‘Nothing Else Matters’: Cynthia Bailey Soaks Up Affection From Boyfriend Mike Hill Amid Soured Friendship With Nene Leakes

Cynthia Bailey may not have Nene Leakes as a friend anymore, but she’s got plenty of love from her main squeeze Mike Hill.

Bailey uploaded a tender shot of herself and the Fox Sports 1 sportscaster to her Instagram page Sunday, March 17, and wrote in the caption, “Grateful, humbled & always thankful✨ @itsmikehill #lovewins #CHill.”

Fans couldn’t help but beam at Bailey’s affection-filled photo.

“You two make a beautiful couple! @cynthiabailey10 I can’t wait to see your happily ever after.”

“Love this! Congratulations on finding true love ❤️”

“I see a TRUE AND GENUINE Love! So happy for you! Quick question Did I see Mike shed a tear?????? 🥰”

Then, Bailey’s man chimed in to further uplift his woman’s spirits.

“Nothing else matters, baby!! Some people don’t want to see you happy, especially when they’re miserable. You just keep smiling and shining like the star you are!! Love you!!”

“@itsmikehill I love you ❤” Bailey replied.

The sweet comment follows public drama with Leakes and her co-stars — whom Leakes collectively refers to as her “co-workers” after she said they “tried to come for me” at the “RHOA” reunion taping earlier this month. After that, Leakes unfollowed all but two cast members: Marlo Hampton and Shamari Devoe. Bailey was among the women who no longer grace Leakes’ timeline.

Leakes’ issue with Bailey stems from her inviting Kenya Moore to her Seagram’s Escapes beverage launch and Leakes not knowing about it.

“Cynthia’s done a lot of stuff, in my opinion, on the down low [that] is very sneaky and underhanded,” Leakes said in her Instagram Live stream March 12. “She has done a lot of stuff that you all just don’t get to see on the show that’s just, like, underhanded, and then I always come out looking like the bad guy. But she’s done a lot of f—ed up stuff.”

Bailey seemed generally unfazed, however. She simply left a comment on an “RHOA” fan Instagram account’s post of Leakes’ stream that let everyone know where the O.G. peach holder got her sunglasses.

“@cynthiabaileyeyewear,” Bailey said succinctly.

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.
