Mia Thornton Reveals Her and Inc's Plan to Have Kids: "Pray for Me" (EXCLUSIVE)
RHOP's Mia Thornton also shared an update on her co-parenting relationship with Gordon Thornton.
Mia Thornton shares three children with her estranged husband Gordon Thornton, but it turns out that she and her current boyfriend, Incognito aka "Inc," are interested in welcoming kids of their own.
The Real Housewives of Potomac cast member made the revelation during an exclusive interview with The Daily Dish in November. "Inc does want more children," Mia said. "We’re gonna take our time, and I’m not opposed to having a surrogate, but he wants me to carry. And he wants to have two more, so pray for me."
That said, Mia and Inc aren't necessarily in a rush to grow their family. "We’re taking our time, and when the time comes we will make that decision. But I’m definitely exploring options, like freezing my eggs and things like that," Mia explained. "Because you know my biological clock is ticking. It might have tocked."
The 40-year-old businesswoman added, "I wanted to just make sure that we’re doing things the proper way.... We want to enjoy each other, and then we can add more children to our roster."
As fans may recall, Mia went public about her romance with Atlanta-based radio personality Inc a few months after publicly announcing her separation from Gordon. The pair first dated when they were in high school, and they reconciled in 2023.
Mia Thornton shares a co-parenting update with Gordon Thornton
Mia and Gordon are going through some highs and lows in their co-parenting relationship on RHOP Season 9, but have things improved since filming wrapped?
"You know, co-parenting is co-parenting," she joked to The Daily Dish before laughing. "It has its ups, it has its downs, but I am fortunate that I do have someone to co-parent with. Gordon is a great father, and he is present."
"He's in my building, so he’s very much so in the kids' day to day [lives]," Mia continued, referencing the fact that she and her ex-husband live in the same apartment building. "And, as far as like Inc is concerned, he’s definitely in the mix when it comes to just navigating the day to day. But I would say that a lot of the responsibility of parenting does fall back on me and Gordon. Right, 'cause we’re their parents. But [Inc's] there."
Though things were sometimes tense between Mia and Gordon as the latter parent navigated his battle with Bipolar 1, Mia said that the situation has gotten better.
"It’s been going well," she continued about co-parenting Joshua, Jeremiah, and Juliana with him today. "Like Gordon definitely has gotten with the program, I would say. He wants to be a part of the kids' lives and this is his last set of kids. He has a first set and then now he has this last set. And he doesn’t want to miss a beat when it comes to them. I think sometimes when you realize that when you put your own personal wants and needs aside, you really just focus on the children. And it took him a while to get there, but I think that he’s arrived."
