"Southern Charm" star Kathryn Dennis has a new man in her life and just made their relationship Instagram official.

On Friday, Dennis shared a snap on Instagram of her and boyfriend Chleb Ravenell with his arms wrapped around her. She kept the caption short but sweet, writing "You" with two hearts emoji.

Dennis and Ravenell, a former college football player, were first linked to each other three months ago when Us Weekly spotted her on the Instagram feed of Chleb's brother Chelsie Ravenell's girlfriend, Jacquelyn Stewart. The "Southern Charm" cast member got cozy with Ravenell in the photos from his birthday party in July.

Fans were quick to congratulate the happy couple, while others mentioned Dennis' ex, Thomas Ravenel, whom she split from in 2016. The pair share two children.

"Yeah she ain’t coming back Thomas," one commented on her post with laughing emoji.

"Thomas somewhere punching the air," another wrote.

"Very cute couple. You guys compliment each other. Soo happy for you Kathryn. I've watched you on the show since the beginning. God Bless," a third Instagram user commented.

Some followers also noted that the family name of Dennis' new man was similar to her ex's.

"The last name thing is uncomfortable but you go girl," one commented.

Just recently, Ravenel confirmed that Dennis moved in with him in his new house earlier this year because her home was being repainted, staying in the guest room. He said he believes that it was best for Kathryn and their kids to stay with him temporarily because it was not safe at her home.

He revealed that he welcomed the Bravo cameras into his property but didn't think that the network will air it.

"I just let them film a little segment with the kids as a favor to Kathryn," Ravenel told Us Weekly. "I wasn’t paid. At the time, she was staying at my house in the guest room because her house was being painted and was unsafe for her and the kids.”

Earlier this year, rumors had surfaced that the two got back together after they were spotted at a James Bond-themed party. Bravo Bible shared a photo of the exes and claimed that they rekindled their romance, but Dennis immediately denied it by commenting, "not true."
