RHOA: Who is Mike Hill? Everything We Know So Far About Cynthia’s New Husband

Season thirteen of The Real Housewives of Atlanta is back and rolling, and it is already shaking up to be a drama-filled installment for sure! The series didn’t waste any time getting down to the gritty, as fans saw with the show’s premiere episode. Since we last saw these firecracker ladies, a lot has transpired in their lives. Two of the housewives have left the franchise, and newcomers have signed on to replace them. New businesses have been started, relationships have hit the skids, and fans even had a Housewives wedding!

That’s right! Cynthia Bailey recently walked down the aisle for the second time. She is now Mrs. Mike Hill and is currently enjoying all that comes along with being a newlywed. So who is Mike Hill? Here is all we know about this new Housewives Hubby.

10 He Works For Fox Sports

Mike Hill is an accomplished sports broadcaster and has worked in the business for over twenty years. He started by covered local events and worked his way over to ESPNin 2004, where he hosted  Sports Center, NFL Live, Baseball Tonight, and NBA Tonight. From there, Hill went on to work for Fox Sports 1.

Mike is a big name in his industry, having scored not one but two Sports Emmy Awards back in 1997.

9 Mike Is The Dad of Two Girls

Mike is a husband to a reality star, a sports broadcaster, and a family man. These days, he and Cynthia are enjoying their blended family of all daughters. Between the pair, they have three grown ladies whom they both adore.

Mike came into the marriage with two daughters, Ashley and Kayla and it is clear he loves them.

8 Mike Knows More Housewives Than Cynthia

Cynthia Bailey is certainly Mike Hill’s number one housewife, but she isn’t the only cast member who has become close with the handsome sportscaster. Many in the inner housewife circle have taken to the well-spoken sports broadcaster, befriending him and even working with him.

Former housewife Claudia Jordan also knows Hill well. The two worked together on a podcast called Unstabl’d. The unlikely duo worked together, hung together, and Jordan even referred to Hill as her brother. It looks like he fits into the Atlanta scene just fine.

7 He Is A Published Author

Mike Hill has done a lot in his lifetime. He has created an incredible career for himself, won two coveted Emmy awards, raising two beautiful daughters, and landed one smoking hot reality TV wife.

He also put pen to paper and published a memoir about his life. The book, Open Mike, was published in 2020 and is a raw and honest look at the broadcaster’s life, struggles and demons, and the road to redemption.

6 Mike Has Had Fidelity Issues In The Past

Before marrying Cynthia Bailey, Mike Hill was married twice before. His first marriage lasted for ten years, and his second one lasted for eleven. In Hill’s revealing book Open Mike, he reveals to the world that one of the reasons for the demise of those previous unions was his inability to remain faithful.

He disclosed that he cheated on both wives before and admitted to not being a whole man until recently.

5 Mike Enjoys A Workout

It is no great surprise that Mike Hill has a thing for exercising; he does spend a lot of time in the company of top-tier athletes. Mike has shared his fitness journal with followers on social media for some time now, chronicling his road to a healthier self through his sweaty videos.

Mike is looking good these days, and we bet his new wife sure appreciates all of his hard work at the gym!

4 Hill Is A Veteran

For many years, Mike has made a name for himself through sports broadcasting. He has since branched out to be a part of his now-wife’s hit reality television show, and he does a podcast as well and is an accomplished writer. Before getting into the entertainment business, Hill served in the armed forces.

After graduating high school, he enlisted as a reservist in the U.S. Air Force.

3 Accomplished Actor And Producer

The entertainment industry seems to be Hill’s niche, and there isn’t much left that he has not tried. Besides sports broadcasting, hosting podcasts, and working in reality television, he has also tried his hand in acting and producing.

Hill snagged the lead role in The African Globe Theater of Newark’s Miss Evers’ Boys and starred in a smattering of small independent projects. He is also the CEO of Thrill of Entertainment.

2 He Is Close With His New Step-Child

Mike is a doting father to his two grown girls, but he certainly has room in his heart for more children, particularly his new wife’s only child, Noelle. Noelle moved out to the west coast and stayed his Mike before he and Cynthia were ever married.

With Mike’s daughter Kayla out there, too, the L.A. base started feeling like a cozy, full abode. Mike considered Noelle one of his kids from the jump and made it clear that his home was home to everyone.

1 He And Cynthia Are Now Living In Two States

Cynthia’s life has been in Atlanta, but Mike’s has been on the West Coast. The pair have had to figure out where home exactly is for them and their children. For now, they are keeping both the Atlanta house as well as the California home.

During quarantine, everyone in the gang hunkered down at Mike’s west coast pad. Time will tell whether or not the bi-coastal thing pans out or if the pair make a permanent move to one place or the other.
