Mia Thornton seemingly has big plans for 2024.
The Real Housewives of Potomac star on Sunday went Instagram Official with her new boyfriend, sharing a photo to her social media page that was snapped as the two posed in a loving embrace. And in her caption, she hinted that a wedding might be in their future, writing "4.4.4." (for April 4, 2024).
"Let's Go!" she said, adding "2024" in caption.

While Mia did not name her mystery man, her RHOP costars were quick to praise the pair. "The hardest soft launch 🔥🔥," wrote Ashley Darby, while Gizelle Bryant gushed, "Okkkkkkkk! 2024 coming in hottttt!"
In the picture, Mia wore a sparkling diamond on that finger — the same one that she was seen wearing at BravoCon 2023 in November. The ring is not an engagement ring, Mia told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live in December, but is a symbol to show "I am committed."
Of course, before Mia walks down the aisle, she'll have to finalize her divorce from her husband of 11 years, Gordon Thornton. She announced their separation back in September, and said on WWHL that the split — which happened in June — was “mutual.”
Their financial troubles, however, "had a lot to do with it." She shared to Cohen the money problems over the past couple of years "put a strain on the marriage."
At the RHOP season 7 reunion last February, Mia revealed that she and Gordon were "literally living off our savings" after Gordon's brothers allegedly pushed him out of their business, The Join Chiropractic. This season, Bravo cameras have followed as the two as they've moved into a smaller rental house and began couple's therapy to address their disagreements.
"The relationship between Gordon and I has definitely changed," Mia said in an episode earlier this season. "Ever since Gordon was voted out of the family business, he's been working a lot more because we were expanding our portfolio with other partnership groups, so it is causing a lot of tension inside of our marriage. And, to me, spending time with the kids and having balance is so much better than us always working and then we look up and our kids are grown."
"Gordon had gotten to a point where he wasn't listening to me, and I want Gordon to retire," she added in an interview confessional. "Like, you said yourself, you don't want to miss out on a second chance at being a great father, and you're a phenomenal father. Do that."
But as Gordon explained to their therapist, he had set the goal of providing Mia and their children with lifestyle that was cut short when the business fell through. "I set goals, and then I don't let anything get in the way," he said. "I go get it. I wanted to get to a certain economic level, so that [Mia] and the kids would be set no matter what happened to me. I was almost there, so I was really pushing hard to get those last few nuggets."
Though Gordon appeared to be open to change on camera, Mia confessed to Cohen that attending therapy in season 8 only "made it worse."
One thing that is going well is how the two hare handling co-parenting. The two share son Jeremiah Carter, 8, and daughter Juliana, 6, and both have one child each from previous relationships.
"The kids are great,” Mia said on WWHL, stressing that they are “co-parenting very well.” She said, "We are communicating well, contrary to public belief."
The Real Housewives of Potomac airs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
