In a January 30 interview with People, Venita Aspen from Southern Charm talked about her feelings for Jarrett "JT" Thomas. They both confessed their feelings for each other in the latest episode, but things got complicated when JT revealed he had a girlfriend.
Venita initially thought JT was just being friendly, but later realized he genuinely had feelings for her. Their connection started in New York City.

However, Venita slowed things down because she was dating someone else at the time. Their friendship grew stronger after they appeared on Watch What Happens Live together.
