While we’ve seen Mia’s first child, Joshua, little is known about Gordon’s adult daughter, and she’s never been on Potomac. However, Gordon and Mia’s other two children — Jeremiah, 8, and Juliana, 6 — are often featured on RHOP and on Mia’s Instagram accounts.

Gordon Thornton’s net worth, or lack thereof, contributed to his and Mia’s divorce.
In addition to denying her current boyfriend fathered her and Gordon’s son, Mia stated at the reunion that Inc didn’t cause her and her husband’s separation. She said Gordon’s financial woes ultimately led to her abandoning the marriage, stating Gordon would wake her up at 4 am for business meetings and empty her bank account.
“I wake up, and all my money is at zero,’ Mia recalled. ‘It’s controlling, and eventually, a girl has got to do what a girl has got to do.”
Mia also said that, despite Gordon being 32 years her senior and having an estimated net worth of $100 million, he was financially “functioning bankrupt,” a fact she discovered one year into the marriage. Around the time of their marriage, Mia said she inherited money from her grandparents’ death and was now helping Gordon with his finances after he was voted out of his family’s business, The Joint Chiropractic, which he and Mia opened in 2013.

Season 8 of Potomac showed Mia and Gordon downsizing from their luxurious Potomac mansion to a 1,500-square-foot rental house. At the reunion, Mia addressed being sued by an apartment in Maryland after Gordon refused to move out and Mia refused to pay the apartment’s bill.
Despite Gordon and Mia’s money problems, the soon-to-be divorcees remain friends. When Gizelle Bryant asked Mia if she felt she was “duped” by Gordon after believing he was wealthy, Mia said she only wished Gordon would’ve been more honest about his lack of experience managing large amounts of money beforehand.
