And just in case you aren’t getting enough of Bailey making moves in TV, she and her new fiancé Mike Hill are making their romance into a show to help singles.

“It’s such a blessing that we were able to find love again,” Bailey explains exclusively to Atlanta Black Star beginning at the 2:30 mark. “We actually have a new show we just got a development deal for. It’s called ‘The Hookup’ and we wanted to take our love and experience and excitement and actually help other people meet people. So, stay tuned for that. We’re in the early stages for that. And the great thing is, we’re going to be hosting the show.”

“A dating game,” Hill added.
