'Southern Charm' stars Jarrett 'JT' Thomas and Venita Aspen's budding romance seems to be driven by storyline
'Southern Charm' Season 10 will feature Jarrett “JT” Thomas and Venita Aspen's romance taking center stage. In the trailer, the two are seen sharing sweet conversations, with JT admitting his attraction to the 31-year-old influencer. He later asks if they’re on the same page, to which Venita shyly nods with a glowing smile. While their chemistry has made fans root for them, it’s likely that their connection might be just a showmance.
According to their official BravoTV.com bios, the exact nature of JT and Venita's relationship remains unclear. They’ve shared a genuine friendship for a long time, but their interactions this season suggest something more. Notably, it is likely that JT's reputation for stirring drama could complicate things. Many outlets also confirm that JT is only pursuing Venita for a storyline.
Rumors of a fabricated "love triangle" have also been circulating, casting doubts on JT’s intentions. Moreover, Venita is seen breaking down in tears in another part of the trailer. While the reason behind her vulnerability isn’t confirmed, JT’s rumored flings might play a role. As the season unfolds, it remains to be seen if their bond will deepen or if JT's love for drama will backfire.
