RHONY's Brynn Whitfield reveals plans to slide into Captain Jason's DMs post-BravoCon Get the latest on her crush on Shep Rose as the 'Real Housewives of New York City' star spills the tea
Real Housewives of New York City's Brynn Whitfield didn't find any romantic prospects at BravoCon, but she may reach out to Captain Jason Chambers through a DM soon. "He's incredibly attractive, so I plan on sliding into his DMs," revealed Brynn exclusively to We at BravoCon on November 4th. This interaction occurred just hours after they encountered each other at The Bravos event. "I intend to play the role of a helpless damsel and ask for his assistance since I am unable to swim. Men are often drawn to women in distress," added Brynn.
Andy Cohen introduced Captain Jason to the Real Housewives franchise's most eligible bachelorettes, including Brynn, during The Bravos taping on Friday, November 3, planting the seed of romance. Since then, Captain Jason has been seen taking pictures with Lala Kent, a star from Vanderpump Rules, causing speculation among Bravo fans.

However, Brynn may have another potential love interest from Bravo. At BravoCon this weekend, she finally had the chance to meet Southern Charm star Shep Rose, whom she had previously described as "cute".
"I really love Shep. He has a great personality and a good sense of humor. And I just found out that he's also a huge book enthusiast, just like me," Brynn shared with Us. "No, we're just friends, but we're planning to grab a drink together later."
While some Bravo fans were anticipating a romantic connection between Brynn and Shep, she explicitly stated that their relationship is strictly platonic.
"I enjoy spending time with all those guys. They're a blast to be around," she expressed, talking about the gentlemen from Southern Charm. "I'm not sure if dating any of them would be wise, but my goodness, they're great company for hanging out and grabbing a drink. I have plenty of attractive male friends, but strictly on a platonic level, and I think they're fantastic."
During his recap of BravoCon, Andy revealed that Brynn had her sights set on Shep throughout the entire weekend. However, nothing transpired because the Southern Charm star was described by Andy as being a tipsy Golden Retriever. During a recent episode of SiriusXM's "Andy Cohen Live," the Bravo boss confessed, "I think she realized it wasn't going to happen." He went on to explain that on their way to the Bravo Awards, Shep began discussing the prospect of procreating or having a baby, but that idea was quickly dismissed.
Brynn revealed her hidden affection for Shep during a July episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, where she appeared alongside her fellow RHONY stars.
During the show, Brynn jokingly remarked, "It takes one commitment-phobe to recognize another commitment-phobe. I enjoy watching Southern Charm. Coming from Indiana, I appreciate the contrasts between the Midwest and the South, where things can get quite messy."
The next month, Brynn made another appearance on WWHL and disclosed that Shep had messaged her on Instagram.
"He's incredibly kind and intelligent. Really sweet, yeah," she shared. "And our conversations are purely innocent. We discuss topics like philosophy and dogs, which are our shared interests."
Shep, on his end, discussed Brynn's "crush" during BravoCon.
In a video posted on the Bravo TikTok account on Friday, November 3, he expressed his enthusiasm to meet her and have a laugh about it. However, he stated that he wouldn't take any action unless she insists.
