Apparently, Southern Charm star Salley Carson has a thing about sliding into people’s DMs.
“I’m definitely talking to people,” she told the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, which aired this morning. “I’m just not seriously dating.”
After admitting that she’s not on any dating apps, Salley teased, “I slide in the DMs.” Recently, she even slid into the DMs of an NFL professional athlete, who may already have a girlfriend.
The NFL’s Cooper DeJean is allegedly dating WWE’s Nikki Garcia
“I just slid into Cooper DeJean’s,” Salley confessed. Cooper is a cornerback for the Philadelphia Eagles, and he’s just 23 years old. He’s also reportedly dating WWE legend Nikki Garcia.
Perhaps “dating” is too strong a word, since Nikki has only been to a couple of Eagles games, and she and Cooper have “hung out.” Plus she’s 20 years older than him, just getting over a nasty divorce and has a child.
Although it wasn’t her first “slide,” Salley recalled sending Cooper an article about his relationship with Nikki, asking, “Are you dating her?”
It all started with the two “liking” each other’s social media pictures, but they soon became friendly. “I have his number. I think he’s so cute. He’s going to kill me,” she said, blushing furiously.
After “liking” a post about Cooper and Nikki “possibly dating,” Salley finally messaged him.
“I went to his page [and thought], ‘Oh, he’s super cute,’” she said. “Then I liked his photo, and he liked three of mine. Then I DM’d him, [and] he DM’d me back.”
She was actually “shocked” that he responded, since he has 1.1 million Instagram followers. Maybe he’s a Southern Charm fan?
Noting that they’ve yet to meet in real life, they still seem to be in contact. Salley shared, “I told him ‘happy birthday’ like two days ago.”
“I would love to meet him if he’s not dating [Nikki],” she added. “Now I’m scared because that girl is going to beat my ass if they are dating.”
Southern Charm airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo. It streams the next day on Peacock.
