Charley Manley has reportedly been keeping a secret boyfriend under wraps — and he’s part of the Bravo family.
Following a short-lived romance with Craig Conover, 36, amid the 11th season of Southern Charm, a new report claims the 28-year-old Bravolebrity has been dating Southern Hospitality cast member Justin Assada, 29, who was previously linked to singer Maren Morris, 35, since September 2025.
“We ship!” the Charleston Bravoholic on Instagram declared on March 13. “Both are the sweetest and hopefully the new king and queen of King Street/Charleston … Charley Manley from Southern Charm [and] Justin Asada from Southern Hospitality spewing rumors of allegedly dating since September of 2025! Craig who?”
The fan page also included side-by-side photos of the apparent couple, along with the message, “These two have been together since September and are one hot Charleston couple.”
As Southern Charm fans recently saw, Charley called it quits with Craig following his drunken tirade against Salley Carson, 31, during which he slammed her as “dumb” and a “loser.”
“I’m thankful that I had a friendship with Craig before trying to explore anything romantically. And I’m confident that, you know, me pumping the brakes on us romantically is not ruining our friendship. It was just very obvious to me in that moment that, you know, this is not, like, someone that I want to be, like, romantically involved with right now,” Charley explained on the Southern Charm: After Show. “It was like, ‘Okay, now I know.’ But as a friend, I, like, wanted to be there for him, too. Like, ‘What’s going on, man? I feel like there’s, like, something going on, and I wanna help ya through it.’”
Charley was also under pressure to end the romance due to Salley’s past feelings for their castmate.
Southern Charm season 11 airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on Bravo, followed by Southern Hospitality at 9/8c.
