‘I Love This Woman Right Here:’ Mike Hill Publicly Declares Affection for Cynthia Bailey

Cynthia Bailey and Mike Hill are unmistakably in love. The couple has been dating exclusively for five months and the Fox Sports 1 sportscaster is still as smitten as ever with his model girlfriend.

“All that glam and celebrity sh*t don’t mean much to me,” he captioned a Dec. 19 selfie of Bailey on Instagram, which he tagged his location as “Heaven on Earth.” “Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate what goes into all of that but when it’s all said and done, I love this woman right here. She’s just the epitome of beautiful. That’s why God continues to give her her shine. Love and light. @cynthiabailey10 #NaturalBeauty #GodIsGood.”

It seems Bailey made the trek to Los Angeles last week to spend some time with her man. Hill also posted a photo of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star cooking up a breakfast of pancakes in his kitchen.

“And she cooks TOO?? Complete woman. Only time my stove really gets used. @cynthiabailey10 #HomeCooking #HotcakesFromHotMomma #MyHouseWifeIsBetterThanYours #BeverlyChills,” Hill wrote.

Regarding his selfie, fans were just as psyched about Bailey for Hill as he was.

“You two are just TOO cute together!#BlackLoveIsBeautiful.”

“@cynthiabailey10 you look genuinely happy.”

“So happy for you @cynthiabailey10 #teamlove.”

“You have such a beautiful lady.”

“The kind of man @cynthiabailey10 deserves ✨❤️”

Bailey met Hill in February when the pair appeared on “Steve.” Bailey, who had divorced husband Peter Thomas two years earlier, explained how things were fairing between the couple on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” recently.

“We’re not really rushing,” she told the host when asked about a timeline for a marriage proposal. “We have very serious intentions, I’m totally open to getting married again but it’s not like — we don’t have a deadline.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
