Mia Thornton Opens Up about the Crucial ‘Breaking Point’ Prompting Her Decision to Divorce Husband Gordon

Mia Thornton, star of “Real Housewives of Potomac,” has opened up about the breaking point that led to her decision to divorce her husband, Gordon Thornton. In an exclusive interview with Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast, Mia revealed that she filed for divorce after Gordon publicly shamed her in October 2023. His disparaging remarks pushed her to make their split permanent. Mia explained, “I just don’t want to be a part of it.”

The couple had separated in June 2023 but didn’t publicly announce their breakup until September. One month later, Gordon gave an interview to TMZ where he revealed that he gave Mia a hall pass to sleep with other men to satisfy her needs. He expressed frustration with Mia wanting to leave their 11-year marriage and accused her of lying and changing her story. Mia was incensed by his remarks but emphasized that she would never publicly shame Gordon. She wants to preserve his relationship with their two young children.

Despite their differences, Mia and Gordon are working on establishing a healthy co-parenting dynamic as they navigate their divorce. Mia is currently dating radio DJ Incognito, her high school sweetheart whom she reconnected with. She is happy that they have finally found a way to co-parent effectively and wants Gordon to remain a significant part of their children’s lives. Mia warned Gordon that if he didn’t get with the program, he would risk not seeing his kids.

Gordon eventually “got with the program” and now frequently joins Mia and Incognito on dates with their children. While Mia expects her relationship with Incognito to go the distance, she clarified that they are not getting married in April, dispelling rumors sparked by a social media post. The number 444 holds significance for them as an angel number representing love, support, and guidance.

In the meantime, Mia is enjoying reconnecting with Incognito, praising him for knowing the real Mia without all the exterior. She describes him as amazing and is thrilled to have him back in her life. Incognito is a syndicated radio personality with his own show, keeping busy in over 20 markets.

Fans can catch Mia Thornton on “The Real Housewives of Potomac,” airing on Bravo Sundays at 8 p.m. ET. While her personal life has had its challenges, Mia remains focused on being a dedicated mother and creating a positive environment for her children.
