When asked whether her giant rock was a “commitment ring,” Mia nodded her head, saying, “Yes. I’m not available. So don’t come in my DMs.”
The Bravo star mentioned that although her 70-year-old estranged husband was initially unhappy about her moving on, she clarified that life becomes easier with each passing day since revealing their divorce. Mia also revealed that Gordon is currently dating and emphasized that they are currently prioritizing their children and working towards being good co-parents.
On September 29, the reality star made an announcement that she and Gordon have ended their 11-year marriage. Mia stated to People, "Like any marriage, ours had its highs and lows. Currently, Gordon and I are separated, but my family is my top priority and I am dedicated to doing whatever it takes to ensure we are alright."
After initially meeting in 2003, the couple got married in March 2012. They later became parents to two children: son Jeremiah Carter, 8, and daughter Juliana, 6. Mia and Gordon also have one child each from previous relationships.
Just before their announcement of separation, the trailer for season 8 of RHOP was released, giving a glimpse into the troubles in the relationship between Mia and Gordon. In the clip released on September 28, Mia disclosed that she had consulted a divorce attorney in the past during a challenging phase in their marriage, hinting at the possibility of a divorce.
However, on Saturday, Mia asserted that she and Gordon were in agreement as they continue to adapt to their new circumstances.
"The well-being of the children is our top priority. We are in good terms and things will work out for us," she informed Us at the Las Vegas convention. "It's crucial for everyone to witness our ability to co-parent effectively, and I believe it will be a positive experience."
Fans won't have to wait much longer to delve into Mia and Gordon's relationship issues, as RHOP season 8 will debut on Bravo Sunday, November 5, at 8 p.m. ET.
