Kim Zolciak is rumored to be dating Chet Hanks, a co-star from MTV’s The Surreal Life: Villa of Secrets.

The pair were recently seen enjoying a Jelly Roll concert, where they appeared affectionate and happy together.

The 46-year-old Real Housewives of Atlanta star shared photos and videos from the event on Instagram, showcasing moments with Hanks and their friend while enjoying the concert.

During the concert, the lovebirds enjoyed VIP treatment alongside country star Jelly Roll and his wife, Alyssa DeFord, also known as ‘Bunnie XO,’ and their friend Jenny Doyle.

In her Instagram post, she expressed her excitement about the event, stating,

“Had the best time with @jellyroll615 and his beautiful wifey @xomgitsbunnie so fun much with @chethanx @jennydoyle1111. One of my absolute favorite concerts and everyone that was/is part of this massive operation is beyond kind. There are no words for the happiness and joy that surrounded us all that night. I saw a whole lot of sparkle in the crowd.”

Despite Zolciak appearing to start a new romantic chapter in her life, she is still entangled in a highly publicized divorce from her estranged husband, Kroy Biermann.

The couple initially filed for divorce in May 2023 after being married for 11 years but, their divorce has been complicated and unresolved. They have not yet been settled.

Kroy filed for divorce again in August 2023, stating that their marriage was “irretrievably broken.” In response, Kim attempted to dismiss Kroy’s second filing, claiming they had been having sex since the filing and most recently on September 7, 2023.

Despite their ongoing legal battles, the couple celebrated their 12th wedding anniversary in November 2023 with an intimate dinner, and Kim began using her married name again on Instagram.

They were scheduled to appear in Fulton County Superior Court on November 5 and 6 to resolve their divorce, but the results of that hearing have not yet been made public.
