Cynthia Bailey 'Really Hopes' Lenny Kravitz Didn't Hear Her Viral Story That He Once Got Her Number But Never Called

Cynthia Bailey is hoping Lenny Kravitz is still in the dark when it comes to the viral story about their missed connection.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta star, 57, previously revealed that the Grammy winner, 60, did not call her after obtaining her phone number.

Bailey noted that she “didn't really feel any sparks” with the musician but he still asked for her number at Mick Jagger’s star-studded 80th birthday party last July in London.

"He asked Mick's fiancée for my number," Bailey recalled during the live taping of Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge’s Two Ts in a Pod podcast earlier this month. However, she revealed the rocker never followed up, adding, "He didn't use my damn number."

Bailey, 57, told PEOPLE at the 1st Annual Gurus Awards at SLS Hotel in Los Angeles on Nov. 10 that she hopes Kravitz, 60, never found out about her public confession.

When asked if heard about her viral story, she responded, “I hope not. I never expected it to go viral, basically. And I really hope that Lenny Kravitz did not somehow hear about it or see it.” 

The reality star went on to praise the “Fly Away” singer as “a lovely man.”

“I met him with Mick Jagger at Mick's 80th in London,” she continued. “He introduced him to all of his friends.” 

She added that Kravitz has “always been a celebrity crush, but you never really meet your celebrity crushes. So I was excited to meet him.” 

“And then numbers were exchanged, but no calls were made,” she continued. “And that's okay because that's a humble brag, you know what I'm saying?”

She added that the "humble" part was that “he had the number but [he] didn't call.”

Last September, Bailey told PEOPLE that she met someone she was interested in romantically, but planned to take things slow following her split from Fox Sports correspondent Mike Hill after two years of marriage.

"It's coming along all right, it's coming along,” she said of her dating life at the time. “There's someone that I really like dating a lot, but we're taking it slow. I'm still open to dating other people.”

Bailey filed for divorce from Hill in October 2022. She shared a statement with PEOPLE at the time that read, “God does not make mistakes! I truly believe in my heart Mike coming into my life was destiny. I jumped in, both feet first and gave it my all."

"Although that journey has come to an end," she added. "I am so grateful for our continued friendship, and the beautiful memories that we made together. God willing, I will find love again. Whatever is destined to be, will be; and I could not be more excited for my next chapter!"
