Bravotv.com: How did it feel to finish your divorce?
Cynthia Bailey: It was very emotional. I felt happy and sad at the same time. I went into my marriage with a pure heart and with the best of intentions. This was my first marriage, and I wanted it to work. I know in my heart that I gave it all that I could give. So many beautiful things came out of my marriage, and I have absolutely no regrets. I did the best that I could do, and I'm good with that. Nothing is more important than my peace. I am happy to be at peace. Peter was my friend before he was my husband, and I am grateful that we are still friends. I will always love and support him.
