The super fabulous Cynthia Bailey is officially off the market, thanks to a young guy who swept her off her feet!
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star shared details about her new romance with Us Weekly over the weekend at Bravo Fan Fest in Miami. Diving right in, Bailey confessed, “I’m very much in love. You know, dating is really not easy, especially at this point in my life.”
Despite being a “woman of a certain age,” she emphasized that this has not deterred her from dating. “I just said to God, ‘send me my person,’” she revealed to the outlet. “I didn’t give him a list or anything, and [the man who is from] Amsterdam showed up, and it’s been almost eight months now, and I’m really happy.”

So Are Fans Going To See Her Boo On The Show?
Cynthia, who met her man at an event in Los Angeles, disclosed that he will appear in some scenes when she returns to the show, but just as a “friend” in the upcoming season of “RHOA.”
“You do see some snippets of him,” she teased. “Like, we FaceTime a lot. And every time we would FaceTime, the cameras would be zooming in, so you might get a little sneak peek.” She added, “He doesn’t even watch the show. He has no idea what’s happening.”
Bailey has been single since her divorce from Mike Hill in December 2022. Before that, she was in a relationship with Peter Thomas in March 2017. So far, Bailey has praised her new man as an “amazing young guy from Amsterdam.” However, she clarified, “I wasn’t looking for a young guy. He found me.”
I know that’s right!
While Bailey is currently thriving in her new love, she’s also been enjoying her freedom away from the cameras. However, she shared earlier this year that she’s excited to return to the show: “We were No. 1 for so long. And to watch it not be No. 1 was really hard, even sitting on the sidelines. It really, really was,” she elaborated. “So I think some new blood was needed and from what I can tell, these ladies seem like they really have it going on and I’m so excited to meet them.”
She also mentioned back in May, “I’ve always been open to the idea of popping in and out as a friend. I did it last season. My fans loved it, I loved it,” she noted to Page Six. “Bravo was able to work around my schedule just letting me get in where I fit in.”
Season 16 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta (RHOA) is expected to premiere in early 2025.
