Last September, Bailey told PEOPLE that she had met someone she was romantically interested in, but planned to slow things down following her split from Fox Sports correspondent Mike Hill after two years of marriage.
“It’s going well, it’s going,” she said of her dating life at the time. “There’s someone I really like to date, but we’re going slow. I’m still open to dating other people.”
Bailey filed for divorce from Hill in October 2022. At the time, she shared a statement with PEOPLE that read: “God doesn’t make mistakes! I truly believe that Mike coming into my life was fate. I jumped in with both feet and gave it my all.”
“Although that path has come to an end,” she added. “I am so grateful for our continued friendship and the beautiful memories we have made together. God willing, I will find love again. Whatever is meant to be, will be; and I couldn’t be more excited for my next chapter!”
