Cynthia Bailey is very close to her daughter Noelle Robinson — and to Noelle’s father, Leon Robinson. Though The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum and Leon split when Noelle was very young, the pair have maintained a close friendship as they co-parent their daughter.
“The child comes first. We have a child together and that is something that will never change, and no matter how many women I may have had in my life, only one of them has given me a child. So, for me, she has the highest respect of anyone,” Leon has said of his relationship with Cynthia, whom he dated in the late 1990s and early 2000s when he was working as an actor and she as a model.
“We are a family through this child. We are always supposed to do what is best for one another and respect one another, but most of all, do what is best for the child, and the child needs to see two loving parents. Even if we are not together as a couple, we can still love and respect one another,” he said. “That is what our daughter [Noelle] needs to see in order to grow up.”
In fact, Cynthia and Leon have such a good relationship, that fans have wondered whether the two will ever get back together — a scenario Cynthia firmly shut down in 2017.
Take a trip down memory lane with photos from the last 20+ years of the family’s life.
