MARYLAND, POTOMAC: 'Real Housewives of Potomac' star Mia Thornton's new partner Incognito is a prominent radio personality in Atlanta, hosting the highly successful 'Posted On The Corner' show on Hot 107.9. He's also said to be Mia's high school romance and their love has rekindled again after years. 

Immersed in the world of hip-hop, Incognito is recognized as one of the most influential figures in Atlanta. Notably, he is five years younger than Mia.

Despite his significant influence, Incognito has managed to keep a low profile. This became evident when Mia shared an image with him, deliberately concealing his face and keeping his identity under wraps.

The cryptic post sparked wedding rumors as Mia ensured that Incognito remained in the shadows, allegedly teasing the audience with a wedding date

Despite Mia's Instagram post hinting at an engagement by showcasing a diamond ring and teasing a mysterious date, sources close to the couple have debunked the engagement rumors in an Instagram post. 

Contrary to the initial impression, it appears that Mia and Incognito have not taken the plunge into engagement or marriage as of now. Adding to the intrigue, Mia strategically concealed Incognito's face in the post, maintaining an air of mystery around their relationship.

The social media post sparked speculations, however, insiders stated that the engagement buzz may be premature, and shared that the couple is committed and "heading in that direction when the time is right." 

Why did Mia Thornton leave her ex-husband Gordon Thornton?

In September 2023, Mia Thornton confirmed the end of her 11-year marriage to Gordon Thornton. The decision to separate came after the couple faced a series of "changes" in their relationship, a narrative that unfolded on Season 8 of 'The Real Housewives of Potomac'.

The challenges, including financial shifts related to their business, forced them to downsize and navigate a complex terrain.

Viewers witnessed the couple's journey, and during a therapy session in Episode 5, Mia opened up to Gordon about how these issues had a profound impact on their family dynamics.

"We have recently gone through a financial change with our business, and having to downsize, and having to navigate a lot," Mia told the therapist on the episode.
