Cynthia Bailey’s Exes Leon Robinson and Peter Thomas Bond Over Actor’s Birthday

Actor Leon Robinson recently celebrated his 57th trip around the sun, and his pal and Cynthia Bailey’s other ex Peter Thomas wished him a happy birthday as a result.

The one-time Bravolebrity on March 9 uploaded a photo of himself and Robinson to his Instagram page a day after “The Five Heartbeats” star’s birthday, which was March 8.

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY KING, @wwwjustleon , you are a complete dude, nothin but LOVE, cool running. 🇯🇲 @sportsoneclt @cluboneclt @baronemiamibeach,” Thomas captioned the post.

But in between the other birthday wishes for the “Oz” actor from fans, Thomas’ followers remarked about how Bailey has good taste in men since she dated Robinson in the late ’90s and wed Thomas almost a decade ago.

“Well, I must say Cynthia got good taste!!! 😍”

“Cynthia sure can pull them! Two beautiful black men. Happy Birthday Leon!”

“I know… Cynthia has a GOOD eye. Happy bday! Enjoy!”

“Cynthia’s Men!👍🏽👍🏽”

“I just realize Cynthia like Jamaicans,” one person remarked, commenting on Thomas’ native country and Robinson’s propensity to play Jamaican characters, as he did in 1993’s “Cool Runnings.”

Bailey was never married to Leon, although they did date for a time. Their relationship resulted in the birth of daughter Noelle Robinson, who is now 19 years old.

Bailey’s first and only marriage is to Thomas. The pair wed in July 2010 in a lavish ceremony that was captured by Bravo cameras for “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” The pair split six years later, and Bailey has since moved on with Fox Sports 1 anchor Mike Hill.

Although both of the past relationships soured, Bailey now has a co-parenting relationship with Robinson. Last fall they sent their daughter off to Howard University together.  As far as how things are between the model and Thomas, the two still keep in touch.

“I never want to see anything bad happen to him and I hope that situation resolves itself and I wish him all the best,” Bailey said on “Watch What Happens Live” Sunday after being asked about Thomas’ arrest on bad check charges the other weekend.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

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.
