'Real Housewives of Atlanta' superstar Cynthia Bailey is referred to as a runaway bride, most effective marrying once. But who sought after to make it to the altar, however didn't?

The Real Housewives of Atlanta celebrity Cynthia Bailey has a popularity as a runaway bride. She's made it very transparent on the display that she's no longer one to marry quickly — do you know she turned down two different proposals before marrying Peter Thomas?

While Cynthia's list of ex-husbands is brief (trace: Peter's the one one to make that listing), her listing of ex-fiancés is longer. Here are all the males whom the RHOA personality let escape.

Ex-boyfriend Russell Simmons proposed to her. 

One of the first men that Cynthia rejected was once entrepreneur and file govt Russell Simmons. The two dated in the '90s before he proposed and then in the end split when she became him down.

She most likely dodged a bullet there, though, as Russell has not too long ago faced a series of sexual misconduct allegations, which Oprah is it sounds as if investigating.

Russell has informed The New York Times that he denies all the sexual assault allegations, claiming that each one of his sexual encounters were consensual.

"I vehemently deny all these allegations,” he said to The New York Times. “These horrific accusations have shocked me to my core and all of my relations have been consensual.”

Jayson Williams proposed to her during halftime.

In a stunt that was probably more embarrassing for him than it was for her, Cynthia's ex-boyfriend Jayson Williams decided to propose to her during halftime at a Brooklyn Nets game back in 1996. During the time of their relationship, Jason had just been rewarded his first full-time starting position with the New Jersey Nets.

Again, Cynthia likely dodged another bullet with this one, as Jayson was on trial for his involvement in the shooting and accidental death of limousine driver Costas "Gus" Christofi in 2002. In 2010, he pled guilty to aggravated assault and was sentenced to five years in prison for the charge.

She had a daughter with Leon.

Cynthia later entered a very serious romantic relationship with actor Leon Robinson (who frequently is credited as just "Leon"). The two were engaged, and Cynthia had her daughter, Noelle, while she was with Leon.

Unfortunately, the two decided to call it quits before they married, and they eventually separated.

So how many ex-husbands does Cynthia Bailey have? Just one.

We got to see Cynthia's first marriage, to Peter Thomas, play out during her time on Real Housewives of Atlanta. We saw the couple wed in 2010 (much to the disappointment of Cynthia's mom and sister), only for them to call it quits seven years later. 

He is a restaurant and nightclub owner and he currently owns a bar in South Carolina. In March 2019, Peter was arrested for allegedly writing fraud checks.

She married sports commentator Mike Hill on Oct. 10, 2020.

While Cynthia evaded getting married for so long, she tied the knot again in October of 2020. She began dating sports commentator Mike Hill in 2018, and the two got engaged during Season 11 of the show.

Their road to the altar wasn't completely seamless, however. Instead of dealing with relationship drama, Mike and Cynthia (their couple name is "Chill") had to make many last-minute changes to their big day because of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The big day wasn't filmed for the show, though the days and weeks leading up to it were. Some things did have to change, but Cynthia exclusively told Distractify that she is happy she went forward with the nuptials when she did. 

"What 2020 taught us more than the rest is that it's important to reside your life, and you can't take the rest for granted," she said. "You should be humble, it's a must to reside and to try to feel free. For me, my marriage ceremony represented that, and hope and inspiration."

Even with the safety precautions and the uncertainty from the pandemic, the wedding was "best possible" for Cynthia and Mike. 

"Although it did not look like 10/10/20 used to be the perfect day because of the pandemic, it roughly was once in a lot of the way for us," she continued. "I'm incredibly grateful for everything."

Cynthia's ability to share it all in front of the cameras is why she's had such longevity on the show — and why she doesn't regret letting viewers into her first marriage and divorce. 

"I give you me: the nice, the dangerous, the ups, the downs, the peaks, and the valleys," she explained. "I provide the hustle, the entrepreneurship, what it is like to be a mother, to go via a divorce, to find love again, and to get married. I'm going to provide you with all of that and I'm clear. I personal it all."

That's why the fashion is in her tenth season of the show.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta airs on Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
