Cynthia Bailey and Mike Hill are getting divorced a few days before their second anniversary. While speaking to Entertainment Tonight, the pair revealed that they made the decision after understanding that they are growing apart. They stated,

“Love is a beautiful thing. While we both will always have love for one another, we have decided to go our separate ways. We are grateful that we remain good friends, and will always cherish the many memories we’ve shared together as husband and wife.”

They added that they appreciate the people who have accompanied them on their journey and their family, friends, and fans for their positive support as they move on and go their separate ways. They ended the statement by thanking everyone for their prayers and well wishes.

The pair had to go through a lot of ups and downs after getting married. A Twitter user claimed last year that Hill sent flirtatious messages to her and a picture of his p***s on Snapchat.

The duo later denied the claims, where Bailey described it as annoying and Hill decided to take legal action. Bailey also quit The Real Housewives of Atlanta to save her marriage.
