Does 'RHOA' Star Kenya Have A Legit BF?

by Kayla Hawkins

Better than any other revelation in the latest The Real Housewives of Atlanta is that chronic singleton Kenya Moore has a new boyfriend — Matt, the fitness instructor you may remember from earlier this season. While Kenya's relationships on this show have been sketchy at best and Walter at worst, it looks like Matt is a serious catch, between his admirable physique and the fact that he bought Kenya two adorable puppies and some designer goods for her birthday this year. And according to Instagram, always a reliable place for some reality TV scoop, the two are still together. According to Kenya, the two just started dating a little earlier in the season, but quickly, the relationship became serious.

As an Atlanta fan, I'm naturally skeptical. The details of Kenya's love life have been debated before, and she certainly loves posting a suggestive picture or two in the offseason suggesting she has a boyfriend without his identity ever becoming public. But Matt is real (you can see him posting pics on IG too), and in addition to being a great gift giver, he's also got a good sense of humor (though no use for Kenya's hair product line).

And, throughout the rest of the episode, it did seem like Kenya's mind was elsewhere. Now whether she was really just in a love bubble or her house was really in jeopardy is hard to know, but she certainly didn't have time to come to the meeting with Cynthia and Kim over the Cynthia Bailey Eyewear commercial that will take up the majority of the cast's Jamaica trip in the upcoming episodes. Hopefully texting Matt cute vacation selfies all day won't stop Kenya from continuing her entertaining feud with Kim Fields while they're supposed to be shooting a commercial together — their makeup history lesson earlier in this same episode was like watching two boxers in the ring.
