“Inc” may be permanent, but his time onThe Real Housewives of Potomacsure isn’t.

On Sunday, Jan. 26,Mia Thorntonappeared onWatch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,where she opened up about the reason behind her recent split from her ex-boyfriendIncognito.

According to Thornton, the two went their separate ways because of the attention he received from being on the Bravo series.

“Inc has worked really, really hard for his reputation and his career, he’s 20 years in as a syndication radio personality,” said Mia, 40. “And he feels as though this platform doesn’t align with his brand.”

“I respect that and he will forever be my best friend. Are we exclusive and are we dating? No,” she added. “It’s fine.”

Mia’s relationship with Incognito has been a hot topic over the past year, especially onRHOP.

The two former high school sweethearts rekindled their romance amid Mia’s split from Gordon. But they also “overlapped” earlier in Mia’s romance with Gordon, so much so that Mia questioned whether Gordon was their son Jeremiah’s biological father.

“I honestly do not trust Gordon’s test,” Mia said onWWHLof the exam, which she said she wasn’t a part of. “That’s why I feel, I’ve been asking Gordon for a formal test. This could have all been squashed a long time ago if everybody would just be mature adults.”
