Cynthia Bailey of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” has spent the past few years of her life battling marriage problem rumors and trying to make it through with her husband, Peter Thomas, but now she has finally decided to speak out about the most recent rumors that have surfaced this week. A few days ago, rumors began spreding that she and Peter were on a rocky road again and that Peter had moved out of their Atlanta home. Read what Cynthia revealed to Entertainment Tonight and you can WATCH HER INTERVIEW AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE:
Via Entertainment Tonight: “Only God knows what’s going to happen with that,” Cynthia candidly tells ETonline. “There’s a point where, if it’s working, we’ll keep going. And if it’s not, then we might not keep going.”
Cynthia and Peter put all their issues out there in season eight…One memorably tense scene ended with Peter asking Cynthia, “I just want to know, when did you stop loving me?”
“I wasn’t prepared for that question, ’cause I didn’t know the answer,” Cynthia says. “You know, I just went into it to break up. [The relationship] just felt like so much work, like from the beginning,” Cynthia adds. “Even the wedding, everything was work … it’s exhausting. It’s exhausting in real life, and it’s definitely exhausting to watch it play out on TV.”
“I’m a lover of love,” Cynthia continues. “You know, I am the woman that will leave New York City and relocate with her child and nanny to Atlanta for love, OK? So, with that said, I think I get to be that same girl who can say, ‘You know, I think it’s time for me to pack up my tent — my love tent — and move somewhere else now.’ I just don’t feel that same peace and happiness that I was feeling, you know, when we started this journey,” Cynthia confesses.
CYNTHIA ALSO COMPLAINED ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF TIME PETER SPENDS AT HIS NORTH CAROLINA RESTAURANT, AWAY FROM HER IN ATL:
“We’re barely in the same house together, so counseling would be really tough to squeeze in,” Cynthia admits. “It’s something that he recently brought up … I think Peter is a lot more optimistic than I am.”
ON WHERE CYNTHIA THINKS SHE AND PETER WILL END UP FROM HERE & HOW SHE’S CONSIDERING MOVING TO L.A., PUTTING EVEN MORE DISTANCE BETWEEN THEM…
“I always thought that I would end up back in New York,” Cynthia says. “But, I’m kind of feeling L.A. … I love acting. Hopefully I move out to L.A., and there will be more acting opportunities. Peter has definitely pushed me in amazing ways,” Cynthia shares. “[But] I am taking it day by day.”
CYNTHIA THEN CONFESSED A VERY SHOCKING REVEVELATION TO THE WORLD WHEN ASKED IF PETER IS HER SOULMATE. SHE SAID NO, BUT THAT ACTOR, LEON (HER EX AND FATHER OF HER CHILD) IS:
“Leon and I are soul mates,” Cynthia reveals. “We just connected on a level that I never connected with anyone before … as you can see on the show, I think it comes through that we do have this great relationship.”
“When I met Peter, I said, ‘You know, I’m a package deal,'” Cynthia continues. “Of course he assumed that meant Noelle and I, but it meant Noelle, Leon and I … it takes a very secure man to be comfortable with that.”
Ouch, it can’t be easy for Peter to hear Cynthia’s confession about Leon, but at least she’s being honest.
One of the realest moments on the entire RHOA show was when Cynthia and Peter had that deep talk about their relationship, when Peter cried, as Cynthia was contemplating leaving him. It takes a real man to be able to let his guard down in front of cameras and the entire camera crew like that and it was a sad, yet great example of a real conversation between two people who come from the old school era and know how to at least give their relationship a try by dealing with their problems in a mature way. We wish them the best.
