Many reality stars such as “Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood” castmates Hazel E and Princess Love sent Cynthia fire emojis and heart eyes. Steve Harvey’s daughter, Brandi Harvey, also commented fire emojis under Cynthia’s post. 

“Living Single” star Erika Alexander entered the comments section and wrote a simple “Boom” under the four photos. 

Not only were Cynthia’s comments filled with celebrities and reality stars, but many fans admired how beautiful the 55-year-old model looked. 

“How are you in your 50s?? Heaven forgot to turn on your aging clock because d–m you are indeed fifty-fine! I celebrate you, gorgeous!”

One fan wrote, “If I don’t look this hot when I’m 50+ just throw me away!” Cynthia responded with laughing emojis. 

“D–m Cynthia, you look 18!”

“You make 50 look good” 

“Yes you better come through, you look like you never age.”

Fans also brought up her husband, Mike Hill, and noted that he’s a lucky man to have her in his life. 

“Mike’s a lucky man [fire emojis]”

“Come get her Mike!”

Mike and Cynthia tied the knot in 2020, after meeting each other in 2018, during a dating segment on “The Steve Harvey Show.” Fans had an opportunity to witness their journey of love and marriage during the 13th season of ‘RHOA.’ However, before Mike, Cynthia was married to successful entrepreneur Peter Thomas

Peter and Cynthia married in 2010, on RHOA’s third season, and were married for seven years before divorcing in 2017. Their divorce was caused by cheating allegations on Peter’s part. Although he has denied the rumors, it reportedly took a toll on Cynthia and their marriage as a whole. 

Their divorce was a main storyline that was highlighted during the show’s seventh and eighth seasons. 

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.
