Mia Thornton revealed the “breaking point” that led her to file for divorce from Gordon Thornton, shared an update on their new dynamic, and addressed a rumor that she and her new boyfriend, Incognito, are getting married next month.
The Real Housewives of Potomac star has hinted at marriage troubles in the current season, though the news of their split was still a surprise to many fans. Though they separated in June, the couple didn’t announce the split publicly until September.
“I want to say my breaking point was when he publicly decided to shame me,” said Mia of her choice to file for divorce last fall, in an interview with Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea podcast. “And I said, ‘OK, this is not what we’re doing.’ And I filed. Yeah, I did because I’m like, ‘Let’s go ahead and get this clock rolling’ … I just don’t want to be a part of it.”
In October of last year, Gordon accused Mia of lying and sneaking around even after he gave her permission to sleep with other people.
Despite Gordon’s remarks, Mia said she would “never publicly shame” him, and expressed the importance of Gordon maintaining a good relationship with the children.
“I’m trying to reel him in and we need to work together as a family. We have these beautiful babies that we’re raising, and being a mom is No. 1 for me,” she shared. “And I’m very proud to hold that title of being Supermom. And we have happy kids. I want them to stay happy.”
She then addressed their co-parenting relationship while they sort out the divorce.
“It’s going well. It is, now. And hopefully, it stays that way. I don’t keep the kids away from Gordon. I want him to be a huge part of their lives. I do want him to remain the kids’ hero. You know, that’s their dad,” she said, but admitted that the dynamic wasn’t always so friendly.
“I told him, ‘Hey, if you don’t get with the program, then you’re going to put me in a position to where you’re not going to see your kids,’” she went on. “So pick a side.”
Mia said he soon “got with the program,” and now Gordon accompanies Mia on dates with Incognito and the kids.
Though she plans on staying strong with Incognito, Mia denied the rumor that they’re getting hitched on April 4 – after she wrote a mysterious “4.4.4” caption last December.
“We have a wedding on the brain,” she said, “but I have to get divorced first! … So there is not a wedding in April, OK? 444 is an angel number that he and I share. It’s what we feel represents our connection,” as the number allegedly represents a higher realm’s “love, support and guidance.”
“[Incognito is] amazing in so many ways, and … he knows Mia without all of the exterior. He knows the core. I’m just happy he’s back in the mix,” she explained. “He has his own show. He’s a syndicated radio personality, and he’s in over 20 markets, so he’s booked and busy trying to keep up with little me — and I’m loving it.”
