'RHOA' Star Cynthia Bailey Thought She Met Tom Brady ... But She Most Definitely Did Not

"Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Cynthia Bailey was super excited to meet Tom Brady — and even asked for a photo with him — but there was just one problem ... it was not Tom Brady.

Bailey shared the hilarious tale of how she met "Tom Brady" and eventually learned that she had not.

"Confession. I ran into this guy last night in the lobby of the St. Regis. I asked for a picture because I thought he was @tombrady. I really did," she explained. "I did interviews on the carpets last night saying how cool it was to bump into Tom Brady."

She then shared the text message conversation she had with her boyfriend, sportscaster Mike Hill, which detailed just how he broke the news to her.

Hill found it hysterical that she approached him for the photo and was relieved that she hadn't posted the pic online saying it was Tom Brady.

"I'm gonna need you," he texted, "as your SPORTS-CASTER boyfriend ... NOT to not know who Tom Brady is."

Bailey tried to save face at the end, writing on her Instagram, "Looking back now at the picture, ok maybe he is not Tom’s long lost twin. But he could be his cousin right or nah? What y’all think?"

No, Cynthia. Not at all.
