“The Real Housewives of Potomac” star Mia Thornton, 38, is reportedly separating from her husband, Gordon Thornton, 70.
The couple is ending their nontraditional marriage of 11 years after season 7 of the reality show spotlighted the pair’s issues of financial instability and the breakdown of the reality star’s relationship with her chosen sister, Jacqueline Blake.
As a result of their union, the Thorntons share two children.
“Like all marriages, ours has had its ups and downs. At this time, Gordon and I are separated, but my family is my No. 1 priority, and I am committed to doing whatever it takes to make sure we are okay,” Mia told People.
