The Real Housewives of Atlanta star has been making headlines for her younger boyfriend — and his reveal might be coming soon.
“He just checks all my boxes,” Bailey, 57, told Us Weekly exclusively while attending the 15th Annual Christmas Tree Lighting at The Abbey on Sunday, December 1 alongside to promote their “Humble Brag” podcast.
While she’s still playing coy about her boyfriend’s identity, Bailey said he’s “been nothing but consistent …loving and kind” since the moment they first started dating.
Bailey didn’t offer Us the name of her new man, but did reveal that he’s a European musician. Due to their long-distance love, Bailey has “a lot” of FaceTimes with her new boyfriend — which means he might just be in the background of an upcoming RHOA scene.
“You might see some snippets,” she teased. “I come back as an official ‘friend’ for season 16 and there was, like, several times where I was FaceTiming with him. They may have caught him on the show.”
Bailey also told Us that her boyfriend slid into the DMs after seeing her at an event.
“I remember seeing him,” she gushes. “He said he definitely remembered seeing me, but he didn’t talk to me. He was a little shy.”
It seems like they’ve also mastered the art of long-distance. (Bailey told Us she’s going to see him perform in Switzerland over the Christmas holiday.)
“He’s able to come and visit me a lot and now that it’s the holidays, I’m able to go to Europe,” she shared. “We kind of have a rule at this point. If it’s more than like a month, month and a half, he’ll come here.”
Late last month, Bailey revealed during Bravo’s Fan Fest that they had been together for eight months.
“I just love being around him. My love language is personal touch. He’s very affectionate. We’re always holding hands,” Bailey gushed. “We’re always connected, and connection is really big for me.”
The RHOA star also joked that her man is “having more fun dating an older woman” than she is a younger man. “I don’t think age really defines the person because I’ve dated some very immature, older men.”
But Bailey doesn’t want to harp on their ages.
“I’m a lover of love and I’m always so excited when I’m in love, but I really want to try to keep as much of it private as I can,” she explained. “I don’t want to pretend that I’m not seeing someone because we are outside together. We’re just not on social media together.”
