Cynthia Bailey, the beloved star of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, opened up about her health journey during an event on March 18, 2025, celebrating the Bella Insider Women of Influence cover issue at the Godfrey Hotel in Hollywood. At 58 years old, Bailey has embraced the WeightWatchers program in an effort to reach her weight-loss goals.
Bailey shared her enthusiasm about the program, stating, "It's going good! I'm loving the WeightWatchers program... it's not going as fast as I would like to. I think we're used to seeing this instant skinny thing now... it's how you finish." Her focus is not solely on numbers but on developing a healthier relationship with food. Currently, she has lost 20 pounds and aims to shed a total of 50 pounds. Reflecting on her journey, she noted, "I just want to get back to a weight that's healthy for me and get back into at least some of my size 10s at this point!"
Having started her health journey two-and-a-half months prior, Bailey acknowledged that progress is a gradual process. She revealed, "I'm down one size since starting my weight-loss program. It's moving kind of slow, but I feel good. I'm not discouraged." Despite an initial goal that seemed ambitious, she maintained a positive outlook, saying, "I've only been doing it for two-and-a-half months. In my mind, I thought it would be easy to lose 50 pounds in three months, but it's a lot!" Bailey emphasized the importance of patience, deciding to give herself another three months to complete her goal.
In addition to her health transformation, Bailey is also navigating the complexities of her love life. Recently, she revealed that since going public with her relationship with Amsterdam-based musician LePrince, her life has been a "mess." Speaking with TMZ, she explained, "Now the two can’t go anywhere in public together without catching eyes." The change in her romantic status has brought her both challenges and a sense of relief, as she no longer needs to avoid scrutiny about her relationship.
Bailey, who filed for divorce from her ex-husband Mike Hill in 2022, conveyed her appreciation for the newfound freedom to share her love life openly. "I embrace the situation and appreciate the newfound freedom to openly share my love life," she expressed. This candidness reflects both her personal growth and her pursuit of happiness in the public eye.
As Bailey's fans eagerly await her return to television in season 16 of RHOA as an official Friend of the Show, she aims to set a positive example by openly discussing her health and personal journey. Her commitment to both her weight-loss goals and her new relationship showcases her resilience and optimistic outlook. Whether it's the excitement of embracing a healthier lifestyle or the challenges of a public relationship, Cynthia Bailey continues to inspire with her journey.
In a world that often pressures individuals to conform to unrealistic standards, Bailey's approach underscores the importance of self-acceptance and gradual progress. As viewers tune into this season of RHOA, they will witness not just the glamour and drama, but also the authentic struggles and triumphs of a woman determined to redefine her narrative.
With each passing day, Bailey is not just losing weight but also gaining a deeper understanding of herself. Whether she's celebrating victories on the scale or navigating the complexities of romance, her story resonates with many who are seeking balance and fulfillment in their own lives.
