Another 'Real Housewives' Star Joins The Divorce Ranks

"Real Housewives of Atlanta" star, Brit Eady, is the latest to call it quits on her marriage of five years.

The Bravo star has finally made the divorce from her estranged spouse, Michael Cunningham, official by filing in a Georgia court.

Brit Eady had a very tumultuous last year on the "Real Housewives of Atlanta," where she dragged Bravo to court in an eight-figure lawsuit, accusing the company of causing her emotional distress and creating a hostile working environment.

The reality star reportedly noted on Wednesday that despite their decision to part ways, she still has love for her estranged husband and wants to remain friends. The duo tied the knot five years ago and officially separated on December 1, according to details in Eady's filing.

The TV personality had established in the legal document that all hope to salvage the union was lost, and she would very much like not to pay Cunningham alimony or spousal support.

She expressed that she and Cunningham jointly agreed to sell their property in Fulton County, which is their only home together. They will then divide the proceeds from the sale based on a convenient formula agreed between them.

As reported by The Daily Mail, Eady added that her vehicle remains hers while her estranged husband gets to keep his own. The duo did not share any kids throughout the duration of the marriage.

As 2025 came to a close, Eady updated her fans on a crucial life decision in a very touching post, which she later deleted. She expressed that her reason for making the post was to stop giving anyone the impression that all was well in the union.

"Everybody can't come into the next chapter. I'm done hurting and I want to be happy in my next chapter. Cheers to 2026 of putting my happiness first," the media personality wrote.

She emphasized that her post was to set the narrative straight despite the fact that they currently cannot tolerate each other. Eady continued that in the spirit of knowing what is best for her, she decided to walk away in the face of blatant disrespect.

"But that's exactly why disrespect hits so deep ... because I know how much grace l give before I ever lose it. When I snap, it's never random, it's a reaction. What you put in is what you get out of me," she continued.

Eady concluded her post by acknowledging that the marriage truly served as a learning experience for her while it lasted. The insurance expert urged everyone to guard their peace and stay away from people or situations that bring out the worst in them.

Well, a few men and women of the "Real Housewives" franchise now have more than one thing with Eady, an occurrence a few affected parties have tagged the curse of appearing on reality TV.

As shared by US Magazine, Kyle Richards and her husband, Mauricio Umansky, became exes after the reality star separated in 2023, bringing an end to their nearly three-decade marriage.

Last year, Kandi Burruss announced in November that she and Todd Tucker, who have shared a life for 11 years, had decided to go their separate ways.

Earlier in the year, Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers also ended their marriage after six years together, and they are currently stuck in a very contentious divorce process, which was initiated by Phypers over irreconcilable differences.

Teddi Mellencamp and Edwin Arroyave severed their marital ties after 13 years together and three kids between them as 2024 wrapped up. Months before then, news sources confirmed that Alexia and Todd Nepola were breaking up after three years of marriage.

"RHOA" star Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann also ended their 12-year-old union in 2021, following claims that their messy financial predicament caused a strain on their marriage.

Other "Real Housewives" divorces include: Eva Marcille and Michael Sterling, Teresa and Joe Guidice, Moore and Marc Daly, Drew Sidora and Ralph Pittman, Cynthia Bailey and Mike Hill, alongside several others.

The Blast noted that the 37-year-old hopped on her Instagram Story to confirm her absence at the taping for the show's 16th season reunion.

Despite being one of the most talked about on the show's 16th season due to the drama between her, Kenya Moore, and Bravo, Eady expressed that the events left her in a very bad place.

"I do want to set the record straight about one thing: the graphic sexual photo surrounding the events in Episode 5. That photo was not me," the reality star wrote in her statement.

She referred fans back to the scenes in the past episode and how she only heard about the photo being presented at the event, prompting an assumption that it was her, even though she had not seen it. The star clarified in the final paragraph of her statement:

"I do not know who was in that photo, but upon seeing it for the first time recently, I now know it was not me. I look forward to seeking accountability and moving past this dark part of my life."

The insurance expert had a bone to pick with the network and its parent companies for failing to protect her reputation and mental health while she went through the public drama with Moore. As stated by The Blast, she accused Bravo of playing along as her image was being portrayed in a defamatory manner.

Eady noted in her lawsuit that Bravo further created a toxic work environment for her and opened her up to sexual harassment by mandating her to return to work after the "gendered attack" she experienced.

She also named NBCUniversal, and the production companies Truly Original and Endemol Shine North America, alongside Bravo, in the filing, claiming that they all violated her rights by defaming her and causing her emotional distress.

Eady proceeded to demand $20 million in damages and asked that the episode be removed from public access, as she is not the person featured in the sexually suggestive posters.

Will Brit Eady and Michael Cunningham's divorce process be seamless or a drama-filled experience for the "Real Housewives" fans?
