Real Housewives star Mia Thornton reportedly received permission from her 71-year-old ex-husband, Gordon Thornton, to engage in relationships with younger men as he believed he would not be able to meet her needs in the future. Gordon claims he told Mia that he was okay with her seeking satisfaction outside their marriage, but he set two rules: for her not to give him a reason to look for it and to keep their children out of it. Despite his consent, their marriage ended in September 2023, leading Gordon to express frustration about Mia’s behavior and the reasons for their separation.
They were together for 11 years and have two children, Jeremiah and Juliana, and Mia also has a son, Joshua, from a previous relationship. According to Gordon, Mia is leaving him because she sees an opportunity for financial gain in a new relationship. Gordon also confessed that he believes Mia married him for his money and the lifestyle she anticipated he could provide. On the other hand, Mia stated in September that their family remains her top priority and asked for privacy and time as they navigate their situation.
