“Southern Charm” star Kathryn Dennis and her boyfriend Chleb Ravenell have reportedly called it quits.
“She broke up with him and they are no longer living together,” a source told Us Weekly Thursday. “There is no bad ill will between them.”
The source shared that Dennis, 30, wants to get married and have more kids, and Ravenell, 32, apparently wasn’t onboard. Dennis currently shares daughter Kensie, 7, and son Saint, 6, with ex-boyfriend Thomas Ravenel. (Chleb and Thomas are not related, though it was alleged earlier this year by co-star Craig Conover that Thomas’ family once owned Chleb’s as slaves, hence the similarity between their names.)
“Her future husband would have to be this amazing stepfather to her children and be someone who would make a serious commitment to her, and [Chleb] just wasn’t that,” the insider said. “They weren’t meant to be and even friends of hers picked up on it. She has so much love in her life as is with her little kiddos.”
The couple recently took their relationship to the next level when they moved into a Charleston apartment together. First linked in the summer of 2020, Dennis and Ravenell waited to make their romance Instagram official until that October. The reality star has subsequently deleted all of her photos with her now-ex on Instagram.
Dennis and Ravenell’s relationship initially caused controversy, because Dennis was facing backlash at the time for sending a racially insensitive emoji to a black DJ.
“My boyfriend is black,” she told co-star Shep Rose on a Season 7 episode. “Chleb and I have known each other since … we started flirting and kind of hanging out probably before the quarantine. [It was] a few months ago, I don’t know the exact date.”
“I could easily be like, ‘Yeah, well, I do have a black boyfriend,’” she added, referring to the backlash. “But I’m not going to say that because I don’t want people to be like, ‘Oh, that’s convenient.’”
Neither Dennis nor Ravenell’s reps immediately responded to Page Six’s request for comment.
Filming for the eighth season of “Southern Charm” is currently underway.
