						<p><strong><strong>Cynthia Bailey</strong></strong> has time for the haters. Three months after <strong>marrying <strong>Mike Hill</strong></strong>, the <strong><em>Real Housewives of Atlanta</em></strong> star took a moment to defend the couple’s decision to move forward with their wedding amid the COVID-19 pandemic.</p>


<p>“We did everything on our end to ensure everyone’s safety, from masks to shields [to] temperature checks,” Bailey, 53, said on <em>Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen</em> on Sunday, January 10, noting that she and the sportscaster, 50, even “had a COVID-19 specialist come and spray the place” where they tied the knot.</p>

<p>“The only time people were allowed to take their mask off was to eat or drink. It’s a wedding, so that happened,” Bailey assured fans of the protocols she and Hill put in place. “And then a lot of people actually wanted to take pictures with their mask off. Because, you know, when you’re taking pictures, like, ‘Oh, can I take the mask off?’ So I wasn’t even thinking. ‘Of course.’ Oh, now all the pictures are gonna have the mask off.’”</p>


<p>When Cohen, 52, asked the Alabama native whether any of her guests got sick after attending her nuptials, she insisted that “no one tested positive [for COVID-19] as a result of being” there.</p>
<p>Bailey and Hill met in April 2018 and made their relationship Instagram official that August. They <strong>got engaged</strong> in July 2019 at the opening of her Atlanta-based business, The Bailey Wine Cellar.</p>

		<p>The Bravo personality exclusively told <em>Us Weekly</em> in April 2020 that her marriage to the Fox Sports correspondent has “been <strong>tested” in quarantine</strong> amid the pandemic.</p>
<p>“I’m a space person. He’s a space person,” she explained. “We kind of know each other’s energy, and I can tell when he needs a minute. He can tell when I need a minute.”</p>


<p>That said, being locked down at home ultimately helped bring the couple “closer together,” Bailey told <em>Us</em>.</p>

She shares <strong>21-year-old daughter Noelle</strong> with ex-boyfriend <strong>Leon Robinson</strong>. Hill, for his part, has two daughters, 21-year-old Ashleé and 19-year-old Kayla, from past marriages.</p>
