When did 'RHOP's Mia Thornton and Incognito start dating?
Mia ignited engagement speculations at BravoCon 2023 when she was seen sporting a large diamond ring. She addressed the whispers on the December 10, 2023, edition of 'Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,' stating that she was not engaged but "committed."
She did not, however, reveal the identity of her new lover.
Fast-forward to the beginning of January when Mia and Incognito became Instagram official. The Potomac "housewife" also changed her bio to add "almost [a] fiancé[e]."
Why did 'RHOP's Mia Thornton and ex-husband Gordon Thorton split?
Mia also discussed her split from Gordon, a businessman she married in 2012. She told 'WWHL' host Andy Cohen that their breakup was the result of a "sequence of events," as well as a "mutual" choice.
"We're co-parenting very well," she added. "We are communicating very well, contrary to public belief."
Mia and Gordon announced their separation in June 2023. Gordon revealed further details about their marriage in October 2023, citing Mia's adultery.
Gordon said that he allowed her freedom to see other guys as long as she followed certain ground rules. He went on to say that she disobeyed the rules and eventually left him for another man.
Fans of 'RHOP' couldn't help but note that the time of her estrangement with Gordon coincided with his ouster from the family-run enterprise.
