Bravo Stars Who've Dated Within The Network

While fresh out of a divorce from her husband of eight years, Michael Darby, in April 2022, "The Real Housewives of Potomac" star Ashley Darby found herself at BravoCon amongst many of her colleagues that October ... including "Summer House" hunk Luke Gulbranson.

Darby fessed up to an attraction to Gulbranson on an episode of "Watch What Happens Live" prior to the big convention, according to People. Less than a week later, at BravoCon, Gulbranson initiated an interaction, which he shared with Andy Cohen on a November episode of the late-night talk show. He also shared that they were still texting a month after the meeting. By December 2022, the couple had gone on a few dates before taking a pretty serious step.

That month Darby visited Gulbranson's home state of Minnesota and met his family — even posting a since-deleted cozy snap of the couple in the snow with a caption that included, "Thank you for showing me the beauty of Minnesota @lukegulbranson." Sadly, despite things looking like they were moving fast, Darby shared on a "Watch What Happens Live" appearance in January 2023 that the relationship was over, revealing, "Luke and I are not romantically involved anymore." The reality star cited her recent divorce as a big reason for the split.

Bravo viewers know that "Vanderpump Rules" star Peter Madrigal is quite the ladies' man. After some dalliances with nearly all of his female co-stars, it may not come as a shock that he's also dated outside of his series. But it wasn't Madrigal who revealed a connection to a newly-minted Bravo star, but one of the newest cast members of "The Real Housewives of New York City," Brynn Whitfield.

During a game of "Swipe Right or Call It a Night" on "Watch What Happens Live" in August 2023 — during which host Andy Cohen showed her a range of single men from the Bravo universe to see who she'd swipe right for — Whitfield replied that she had "been there, done that" when a photo of Madrigal was shown. 

Cohen noted that the two had made out before while showing his photo, as Whitfield previously revealed the juicy information on the "Mention It All" podcast a month prior (via Yahoo!). There she revealed that she made out with the SUR manager "once at Halloween," noting that it happened way back in 2006. 

Since technically "Summer House" started as a slight spinoff of Bravo's other series, "Vanderpump Rules," it's no shock that there has been some intermingling between the casts. But fans were pretty surprised to learn two of the shows' original cast members and biggest stars, Scheana Shay and Carl Radke, were once an item.

Rumors first surfaced in 2018, with many "Vanderpump Rules" cast members claiming there was a hookup between the two stars, including an appearance on "Watch What Happens Live" from Kristen Doute where she "one million percent" confirmed that it took place. Even Radke confirmed the news on a "Watch What Happens Live" episode that February, stating, "Scheana and I hooked up, yes." 

Despite the confirmation from one half of the alleged duo, Shay squashed those rumors during a "Vanderpump Rules After Show" in which she stated, "One million percent it never happened." But a year later, Shay was telling a totally different story. She actually appeared on "Watch What Happens Live" in April 2019 right alongside Radke, where they confirmed they did, indeed, hookup at his apartment. 

"The Real Housewives of New York City" returned for Season 14 with a newly-revamped cast, including the very single and ready-to-mingle Brynn Whitfield. And the beauty wasted no time getting to know current Bravo celebrities, which she explained during an August 2023 episode of "Watch What Happens Live." Whitfield revealed to host Andy Cohen that she had already been exchanging DMs with a single "Southern Charm" gentleman, Shep Rose (via US Weekly).

When pressed on their communications, Whitfield told Cohen, "He's very sweet. He's very smart. Very sweet, yeah." And as to what the Bravo stars talk about? She revealed, "It's all PG. It's, like, about philosophy and dogs — our favorite subjects." And it wasn't the first time Whitfield mentioned Rose. During an appearance a month prior alongside all of her co-stars, she had named Rose as one of the people she was most excited to meet at this year's BravoCon. 

"The Real Housewives of New York City" star Sonja Morgan is known for her wild dating escapades, and after revealing her fling with "Million Dollar Listing New York" star Ryan Serhant, it was only a matter of time before she fessed up to other Bravo connections. In July 2023, Morgan stopped by "Watch What Happens Live" to promote her latest Bravo series, "Luann and Sonja: Welcome to Crappie Lake," and revealed an interesting tidbit about her time with another Bravo star, "Southern Charm" hunk Craig Conover (via Decider).

The revelation came as a surprise, as host Andy Cohen had actually been asking her co-star Luann de Lesseps about her interest in "Southern Charm" star Austen Kroll when Morgan volunteered, "I did the other one ... We had a little tete-a-tete." Morgan was referring to Kroll's best friend and co-star, Conover. For his part, Conover denied the hookup claims, responding on an episode of his podcast, "Pillows and Beer," with co-host Kroll (per Daily Mail). 

The pillow entrepreneur explained, "No, we haven't kissed. I haven't seen her in like five years." Despite the denial, he added, "Sonja has always been a funny friend to have ... She's aggressive, she's a bundle of fun, but no, Sonja and I have not kissed. Sonja was just having fun on 'Watch What Happens.'" The pair's flirtation was first put on display when they both appeared on an episode of "Watch What Happens Live" in June 2017, where Morgan famously showered him with compliments. 

"Southern Charm" fans know all too well how messy Austen Kroll's love life has been over the years. So why wouldn't he get into a love triangle with ladies from an entirely different Bravo series? We'll start with his entanglement with "Summer House" original cast member Lindsay Hubbard.

The two were close friends for years, but fans weren't privy about their romantic relationship until they crossed paths on the "Summer House" spinoff, "Winter House." Hubbard talked to US Weekly about their rollercoaster relationship in 2021, revealing, "Austen and I do have a history when we're both single that you don't know what's going to happen." During the filming of that season of "Winter House," it was her "Summer House" co-star Ciara Miller that Kroll was interested in.

But by the summertime, Kroll's sights seemed to be back on Hubbard as he attended her birthday party and snuck in a makeout session in front of partygoers ... including Miller, on an episode of "Summer House." The on-again, off-again relationship came to an end shortly after that, as Hubbard was linked to her "Summer House" co-star Carl Radke beginning in September 2021. According to People, the two got engaged in August 2022.

Shep Rose's love life has been documented on Bravo since "Southern Charm" started in 2014. He even got his own spinoff while on his quest for Love, "Relationshep," in 2017. But he has tried his hand at love connections in the Bravo world as well. During a December 2017 appearance on "Watch What Happens Live," Rose revealed a surprising past hookup — a one-time star of "Summer House," Jaclyn Shuman.

While on the late-night talk show with "Vanderpump Rules" star Stassi Schroeder, the stars were asked if they had hooked up with a cast member from another Bravo show. Rose explained he had, with someone from "Summer House," elaborating by saying, "She was single ... She was dating somebody during the show first season, and she didn't come back second season and ... I'm telling too much." 

Though he didn't offer up her name at first, host Andy Cohen and Schroeder figured it out, both inferring it was Jaclyn Shuman. Shuman only appeared in the first season of the series, and though things didn't work out between the two of them, Rose added, "I think the world of her." 

Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover first met during Season 4 of "Summer House," after which Conover ended up taking one of DeSorbo's roommates home (see more on that drama above!). And though they crossed paths a few times after that — they were co-stars for the inaugural season of "Winter House" in early 2021 — there was no spark at that point. In Summer 2021, that all seemed to change as the two quietly started a romance. 

They went public with their relationship in October 2021, with Conover opening up to People that month. "We both had a crush on each other from three years ago when I came to the Hamptons for Kyle [Cooke's] birthday party," Conover explained. "We are pretty happy now. I don't think either of us has ever dated someone else in the industry. We get each other, it's nice. We really are each other's biggest fans, which is something that I've always looked for." The couple is still going strong, with their main issue seemingly being DeSorbo's hesitancy to get engaged, as documented in both of their Bravo shows' recent seasons.
