Cynthia Bailey’s Boyfriend Hopes to Marry Her, Teases Valentine’s Day Plans

Things are continuing to go well for Mike Hill and Cynthia Bailey, and the Fox Sports 1 newscaster is sharing his hopes to make things permanent with his girlfriend.

Taking to his Instagram Story Monday to answer a few questions from fans, Hill explained he is looking forward to the day he can marry “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star,  whom he’s dated for seven or so months.

“Doo do do do, do do do do,” Hill says humming “Here Comes the Bride.” “God’s will. Hope so.”

Next, he was asked about his plans for Valentine’s Day this Thursday.

“Well, I think you already know the answer to that question,” Hill says, noticing that Bailey is the one who submitted the question. “But I want more than anything to have continued peace and happiness, which, of course, you’re helping to provide.

“I think you guys know who this is from,” he adds.

While Hill remained coy about what exactly he has up his sleeve for Bailey on the annual day celebrating love and affection, he was clear that he wants to marry his girlfriend.

And Bailey has been very open about her hopes to become Mrs. Hill.

While speaking on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” in January, Bailey said she’s been spending lots of time in Los Angeles of late, rather than relaxing under the Southern skies of Atlanta.

“I’m in L.A. now. This is Mike’s city. I spend a lot of time in L.A.,” she said before dropping a major bombshell. “And yes, I can confidently say that Mike and I will be getting married.”

Bailey noted the pair talk about marriage often and back in December, she acknowledged there’s no firm time earmarked for the big day to occur.

“We’re not really rushing,” she admitted on WWHL at the time. “We have very serious intentions, I’m totally open to getting married again but it’s not like — we don’t have a deadline.”

It’s a marked switch for Bailey to be so giddy about the prospect of marriage. When she split from Peter Thomas in 2016, she swore off ever walking down the aisle again.

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.
