Hours after leaving fans devastated with the news of her and her husband’s separation, Cynthia has opened up about their decision.

The TV star noted that they did not want a repeat of what had happened in their previous relationships. Cynthia referenced her former marriage to Peter Thomas, which spanned eight years. According to her, waiting that long to discover that she and Mike were incompatible was not the best option.
Cynthia also addressed the rumors that claimed Mike was unfaithful, hence their divorce. She noted that her estranged husband did not have a romantic relationship with any other woman throughout their two-year marriage. So, considering the RHOA alum’s revelation, Cynthia Bailey split with Mike Hill solely because they “outgrew each other.”
