Are Kathryn Dennis & Boyfriend Chleb Ravenell Still Together?

Southern Charm’s Kathryn Dennis is facing speculation from her costars about her recent relationship with former football player Chleb Ravenell.

During last week’s episode, cast members questioned whether Dennis’ dynamic with her new boyfriend, who is Black, was genuine following the backlash she received after using a monkey emoji while speaking to a Black radio host, Page Six reported.

Leva Bonaparte addressed the relationship in a confessional, saying, “Banging a Black guy is not — it doesn’t make you, like, ‘woke.’” Later in the episode, the 41-year-old added that Dennis was ingenuine when reaching out to her and her husband following the scandal. Bonaparte accused Dennis of doing so only because she and her husband are minorities, according to Page Six.

When asked about how she would feel seeing Dennis at Madison LeCroy’s upcoming party, Bonaparte questioned whether Dennis’ relationship with Ravenell was “strategic,” Page Six continued.

“I wanna know if she’s bringing, like, a strategic Black boyfriend,” she said.

“I didn’t really think it was real,” Bonaparte added.

Now, fans are wondering how the new couple is doing and if they are still dating.
