Mia Thornton Shares a Look at Her Life After Seemingly Moving to Atlanta: “We LOVE It Here” | Bravo
It appears Mia Thornton has ditched Washington, D.C., in favor of Atlanta.
The Real Housewives of Potomac mom hinted at the move in an April 5 Instagram post featuring her and her three kids, Joshua, Jeremiah, and Juliana. The family was seen smiling from ear to ear in what looked like their new penthouse kitchen.
“… And she created her P E A C E,” Mia wrote in the post. “We LOVE it here.”
The caption concluded with the hashtags “mama bear,” “ATL,” and “penthouse living.”
Mia also posted a Story of her and her youngest son, Jeremiah, dancing to OutKast’s 1996 Atlanta anthem, “ATLiens.”
Mia Thornton addresses claims about her living situation
The update came more than two months after the heated RHOP Season 9 reunion in which Gizelle Bryant accused Mia of living in Atlanta with her ex-boyfriend Incognito, aka Inc.
“Inc lives in Atlanta… Mia lives in Atlanta,” Gizelle said. “She does not live in D.C., Maryland, or Virginia.”
Mia immediately pushed back on the claim, insisting she did live in the DMV area.
“Why would you say that?” she asked Gizelle. “I haven’t moved… I have a condo here.”
“You don’t,” Gizelle fired back. “Fine, if that’s the lie you want to tell today.”
Mia Thornton says RHOA sparked her desire to relocate
Several weeks after the reunion finale, Mia expressed interest in moving to the ATL and becoming closer to The Real Housewives of Atlanta ladies. She made the comments during the March 17 episode of Posted on the Corner hosted by her ex-beau, Inc.
“I saw you put out a tweet… that says, ‘Hey, RHOA season premiere makes me want to move to Atlanta full-time,’” Inc said. “What’s the origin of the tweet?”
“Did you see the premiere?” Mia replied. “Oh my gosh, the girls are comin’ in hot… The way they were showing ATL; the way that the girls were showing up, they looked good. I just felt like the [RHOA cast] liked each other. They looked like they were real friends. I’m like, ‘I want to be part of a real friend crew…’ That’s my kind of crew — the elevation of it all.”
Mia told Inc she’s always “loved” the Atlanta food scene and overall vibes, saying it was much more “artsy” than the Potomac area.
“They’re creatives,” she said about Atlanta residents. “Back home in D.C., it’s real political… Keep me out of those circles. Arts and entertainment? That I can do.”
Mia shares her youngest children — Jeremiah and Juliana — with her estranged husband, Gordon Thornton. Her oldest son, Joshua, is from a previous relationship. Get more details about the ex-couple’s separation, including the moment Mia decided to file for divorce.
On a sad day overall for Braves Country, due to the passing of the legendary Bobby Cox, Spencer Strider gave Atlanta fans something to be happy and hopeful about with a stellar outing, shutting down the Dodgers potent offense for 6.0 innings with 8 strikeouts and 15 whiffs. He looked as good as he has in a long time. His fastball averaged 96.4 MPH, with 17 inches of induced vertical break and he had four pitches working nicely together. Even if Strider doesn’t quite return to his Jacob deGrom levels of dominance, having him as a true #1 or #2 quality starter would make a huge difference for this Braves team to pair with Chris Sale. Bryce Elder has been great this season, but shouldn’t be the second best starter in the rotation of a World Series contender. If Strider can keep something like Saturday night’s version of himself moving forward, that’s a huge development for him and this team.
The highly anticipated NBA Draft is finally going to take place tomorrow and the Atlanta Hawks are 1 of 14 teams hoping the ping pong balls bounce their way.
This is going to be the final payoff for what was arguably the best move that any team made last offseason. Atlanta traded down from the No. 13 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft and acquired the unprotected 2026 first-round pick from the New Orleans Pelicans, the most favorable of the Pelicans’ and Bucks’ selections. The Pelicans finished 7th in the lottery odds, and Milwaukee is 10th. Based on the odds, the Hawks have a 40% chance of jumping into the top four.
The last time the Hawks were in the lottery, they jumped from 10th to 1st and selected Zaccharie Risacher. While that was a huge stroke of luck, it has not always worked out that way for the Hawks.
Hawks lottery history
The Hawks have been in the NBA Lottery 16 times since 1985 and in that time span, the Hawks have:
- Moved up five times (2024-moved from 10th to 1st, 2018-moved from 4th to 3rd, 2007- moved from 4th to 3rd, 2001- moved from 5th to 3rd, and 1985- moved from 7th to 5th)
- Moved down five times (2020- moved from 4th to 6th, 2019- moved from 5th to 8th, 2006- moved from 4th to 5th, 2005- moved from 1st to 2nd, and 2000- moved from 5th to 6th)
- Stayed where they were projected to six times
Their biggest move up by far came in 2024 when the moved up to No. 1 and were able to select Risacher, which has not quite panned out.
There is an element of what if to each of these scenarios, especially the years the Hawks moved down. In 2020, they moved down in a draft that contained Anthony Edwards, who is from the state of Georgia and one of the elite players that the league has right now. Atlanta ended up selecting Onyeka Okongwu, but there is a big what if about being able to pair Edwards with Trae Young.
In 2019, the Hawks were 5th in the highly anticipated 2019 lottery that featured Zion Williamson, but they fell three spots. While WIlliamson has not had quite the career most had hoped, he is still an All-NBA caliber player and would have paired nicely with Young as a tandem.
There have been some hits and misses during the 16 times that the Hawks have been in the lottery, but there have seemingly been more missed opportunities, even when they jump up in the standings. They are hoping that they get another stroke of luck tomorrow in what could be a franchise altering day for the Hawks.
Final projected odds for the Hawks:
No. 1- 9.8% chance
No. 2- 9.9% chance
No. 3- 10.1% chance
No. 4- 10.30% chance
No. 7- 19.75% chance
No. 8- 30.18% chance
No. 9- 9.19% chance
No. 10- 0.67% chance
No. 11-
