Where Mia Thornton stands with her estranged husband, Gordon Thornton
Mia has not confirmed the status of her relationship with Bobby; however, she declared herself “single” in a July 27 Instagram post. She shared the update after posting a series of old and new family photos featuring her estranged husband, Gordon Thornton, and her three children, Joshua, Jeremiah, and Juliana. Unsurprisingly, the posts caused some fans to speculate about a Mia-Gordon reconciliation, but Mia insisted she wasn’t romantically involved with Gordon… or anyone else for that matter.
“No G and I not back together,” she wrote. “We do see each other everyday and are deeply involved with raising our children together. So Grateful.”
Mia confirmed her separation from Gordon in September 2023, about 11 years after they tied the knot.
“Like all marriages, ours has had its ups and downs,” Mia told People magazine in a statement at the time. “Gordon and I are separated, but my family is my number one priority, and I am committed to doing whatever it takes to make sure we are okay.”
Mia filed for divorce from Gordon in 2024.

The couple’s post-split and co-parenting dynamic was heavily featured in RHOP Season 9, which also explored Mia’s rekindled romance with Incognito, aka Inc, a radio personality she had known since high school. Although Mia and Inc appeared to be going strong throughout Mia’s divorce process, they ultimately called it quits in late 2024.
“I’m a single girl,” she told BravoTV.com at the RHOP Season 9 reunion (January 9). “We’ll see how this plays out. Never been single a day in my life until today.”
The former Housewife shed more light on her and Inc’s split in her July 27 Instagram Story, stating the breakup was not her decision.
“Yes, I’m S I N G L E. Not by choice,” she wrote. “INC decided he didn’t want to wait any longer to take our relationship to the next step and I’m not ready nor in a position to enter another marriage right now. I’ve been married combined in both marriages for 15 YEARS, I think it’s fair to date and spend time with ME.”
Mia insisted she was still “deeply in love with” Inc, but it seemed their relationship could never be mended.
“Actions following the separation are placing a deep wound that may not be repaired,” she continued. “On both sides. Keeping it REAL.”

“So blessed. The glow you see… is what happens when you let go of people and situations that no longer serve you,” she wrote. “Surround yourself with people with high vibrations and exude confidence.

If it’s not making you HAPPY or Adding VALUE — leave it where you found it.”
