‘Noelle Looks Jus Like U’: Fans Think Cynthia Bailey Looks Like Her Daughter In Throwback Picture

“Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Cynthia Bailey shared a throwback picture on Thursday, Dec. 10, which fans said resembled her daughter, Noelle Robinson.

In the photo for the cover of Cosmopolitan’s Summer 1998 edition, the supermodel wore a denim one-piece swimsuit showing off her toned figure.

The issue was a little over a year before Bailey, 53, gave birth to her daughter on Nov. 9, 1999.

Many fans compared the “RHOA” star to Robinson, who just turned 21 years old.

“You look like your daughter so beautiful split image of her,” one fan said.

Another person commented, “Looking like Noel.”

“Wow, Cynthia Noelle looks jus like u,” a fan added.

One commenter said, “Your daughter look exactly like you, beautiful.”

Both Bailey and Robinson are well aware of the comparison of their looks.

On Wednesday, Dec. 9, the “RHOA” star shared two photos of her daughter rocking a high braided ponytail and wearing an orange snakeskin jumpsuit as she posed on the lawn.

“mini me!🧡,” Bailey captioned the post.

Robinson previously posted photos of herself in black lace lingerie and captioned them, “You can keep the comparison 🖤” in reference to her mom.

The constant comparisons haven’t pitted the-mom and-daughter pair against each other, as Bailey and Robinson have often spoken about their close bond.

In September, the supermodel shared a series of photos of her daughter and captioned the post, “Out of nowhere the other day for no specific reason,  she told me she was so proud of me. Think I actually blushed.”

In the comments section, the 21-year-old wrote, “Aww I love you.” 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
