Real Housewives of Atlanta stars are reacting to the devastating news that Gregg Leakes has passed away. The husband of their former costar NeNe Leakes was loved and respected by the cast and they took to social media to pour out words of encouragement for NeNe and the Leakes family.

Cynthia Bailey shares heartfelt message about Gregg Leakes

Many people have taken to social media and shared their condolences for NeNe after hearing the heartbreaking news. Some of her former Real Housewives of Atlanta costars have also shared messages on Instagram.

Cynthia Bailey, who was once best friends with NeNe before their epic falling out a few years ago, wrote a heartfelt message about Gregg. She posted a throwback photo of herself and her husband Mike Hill posing with Gregg and NeNe and shared the story behind the photo.

“Heartbroken. [three broken heart emojis] This is one of my favorite photos of us. It brings back such fond memories,” wrote Cynthia. “It was @itsmikehill birthday & we invited a few of our friends over for a last-minute gathering at Lake Bailey. Out of nowhere, Gregg asked to pray for Mike and I. For our love & our relationship. He was [the] first person to actually pray for us as a couple. It was so heartfelt and so beautiful.”

Cynthia continued, “We were all so touched and blown away by his words…He truly blessed us that night & we will never forget it. That was one of the many things that Gregg did to bless my life. I am so saddened to hear of his passing.”

My heart and prayers go out to @neneleakes and her family. Gregg was a good man, so kind & so loving. I will miss him, and will always honor his memory with love” added Cynthia.
