Venita Aspen may have a new man in her life.
Over the weekend, the 32-year-old Southern Charm star, who was briefly linked to Summer House‘s Carl Radke, 41, following a messy split from Jarrett “JT” Thomas, 41, was spotted at a U.S. Open tennis match with 47-year-old actor Anthony Mackie, who has seemingly been single since last summer, when he was seen canoodling with a mystery woman.
“Anon please but Venita Aspen and Anthony Mackie at the US Open looking cute,” an insider revealed to Deuxmoi on September 7, along with a video of Venita and Anthony in a suite with another man.

Following the news of Venita’s outing with Anthony, a number of fans expressed excitement.
“Finally this woman getting a man of her caliber!” one person exclaimed.
“GIRRLLLLLLL!!!! I love this for you!” said another.
“Please let this be ‘a thing,'” shared a third. “They look awfully cute.”
Someone else said, “I LOVE THIS FOR HER,” and another person added, “Omggggggg go Venita!!!”
As Southern Charm fans may recall, Venita engaged in a short-lived showmance with JT amid season 10, which ended when his relationship with another woman was uncovered. The following year, Venita confirmed her first date with Carl.
“We have now gone on one date, which is very nice,” Venita revealed on a December 2025 episode of Not Skinny But Not Fat. “We went to Soft Bar, of course, first, and I got to see that whole experience. Then, we went to dinner at a Mexican restaurant around the corner.”
“We were together, the whole day, for about five hours,” she added.
But months later, speaking to Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea, Carl admitted that he wasn’t looking to settle down as he also took interest in his new co-star, Bailey Taylor, 31.
“I love Bailey. Venita’s great. It’s been friendly, but some time has passed since we went on that date. We had a good time. She’s awesome, but there is a significant distance between the two places that we live. And I just, I’ve had a lot going on,” he explained. “I am dating, just keeping my eyes open.”
Southern Charm season 12 is expected to premiere on Bravo sometime later this year or early next year.
