Real Housewives star confirms split from boyfriend to ‘focus on kids’

After a year-long relationship which saw engagement rumours and talk of children, a Real Housewives star has announced her split as she ‘focuses’ on her children

The Real Housewives of Potomac star Mia Thornton has split from her boyfriend, Incognito after a whirlwind romance. The 40 year old dated Incognito, who goes by the name of Inc, for a year and even sparked engagement rumours in January.

However, Mia confirmed the end of their relationship to The Shade Room this week and said she was ‘focusing’ on her kids and ‘co-parenting’ with her ex-husband. She revealed: “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.”

The former couple had initially dated back in high school but sparked up a romance again around a year ago. They had sparked rumours of an engagement in January this year, but by New Year’s Eve, speculation emerged about a split after Mai shared a selfie with her ex-husband, Gordon Thornton.

In the caption, she wrote: “NEW Year. New Beginnings. Cheers to living life to the fullest. #momanddad #nye2025.” Interestingly, her Instagram handle has remained as, @MrsMiaThornton, despite splitting from her husband in June 2023.

They were married for 11 years but are yet to finalise their divorce. Gordon and Mia share two children together, son Jeremiah, nine, and daughter Juliana, seven.

Mia is also a mum to her teenage son, Joshua who she welcomed from a previous relationship. Just a month before her split from Incognito, Mia spoke about the possibility of welcoming more children.

Speaking to The Daily Dish, she said: “Inc does want more children. We’re gonna take our time, and I’m not opposed to having a surrogate, but he wants me to carry. And he wants to have two more, so pray for me.”

She added: “We’re taking our time, and when the time comes we will make that decision. But I’m definitely exploring options, like freezing my eggs and things like that.”
