Cynthia Bailey is spilling the tea about an encounter with Lenny Kravitz.
The Real of Housewives of Atlanta alum, 57, said she met the legendary rock star in July 2023 at Mick Jagger’s 80th birthday party in London, but after giving Kravitz, 60, her phone number, she never heard back.
“He was really nice,” Bailey told fellow Housewives stars Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge during a live recording of their “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast Friday, November 1, in Burbank, California, per People.
Bailey noted that Kravitz “didn’t seem overly interested or anything” but later asked Jagger’s fiancée, Melanie Hamrick, 37, for Bailey’s number.

Mellencamp asked the model, “But did he ask for anybody else’s number?”
That prompted Bailey to joke, “That I don’t know. Apparently so. He didn’t use my damn number.”
Bailey told Mellencamp, 43, and Judge, 57, that she tried to play it “really cool” around the singer given that she had “talked about him [for] the last five years.”
The RHOA star also admitted, “I didn’t really feel any sparks.”
Us Weekly has contacted Kravitz’s representative for comment.
Bailey’s love life was well-documented on the Bravo reality show, on which she was a full-time Housewife from season 3 to season 13. Her romance with Peter Thomas, to whom she was married from 2010 to 2017, was featured on RHOA, including their wedding and eventual split.
The show also captured her relationship and marriage to her second husband, Mike Hill. The couple wed in 2020 and divorced in 2022, a year after Bailey left the show.
Bailey returned to RHOA as a guest during season 15 and will appear as a “friend” during the upcoming season 16 alongside Phaedra Parks, Brittany Eady, Porsha Williams, Drew Sidora, Shamea Morton Mwangi, Kelli Ferrell and Angela Oakley.
Speaking exclusively to Us Weekly in June, Bailey teased the dynamic between the new cast.
“We’re on week No. 3 and already, these girls are jumping right in getting their hands dirty,” Bailey told Us. “I think you guys are in for a treat. I think three of them bring just the right amount of new blood that we needed for season sweet 16.”
She continued, “So, it’s gonna be sweet and maybe bittersweet, but I think you guys will be entertained.”
Bailey’s friend Kenya Moore was initially part of the season 16 cast but was suspended in June after she allegedly shared explicit photos of new castmate Eady. A source later told Us that Kenya will not appear on the new season, due to air sometime in 2025.
“I am always here for Kenya. I am always here for her,” Bailey told Extra in an interview published in August. “Of course, I am so saddened and heartbroken that she had an early departure from the season. No one ever saw that coming.”
