‘Lil Cynthia’: Fans Claim Noelle Robinson Looks Like Her Mother Cynthia Bailey

One thing for certain is that Noelle Robinson is the spitting image of her mother Cynthia Bailey, according to fans. On Wednesday, May 6, Robinson lit up the internet by posting a steamy photo on Instagram. The 20-year-old Robinson flaunted her curves, causing fans to believe that she got her modelesque looks from her mama.

Donning a black strapless bodycon dress, the model stood beside a black Mercedes-Benz to strike her pose. To add a bit of bling to her simple outfit, she sported a pair of clear sunglasses and large silver hoop earrings. Her hair, which was pulled back into a low ponytail, was ombrรฉd from black to red. Robinson hinted in her caption that she was feeling her look. She wrote, “a lil spicy ๐Ÿ’‹๐Ÿฅต.”

Bailey, a reality star of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” posted a photo on Instagram at the beginning of the year that showed her modeling in her early 20s. Fans mistakenly thought the young Bailey was her daughter. Mimicking Bailey’s career, Robinson signed with Major Model Management in 2018. The agency, which is located in New York, helped Robinson land a spot on the runway during the 2018 New York Fashion Week.

Although Robinson works with an agency located on the East Coast, she currently resides on the West Coast, where she lives with Mike Hill, Bailey’s fiancรฉ, in California. She moved to the City of Angels last year to advance her modeling and acting career.

Still independent.

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.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
