Mia Thornton's love life will be on display in Season 9 of The Real Housewives of Potomac. RHOP Season 8 found the mom of three separating from her husband, Gordon Thornton, and sharing she was in a relationship with Inc, or Incognito, during the Season 8 reunion.
Per her cast bio for the upcoming Season 9, Mia's life is complicated, to say the least: "She's in the process of getting a divorce from Gordon, while her relationship with her new man, radio personality Inc, is hotter than ever. If that wasn't enough, the ladies are questioning some of her actions, making it hard for her to know who to trust in the group.
In case viewers needed a refresher about Mia's boyfriend Inc ahead of the new season, we've rounded up everything you need to know about the man in her life.
What does Inc do for a living?
Inc, or Incognito, is a radio personality living in Atlanta, Georgia and the current co-host of Hot 107.9's radio show, Posted on the Corner, with DJ Misses. The radio show is syndicated to over 20 markets, broadcasted in major cities across the east coast and Texas.
Inc interviews celebrities in his day to day life, but he is a bit of a celebrity in his own right. His Instagram account, @datboyinc has over 106,000 Instagram followers.
How did Mia Thornton meet her boyfriend, Inc?
Mia and Inc met while in high school in Columbus, Georgia. The radio personality appeared on the podcast, Reality with the King, in February, where he revealed that they first met at the mall while they were working their high school jobs. But Mia made him work for her number — she wouldn't let him write it down on a piece of paper, so he had to memorize it in order to call her.
After dating in high school (and attending prom together) the couple then moved to Charlotte, North Carolina. But after a year of living together and three-and-a-half years of dating, Inc moved back to Georgia for his career, which ended his relationship with Mia. Meanwhile, Mia continued to stay in Charlotte, where she met Gordon.
Mia and Inc had kept in touch over the years as friends, following one another on social media after Mia. Inc shared on the podcast that he always saw Mia as the "one that got away." But after her separation, "the stars aligned" and she reunited with Inc after commenting on one of his Instagram posts.
Inc says he's "in love" with Mia Thornton
Inc is open about his love for Mia, who he has been in a relationship with since the fall of 2023. However, the couple officially launched their relationship on Instagram in New Years Eve 2023. "This is my forever, this is my happily ever after," he told Carlos.
During the podcast, Inc revealed that Mia is "very much the same" as when he met her way back when. "She's family-oriented, hustle-driven, Mia worked like a fool," he explained.
Inc has also spent time with Gordon since Mia's separation. "We operate in love, we operate in what's best for the littles in her life, and I think it's good for them to see their father in a good light," he explained.
Mia Thornton talks about her divorce from Gordon Thornton and relationship with Inc
During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen in March, Mia opened up about her divorce and her current relationship. Mia noted that she is "still legally married to Gordon" but insisted that her marriage was over before her relationship with Inc began. "Even if Inc wasn't in the picture, Gordon and I were definitely still on the road to separation," she explained.
Mia revealed during the RHOP Season 8 reunion that she and Gordon are living apart. "I have a penthouse apartment in Washington, DC," she said. "Even though it's the smallest space I've been in in the past several years, I'm in the happiest place."
Mia made a note on WWHL that co-parenting her children with Gordon is "going great." "He's a great father and Gordon is a great guy."
