Gordon Thornton is a North Carolina businessman. Gordon founded Thornton Investment GRP in 2017 after owning multiple McDonald’s restaurants and serving as the owner and CEO of Giselle Executive Management DBA. Aside from these endeavors, he also works at The Joint Chiropractic with his wife and seemed to be particularly enthusiastic about The Joint Chiropractic, which offers patients a cheap, easy, and accessible option to recover from back and neck problems.
“You’re helping people feel better every day. I’ve seen what chiropractic care did for my wife – it’s helped her treat her pain issues holistically and effectively. It’s hard not to be passionate about owning a business that makes this big of an impact on people’s lives. It’s also far easier to run than other businesses I’ve owned – McDonald’s was very hard to operate and even Massage Envy was a lot harder,” he explained on their business’ website.

The couple is the parents of two children, son Jeremiah and daughter Juju, and both had children from past relationships.
Despite their 32-year age difference, the couple seemed to be happy in their marriage. In fact, just recently, on February 24, 2023, Mia posted a family picture of them all, along with their dog. The family is looking good all together, and she wrote in the caption, “The Best of Me. 🤍 #momlife.”
Prior to that, she posted another family picture back on January 6, 2023. All of the members of the family are still looking great as ever, dressed in a formal and elegant manner. She then accompanied their family photo with a lengthy caption, saying, “Reverse, reverse. Yes, we MOVED! This was bittersweet as we anticipated living in the big house for at least 3 years while we decided to build/purchase, continue to rent who knows, but due to unforeseen circumstances, our big space got cut short.”
“One thing about me, I never stay down for long. Minor setback! Hopefully, we will have the opportunity to show you our new space! Elevator up ⬆️ Penthouse Living, we return! 🙏🏽 #blessings #thecomeback #isalwaysbetter #ihaveworktodo.”
The real housewife then concluded her caption by writing, “Sending love, peace, and prosperity your way, loves. Life is tough, but don’t give up when things happen to you. Keep Pushing, realign with your purpose and keep pushing! 🙏🏽.” The comments on the said post have been limited.

Real Housewives of Potomac Storyline for Gordon Thornton
Gordon Thornton joined “The Real Housewives of Potomac” in season 6 in 2021.
Gordon Thornton established a powerful impression on the cast during the Bravo reality show’s Oct. 3 episode about the couples’ vacation. Gordon was initially apprehensive about spending time at Maryland’s Eastern Shore with the other RHOP couples. He told Mia, “My ideal trip is not for me to go off with a bunch of people, half of them I don’t know. So am I excited about going? No. Am I going to support you? Absolutely.” Gordon even said that he can be a bit extra whenever he goes out, so he’s not joking. He informed the RHOP team that he is a strip club aficionado, for example, when on vacation. On the broadcast, Mia noted, “Gordon has different layers. We work hard, but we play harder.”
Mia’s co-housewife Karen Huger, told Bravo that Gordon reminded her of her own husband, Ray Huger, saying, “I love everything about Gordon. I can handle Gordon” and that Mia’s husband is a force to be reckoned with. Another cast member, Wendy Osefo, remarked that it was evident that Gordon had “let his hair down” on the cast trip, noting, “Gordon is out here just living his best life and I’m not mad at it.” However, she did point out that Gordon was “different” from what Mia had portrayed. Candiace Dillard Bassett agreed with Osefo that Gordon was nothing like her castmate had previously depicted him to the group, adding, “Going off of the way that Mia describes him, I know now that you can’t take anything that Mia says at face value because she’s probably lying or embellishing. So, why would we expect it to be any different when she’s describing her husband?”
