Cynthia\u00a0Bailey\u00a0has nothing but \u201clove and respect\u201d for her ex-beau\u00a0Leon Robinson.<\/p>\n
The Real Housewives of Atlanta\u00a0friend addressed the relationship in a recent interview with\u00a0The Daily Dish, insisting she and Leon have\u00a0maintained a tight and supportive bond since their split over 20 years ago. Cynthia said she was particularly proud of how she and Leon raised their 25-year-old daughter,\u00a0Noelle Robinson\u00a0\u2014 so proud, in fact, that she believed they\u00a0\u201cdeserve[d]\u00a0a co-parenting award.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe do a pretty good job,\u201d Cynthia said about her dynamic with Leon.\u00a0\u201cI think, for me, the secret sauce is I had the right baby daddy. You know, we had great chemistry just in terms of who we were as people. I knew that this was someone that, regardless of how the relationship went, I could be friends with this person for the rest of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cynthia confessed\u00a0she never worried about an unplanned pregnancy with Leon, as she quickly knew she wanted a family with him.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was someone that I loved and I respected. And I\u00a0wanted to make a baby with him,\u201d she said. \u201cDuring the time when I got pregnant, I was like, \u2018You know, let\u2019s just say, I was not careful, OK?\u2019 I was like, \u2018If\u00a0I get pregnant, whoo! I\u2019m having a baby with Leon! We\u2019ll see what happens.\u2019 So, yeah, Noelle was definitely a love child. And we both, you know\u2026 Noelle is his one and only. She\u2019s my one and only.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a great, great respect for each other as parents,\u201d she continued. \u201cAnd we love our Noelle. So, love and respect. That\u2019s all you can ask for.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cynthia shared more details on her and Leon’s relationship in a 2024 sitdown with\u00a0Black America Web, admitting she was drawn to the Hollywood actor even before they were properly introduced. Although Cynthia didn’t specify when and where she first laid eyes on Leon, she confirmed it was through the small screen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe first time I met him\u2026\u00a0Well, the first time that I saw him on TV, I felt a connection,\u201d she said, referring to Leon’s acting career. \u201cI knew that if I ever met him, we would connect. And I was right because we met and we connected, obviously\u2026. And fun fact: Noelle spelled backwards is Leon.\u201d<\/p>\n
Since her split with Leon, Cynthia has gone through two highly publicized divorces. She and\u00a0\u00a0Peter Thomas\u00a0called it quits in 2016 after seven years of marriage. Cynthia\u00a0went on to marry\u00a0Mike Hill in 2020, about two years before they separated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cynthia told\u00a0The Daily Dish\u00a0she was “at a cordial, respectful place with” her ex-husbands, suggesting she wasn’t nearly as close to them as she was to Leon.<\/p>\n
“Nothing more, nothing less,” she said about the relationships. “You know, I wish them well.”<\/p>\n
The Atlanta mom is now\u00a0in a relationship with LePrince, a Dutch-born recording artist she began dating in 2024. Find out what Noelle\u00a0thinks of her mother\u2019s new boyfriend.<\/p>\n
Quick on the heels of famously sassy, phrase-turning R&B singer and reality TV star Tamar Braxton\u2019s announcement her recently released album, \u201cBluebird of Happiness,\u201d will be her last \u2014 at least for a while \u2014 and news that her husband, music executive husband Vincent Herbert, founder of Streamline Records, was legally ordered to pay Sony more than $3.7 million to settle a lawsuit over a 2013 advance, the couple hoisted their grandly proportioned and glamorously appointed Mediterranean mansion in Calabasas, Calif., up for sale at $15 million.<\/p>\n
The Herbert-Braxtons, married in late 2007 after about five years together, purchased the 13,716-square-foot mansion inside the double-gated Estates at The Oaks enclave in April 2013 for $10.5 million and public records show since then there have been several notices of default filed and subsequently canceled against the two-acre spread that provides a total of seven bedrooms and nine full and two half bathrooms between the main house and poolside guesthouse.<\/p>\n
Wrought iron and glass front doors open to an entry vestibule and foyer with black and white floral-patterned inlaid floor and a floating, wrought iron railed staircase that curves up to the bedrooms on the second floor. The main living and entertaining space makes a great sweep across the rear of the residence with gleaming wide-plank hardwood floors laid in a classy chevron pattern.<\/p>\n
A central gallery with glossy grand piano is flanked to one side by a lounge with semi-circular sofa in front of an ornate fireplace and to the other by a \u201cchampagne bar\u201d modeled after The Dorchester Hotel in London with tufted velvet sofas and a stately wood-paneled ceiling.<\/p>\n
Arched French doors open the vast space to an immense, stone-paved loggia with retractable canvas shade awnings and a bowling alley-length dining table that easily seats at least two-dozen al fresco diners. With elaborately carved cabinetry, granite countertops and a super-sized commercial-style range under a hand-hammered copper hood, the kitchen is open to a spacious informal dining area that, in turn, opens to a family room with fireplace and French doors to the backyard.<\/p>\n
The three-story mansion\u2019s creature comfort also include a home theater, a game room, an office, a wine cellar with tasting room and, unsurprisingly, a recording studio along with an elevator, an camera-equipped security system, a gentlemen\u2019s lounge with authentic barber chair, a mirror-walled gym and a subterranean parking garage that will accommodate over a dozen cars. The mansion makes a U-shaped embrace around a broad and grassy courtyard with swimming pool and spa beyond which a soccer pitch-sized lawn gives way to a panoramic view over rugged ravines and undeveloped mountaintops.<\/p>\n
Some of the other, equally sized and similarly luxurious estates in The Estates sections of The Oaks are owned by reality television\u2019s Kourtney and Khlo\u00e9 Kardashian, Michael Jackson\u2019s mother Katherine Jackson, Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and Jay McGraw, elder son of extraordinarily well-compensated TV therapist Dr. Phil McGraw, and his Playboy model wife Erica Dahm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
