“The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s” Cynthia Bailey drops a bomb just days before season 8 of the hit reality series is set to premiere. During a snippet from episode one, set to air Sunday, Nov. 4, the model is asked point blank if she is attracted to her husband, Peter Thomas. “Are you attracted to Peter, even with his clothes off?” Bailey’s sister Malorie asks the 47-year-old reality TV star.
“No,” Bailey responds. But, are we all that surprised? As you may recall, Thomas was caught redhanded this summer feeling and fondling a young woman in an Atlanta club. And while the couple has since put up a united front, rumor has it that they’re having marital issues.
Unfortunately, according Moshe Ratson, a licensed marriage and family therapist for 15 years, this is a scenario that is all too familiar for many married couples. “The reason that many couples first get together is based on physical attraction . . . However, as time passes, one may gain weight, so that is one reason the attraction fades,” Ratson told the New York Post.
So does this mean it’s the end of the road for the reality couple? We think not. Just because a couple is no longer attracted to each other, doesn’t mean they’ll part ways. “Physical attraction is important, but I am more attracted to Peter’s mind,” Bailey continued. But then again, this is “RHOA” and another split would make for a killer headline.
