Cynthia Bailey Reveals She "Just Started Dating" Someone: “I Am in Love!”

The newly single RHOA alum has been working on the most important relationship of all, amid her divorce.

Newly single The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Cynthia Bailey is finding love in all the right places. Sharing a stunning Instagram selfie on Friday, November 11, she gave an update on her love life — but it had absolutely nothing to do with romance. 

How to Watch

In the caption, Cynthia wrote that she “just started dating someone a couple of months ago. MYSELF," adding, "I am in love!" She also added a white heart emoji, along with a "self-love" hashtag.

Naturally, her friends were more than here for the empowering message. RHOA's Kenya Moore, for one, commented, "Ok now," adding a heart eyes emoji, to which Cynthia replied with her own kiss and stuck-out tongue emojis.

 

 

Meanwhile, she's also keeping things friendly with her estranged husband Mike Hill. While announcing that they’d decided to go their “separate ways” on October 12, Cynthia and her ex noted in a joint statement to Entertainment Tonight that “no one is to blame” and they “remain good friends.”

When one BravoCon 2022 attendee asked the RHOA alum how she was really feeling during a Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen After Show fan Q&A that aired on October 18, she was visibly moved by the show of concern. “I’ve been doing good this whole time, so don’t make me get emotional,” she replied. “I am doing great. Thank you so much for the wellness check.” 

Weeks later, Cynthia shared on the October 31 episode of Tamra Judge and Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave’s Two Ts in a Pod podcast that she and Mike were still “very much” on good terms, though she doesn’t “want to go have sushi with him tonight or anything like that.” Further sharing that she has “good days and bad days,” the RHOA alum said that neither of them regrets their decision to divorce.

As for what she's looking for in the future, she added, "Love is great, but friendship has to be there. I truly want to be with my best friend.”

For now, though, Cynthia seems perfectly content with being her own best friend.
