: "So when we ask Mia questions, her response... she talks in kind of, like, circles. By the end of her speaking, I have no idea what the answer is. So I peeped that ring a long time ago and I asked her and she just said a whole bunch of 'blah, blah, blah,' and I was like 'OK.' So, I don't know."

Are Mia Thornton and Gordon Thornton divorced?

Though Mia is looking ahead to her future with her new boyfriend, she is still legally married to Gordon. "We're separated," Mia said when asked about whether she is officially divorced on WWHL.

Mia said that she separated from Gordon in June 2023, though she did not confirm the news of the split until three months later.
