Both Peter and Cynthia will be back for season 9 (filming now) to air more of their dirty laundry and invite the other housewives into the mix. Cynthia is still close with NeNe Leakes and Kenya Moore.

Cynthia also shares that she’s currently very single. “I’m trying to get out of a relationship, not into one,” she jokes. “I want to take some time for myself.”
