Selling Sunset Star Amanza Smith Unveils Secret Beau Amid Unexpected Health Scare

'Selling Sunset' star Amanza Smith reveals a new love interest following her battle with a blood infection, delighting fans with her mystery boyfriend debut

Selling Sunset actress Amanza Smith, 46, has officially revealed her new partner to the world. Taking to Instagram on August 2, she posted a video of herself enjoying a coconut beverage with her undisclosed boyfriend. In the caption, Smith implied that her significant other had been there for her during a recent health scare.

"When I was in my greatest time of need, you were there," she wrote, seemingly alluding to her hospitalization earlier this year due to a blood infection. "Love truly reveals itself when you least anticipate it, and I am immensely grateful for this extraordinary man!"

Smith opted not to disclose the name of her companion in her post — and she subtly implied that online detectives on Instagram may not have much success in finding him. "He isn't into social media!" she responded to a commentator who expressed interest in "stalking" his profile. "One of his countless remarkable qualities, haha."

Smith noted in a subsequent comment that the recording took place on Sunday, July 30. She expressed, "I am certainly experiencing improved well-being compared to before, although I still need to proceed at a gradual pace. I am making progress, and this person has been a tremendous source of support for me."

Smith's Selling Sunset co-stars were quick to congratulate the couple. Nicole Young, who made her Selling Sunset debut in season 6, wrote, "Cuties!!!! I'm so happy you both found each other and that you found an amazing man who truly values you." Chelsea Lazkani took a more light-hearted approach and joked, "Hiiii boooooo, not the IG reveal."

Smith's announcement about her relationship comes almost two months after she opened up to her Instagram followers about her hospitalization due to a blood infection. On June 11, she wrote, "Everyone, including myself, was extremely scared. I'm still experiencing pain, but I am hopeful that the surgery will alleviate my back pain."

Smith disclosed that her health problems commenced in May when she began encountering intense agony in her lower back. Following both an MRI and a CT scan, medical professionals advised her to seek further assessment at the hospital. Subsequently, she was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, where she received a diagnosis of osteomyelitis, a bone infection.

After an enduring stay of 31 days, Smith was ultimately discharged from the hospital last month. On July 4, she shared on Instagram, "I'm out! Currently acquainting myself with the operation of my new antibiotic device, which will remain connected to me 24/7 for the next few weeks."
