*Model and actor Leon is quarantined in New York while his daughter, Noelle Robinson, is anchored in Los Angeles with her mother, “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Cynthia Bailey, along with Bailey’s fiancé, Mike Hill and Noelle’s girlfriend, Alexis Powell.
The 20-year-old has been living in Los Angeles with Hill since last year, while she pursues an acting career, and Bailey travels between the West Coast and Atlanta. As noted by MadameNoire, the living situation was a controversial one to Bailey fans, but Leon is just fine with it.
“I thought her move to California was a move she wanted to make. I thought it was great that she had the convenience of Mike’s place to be able to stay there, especially on a temporary basis until she figured things out and could see what California is about and see if she wanted to be there,” he said. “I thought it was fantastic because it was going to be a place where her mother was going to be all of the time.”

The actor also explained to the outlet that his daughter is an adult now, so there is nothing odd about her living with her mother’s man.
“It’s a different situation. If Noelle was 12, that would be different,” he said. “Noelle is a young woman now and one of the things that’s most important to me as a dad is to make sure that she grows up to be just that, a good young woman. She is. I have all the trust and faith in her in the world, no matter what situation she’s in because that’s what you have to do as parents. You have to raise your kids and then you have to let them go and hope that whatever you taught them, whatever they learned along the way, they’re going to take with them. I feel confident that that’s what Noelle is going to do, and that’s what she has done.”
“The Five Heartbeats” star is also supportive of Noelle’s decision to come out as sexually fluid.
“She has my support no matter what,” he said. “I’m with her no matter what she wants to do and how she wants to do it and she knows that. She always knows she has the love of her dad. For me, as far as the Real Housewives situation is concerned, I’m a rather private person. No one knew anything about me until I had to make appearances on the show, and that’s because my daughter’s on it. For the most part, I’m like any other dad. I wouldn’t be discussing my daughter’s sexuality with anybody other than my daughter. So the fact that you were privy to a conversation between her and and her mom, which happens to be on reality TV, I can’t imagine making it a part of my reality.”
