Mia Thornton is ushering in 2025 with a significant shift in her personal life. The Real Housewives of Potomac star recently announced that she and her boyfriend, known as Incognito, have decided to part ways after dating for a year. The breakup comes as a surprise to many, especially given the couple’s very public romance on social media and Mia’s frequent praise of Incognito in her RHOP appearances.
Mia Thornton confirmed the news to PEOPLE, sharing that while she deeply cares for Incognito, her focus is now on her children and maintaining a healthy co-parenting relationship with her ex-husband, Gordon Thornton. “Inc is my best friend and perfect in so many ways, but I have decided to focus on my children and maintaining a healthy co-parenting relationship with their father,” she explained.
The couple’s split became public after Mia Thornton posted a New Year’s Eve selfie with her ex-husband Gordon, leading fans to speculate about the status of her relationship with Incognito. In the caption, Mia shared her hopeful perspective on the year ahead, writing: “NEW Year. New Beginnings. Cheers to living life to the fullest ? #momanddad #nye2025.” The image showed Mia and Gordon smiling together, which added to the curiosity surrounding their relationship.
Mia and Gordon, who share two children, 9-year-old Jeremiah and 7-year-old Juliana, separated in June 2023 after 11 years of marriage, though their divorce remains unresolved. Despite this, they have continued to co-parent and are clearly focused on keeping a united front for the sake of their kids. On her Instagram Story, Mia gave fans a glimpse into a quiet morning spent with Gordon and their children at a mountain-side restaurant, further signaling a cooperative approach to their post-divorce life.
Mia and Incognito’s split is particularly shocking for Real Housewives viewers who have followed their love story on screen. Over the past season, Mia has been outspoken about her strong feelings for Incognito, even incorporating him into her tagline: “Marriage can be temporary, but Inc is permanent.” Their connection appeared solid, and Mia often spoke about their future plans, including having more children together. Just last November, Mia told The Daily Dish that Incognito was eager to expand their family, with the couple discussing options like surrogacy and egg freezing. She revealed, “We’re gonna take our time… but he wants me to carry. And he wants to have two more, so pray for me.”
