‘Southern Charm’ Star Kathryn Dennis is Reportedly Dating Chleb Ravenell, a Charleston Native with Ties to ‘Southern Charm’ Cast

Another day, another Ravenel(l).

Weeks after her baby daddy Thomas Ravenel welcomed a child with another woman, Kathryn Dennis is proving that she, too, has moved on. 

Us Weekly reports the Southern Charm star and mother of two has been linked to Chleb Ravenell, a Charleston native who has ties to some of the ‘Southern Charm’ cast, namely Craig Conover and former cast member Naomie Olindo.

Back in January, Chleb’s brother Chelsie and Chelsie’s girlfriend, Jacquelyn Stewart, posed for a photo with Kathryn and Thomas at a party. At the time, the photo led some to speculate on social media that Thomas and Kathryn were dating again; however, both denied the claims.

Chelsie’s Twitter bio identifies him as a stylist at Gwynn’s – the very store that fired Kathryn in May after she used a monkey emoji to refer to an African American woman in a DM that went viral. As for Chelsie’s girlfriend Jacquelyn, she reportedly knows ‘Southern Charm’ cast members Austen Kroll and Madison LeCroy, though she appears to have a much closer friendship with Kathryn.

In fact, it was Jacquelyn’s post this week that all but confirmed Kathryn’s new relationship with Chleb. The photo, taken during Chleb’s birthday trip, featured both couples, with Kathryn sitting between Chleb’s legs and Chleb kissing her on the head. 

The video clip Jacquelyn shared showed both couples riding in a car together.  

T-Rav may have one less L in his last name, but he’s walking away with one in this situation.

Thomas, Kathryn’s ex and the father of her two children, has yet to comment on Kathryn’s (possible) romance; however, he may be too preoccupied at the moment to notice. As The Ashley told you earlier this month, Thomas welcomed a son, Jonathan Jackson Ravenel, June 29 with Heather Mascoe, a 38-year-old registered nurse whom he briefly dated.

  1. AH HA! So this is why she got to keep her job LOL…this damage control is laughable. Can’t be racist if she has a black boyfriend right? LOL these people aren’t slick. Anyway, honestly since Cam, Chelsea, and Naomi left, I’m not sure how much of this season I’ll watch, if any. None of the other supporting female cast is really all that entertaining. I think I’m going to make the a full transition from Charleston to NOLA. The NOLA cast is pretty entertaining.


  2. I wonder if this is calculated to try and save her job on Southern Charm?

    Naomi just did a podcast interview where she said Kathryn was very calculated in her storylines and manipulative.

    Then comes her first public relationship, which just happens to be with an African American, after the racial controversy. (Where she put a monkey emoji in response to an African American woman.) I just wouldn’t put anything past her to save her sole source of income!


    1. 100% agree with you…this immediately seems so fake and disingenuous to me. Seems like SC Charleston is trying to kill 2 birds with 1 stone…this keeps dramatic Kathryn on the show, and brings “diversity” the cast…It’s so obvious…and I agree, Kathryn does seem very manipulative. She has seriously gotten every single entertaining, fan favorite female to leave. Landon, Cameran, Chelsea and Naomi…there’s a common denominator here, and it’s Kathryn.


      1. Agreed. They will probably date just long enough for the next season filming, promoting, and airing (6 to 9 months).


  3. Can Kathryn post ANY pictures without filtering the hell out of them? Come on girl, we watch the show, and see pap shots of you. We know you do not look like that. Great thing to be teaching your daughter. Oh well, I hate to say it, but with you and TRape as her parents, she doesn’t have much of a chance.
