Are Charley Manley and Justin Assada engaged or about to be?
Following several months of dating, the 28-year-old Southern Charm star, who enjoyed a brief romance with Craig Conover, 37, amid season 11, was spotted at a jewelry store with the 28-year-old Southern Hospitality cast member.
“A well known Boston jeweler posted [Charley from Southern Charm and Justin from Southern Hospitality] on her stories. Shopping for a ring?!” Bravo and Cocktails wondered in the caption of a photo shared to their Instagram Story on July 6.
Then, the outlet shared an insider’s scoop.
“It definitely seems interesting they went there! It’s a small appointment only spot, so you really don’t just walk in and browse for the hell of it,” the source explained.
As Bravo fans may know, Charley and Justin were first linked to one another in September 2025. However, they didn’t go public with their relationship until March of this year. Months later, amid the Southern Hospitality season four reunion, Justin, who previously suggested he was “30 percent gay,” dished on his sexuality, as well as its impact on his romance with Charley.
“I’m comfortable in my sexuality. That’s the bottom line. To get serious about the matter is that I objectively like what I like. Now, have I exclusively been with women? Absolutely. If there was a guy, a sweeping fellow that came and took me off my feet and was perfect in every way, then I would not have any hesitation moving forward with it. It’s sexuality. It’s fluid,” Justin shared. “That’s just me.”
He then said his sexuality was a “tough” thing for his relationship.
“I feel like I’ve had to answer to it,” he admitted. “Even in my relationship with Charley now, it’s just like, it shouldn’t be that big of a deal.”
