Bailey and Hill caused a stir back in January when they were spotted posing for theirSophisticated Weddingshoot.
At the time, the internet went wild with everyone thinking the two had secretly walked down the aisle. But Bailey’s agent, Nick Roses, quickly cleared things up to PEOPLE exclusively.
“Not to worry, this was merely a photoshoot in preparation for their big day!” he said. “Cynthia looked lovely today! Be sure to check out [the magazine] for Mike and Cynthia’s full photoshoot, coming soon.”
Turns out that date will be soon. The 2020Sophisticated Weddings: New York Edition issue will be on sale on Amazon and on newsstands Feb. 12.
It’ll come with Bailey and Hill’s spread, which they’ve sweetly nicknamed “the Real #CHill” after their popular couple hashtag. (Hairstylist Julianna Diaz and makeup artist Lilly Rivera, both forBridalGal, provided glam.)

As for Bailey and Hill’sactualwedding, the couple still has a few months to get all the plans nailed down.
In November, they told PEOPLE they had picked out the “perfect” wedding date: Oct. 10, 2020.
Details are still being worked out, including whether or not the pair are going to have a large bridal party.
“I’m not wanting to have any bridesmaids. It’s a lot going on in the friendship department over here. I’m trying to mend friendships, new friendships are blossoming. We’ll have to see what happens when we get to the reunion, who even makes it to the wedding. But it’s something we have to figure out because Mike really wants groomsman,” Bailey said.
“It’s a lot of drama!” Hill added.
