*Cynthia Bailey and Mike Hill, if you haven’t heard, are officially set to become Mr. and Mrs.
Bailey, who stars on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” and Hill, a Los Angeles based Fox Sports journalist, have been an item for the last year and change. Now, according to People, they are engaged.
The publication says Hill, 48, proposed to Bailey, 52, on Friday with a g 5-carat princess cut solitaire ring in Atlanta at the grand opening of her new business, The Bailey WineCeller.
The proposal apparently surprised everyone in attendance including Bailey’s “RHOA” castmates, her daughter Noelle Robinson, 19, and Hill’s two daughters — Kayla, 17, and Ashlee, 19.

So how did Hill pull it off? Well, he had a little help from celebrity event planner, Courtney Ajinça.
The two threw Bailey off the track by making it appear that Hill was giving a toast in honor of Bailey’s opening.
According to a source on the scene, during Hill’s speech, Kayla interrupted to hand him a bottle with a big question mark on it — telling him, “No dad, I think you should propose like this.”
Then, he told Noelle that he needed her help to open the bottle and she passed him the ring box, helping him open that before he dropped to one knee and professed his love.
It all turned Bailey into a ball of emotions. Though she was confused at first, Bailey broke down in tears when she saw Hill get down on one knee and ask her the big question. She quickly said yes.
The crowd quickly erupted in applause, the source tells PEOPLE, chanting “Congratulations Chill!” — the nickname Bailey and Hill have adopted on social media.
If you’re wondering, this will be the second walk down the aisle for both Bailey and Hill.
The “RHOA” star was previously married to Peter Thomas from 2010 in 2017.
