Although the pair announced their divorce, they have yet to publicly disclose the reason for their split. The sports broadcaster last posted a picture of Cynthia on Instagram in August 2022, referring to the reality star as his “sunshine” on his “cloudy days.”
For Cynthia’s part, she last posted Mike on her Instagram the same month, wishing him a happy birthday through a lengthy caption. “Happy Birthday to this handsome, wonderful, smart, funny & super talented man!

After struggling to find the perfect wedding venue due to COVID-19 restrictions, Mike and the Bravolebrity managed to wed on their intended wedding date on October 10, 2020.
“God’s timing, not mine. God’s will, not mine,” she captioned a September 2020 photo of their engraved wedding glasses. “God’s plan, not mine. God’s glory, not mine,” she added alongside the hashtags “2020″ and “C Hill.”
As seen on the show, the duo experienced a few bumps along their wedding planning road as the Bailey Wine Cellar owner wanted to postpone their wedding date until the coronavirus restrictions were lifted. Mike, on the other hand, didn’t care about the grand nuptials and just wanted to tie the knot on their “lucky” 10/10/20 date.
How Did Cynthia and Mike Meet?
The duo first met while on the set of the Steve Harvey Show in January 2018 and went on their first date one month later. Mike popped the big question in July 2019, two years after Cynthia’s divorce from her first husband Peter Thomas was finalized.
