Just when you thought you knew everything about Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kelli Potter, here she comes with the revelation that she’s been dating someone for an entire year. The reality star and restaurateur made the shocking admission in a sneak peek of RHOA Season 17 Episode 8, but don’t expect to see him on screen anytime soon. She won’t even reveal his real name.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 17 Episode 8 preview has arrived
Although Kelli introduced the group to a “date” in the Season 17 premiere, it turns out that was just some random guy because in Episode 8, she revealed to the audience that she’s been “officially” with someone else for an entire year.
So, who is this special man who has been quietly capturing Kelli’s heart off-camera for the past year? She says that he goes by Jarvis, and yes, that’s inspired by Iron Man and his AI assistant. We briefly hear his voice in the sneak peek, but given that she’s using an alias, we can safely assume he won’t be popping up on screen anytime soon.
Either way, it sounds like she’s really into this guy, but it wasn’t love at first sight. They met at an Atlanta Hawks game, and she wasn’t initially feeling it.
“I actually wasn’t interested,” Kelli admitted. “We just talked briefly, and we exchanged numbers. Ever since then, you know, Tony Stark has been doing his thing.”
We love to hear it. A good man is exactly what Kelli needs right now, because she has a lot going on. Her ex-husband filed court docs to prevent their kids from filming RHOA with her. Her new Nana’s Chicken-N-Waffles location has been struggling (and eventually closed).
Plus, she’s in the middle of an unhinged beef with Porsha Williams, who recently accused her of trying to scissor her. Kelli is going through it in Season 17, but it sounds like Jarvis has been a much-needed source of comfort through all of it.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 17 airs new episodes on Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo. You can stream it the following day on Peacock.
