Fans gushed over the mother-daughter duo, and couldn’t agree on whether Noelle looked more like Bailey or her father, actor Leon Robinson.

“Mini you and Leon šŸ™,” wrote a follower.

“You both are Beautiful, but she looks like Leon,” a second stated.

“She pretty look like Her Dad Leon šŸ’•,” noted a third.

“Twins for sure!!! Rhoa is serving nothing but love and happiness today!!! Much needed. ##Best mom ever!!! Beautiful Noelle!!!,” a fourth exclaimed.

“She really is ur mini me!,” agreed a fifth. “Beautiful! ā¤ļøšŸ™šŸ¼āœŒšŸ¼”

“Aww yall Look just alike that is your twin,” a sixth fan said.

Noelle, who came out as sexually fluid in 2019, recently made her relationship with girlfriend Alexis Powell public during an episode of the Bravo reality series. “People try to box everyone in and put labels on everything, but I don’t really do that,ā€ Noelle told her mother. ā€œI just like who I like, and that’s just what it is. There’s a lot of attractive guys, and there’s a lot of attractive girls.ā€

Bailey, who admits that the news surprised her, is doing all that she can to make sure her daughter feels loved and supported. ā€œI’m adjusting well,ā€ Cynthia told Bravo when asked about how she’s adapting to being involved in this new part of Noelle’s life. ā€œShe’s happy in her relationship, she’s happy being in Los Angeles. As a mother, all you want is for your kids to be happy.ā€ 

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
