Are Marlo Hampton and Tyler Perry dating? Not quite. There’s an image currently making the rounds on social media, and it’s confusing the hell out of Real Housewives of Atlanta fans. The picture appears to show Marlo kissing Tyler in the middle of a restaurant.
Although we’d love to see Marlo bag another billionaire, we’re here to confirm that the photo you’re seeing floating around online is 100% fake. She’s not dating the man who brought Madea to our screens—at least not yet.
Real Housewives of Atlanta fans wondered if Tyler Perry and Marlo Hampton were dating
The confusion about Tyler and Marlo started this week after pictures surfaced of the two at a brunch. They both attended the SoulFull Sunday Gospel Brunch at Sea Salt Seafood in Atlanta on March 15. The two were among a ton of celebrity guests. They were all there to celebrate the birthday of Catherine Brewton, an executive at Broadcast Music, Inc.
Videos show the two sitting next to each other at the brunch and enjoying an afternoon of gospel and seafood. However, the picture that caught everyone’s attention is the one showing the pair smooching. That is AI-generated. They weren’t packing on any PDA at brunch, and this relationship appears to be platonic.
That means you can stop with the thinkpieces about Tyler’s dating history and Marlo’s propensity for dating rich guys. He’s not with the former RHOA star. This is just another example of someone with too much time on their hands playing around with AI, all while Tyler navigates a very real sexual assault lawsuit in court.
Of course, this is just the latest example of a Bravo star getting caught up in AI-generated headlines. Just last week, Brittany Cartwright from The Valley shut down rumors that she had a new boyfriend after an AI photo showed her cozying up with a man on the beach.
In the past, other AI posts have falsely reported on cancer diagnoses, divorces, and all sorts of other nonsense that never actually happened. In a world full of AI slop, you’ve got to stop, check your sources, and use an ounce of common sense.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta returns on Sunday, April 5 at 8/7c. You can stream it the next day on Peacock.
