On this season of the Bravo reality TV show Blood, Sweat and Heels, fans welcomed newcomer Chantelle Fraser to the show’s cast. The UK native and founder of Flawless NYC made her television debut on the popular show and forged strong friendships and even some rivalries along the way. In this exclusive celebrity interview, CupidsPulse.com Executive Editor Lori Bizzoco caught up with Fraser who shared details about her time on the show, who she’s dating, and what’s next for her.
Reality TV Newcomer Discusses Her Experience on the Show
Fraser joined the cast of the Bravo reality TV show in its second season, and cites her experience on the show as “surreal.” She reveals, “Well it’s obviously surreal watching yourself on television, especially because I haven’t been on television before, seeing myself being myself. So that’s always interesting.” Fraser adds that she was pleased with how she portrayed herself, but wished that the show reflected more depth regarding disputes between cast members.
One of Fraser’s biggest disputes this season was between herself and fellow cast member Demetria Lucas D’Oyley. Fraser says that the feud between the two women was not portrayed as well on the show. “Me and Demetria had a bit of beef on the show and I kind of felt like it didn’t really reflect what truly went down from the cut, which was unfortunate,” she says. Currently Fraser confirms that the two women “don’t have a relationship” after the events on the show transpired.
Despite this feud however, the young businesswoman says that she has formed great friendships with some of her fellow cast members including Geneva Thomas and Daisy Lewellyn, both of whom she speaks with regularly.
Bravo Star Shares Relationship Details and What’s Next
Before appearing on Blood, Sweat and Heels, the reality TV star was romantically linked to Mario Singer, the ex-husband of Ramona Singer from Real Housewives of New York. Rumors surrounded Fraser and Singer, who were reportedly believed to be a celebrity couple. However, Fraser revealed that she is currently in a celebrity relationship with one of her ex-boyfriends. She shared that she and her current flame, who is a New York City lawyer, have been dating since the show wrapped almost one year ago and that fans can “forget the rumors” that she and Singer are an item.
Although she has had a mostly positive experience on the show, she says that being in the cast presented challenges as well. “The biggest struggle I think is staying focused on day to day business activities because people want to pull and push you in different directions. It’s great, but at the same time I still need to keep an eye on my business.”
A new project that the entrepreneur is currently working on is flawless-living.com, which she says is a weekly website that is “focused on self development.” Fraser shares “My goal is to be the best version of myself, and I know that it’s the the goal of many other people too. It’s a journey, so we’ve enlisted experts in nutrition, health, wellness, beauty and love.”
After five months of filming, Fraser says that being on the show is better than she imagined. She reveals that the positive feedback from the media as well as the support of her fans have been “overwhelming.” She also adds, “I’m all about growing and learning. By watching myself on TV for better or for worse, I can grow and I can learn.”

Mario Singer sure loves the Bravo ladies! Per the latest celebrity gossip, Real Housewives of New York reality TV star Ramona Singer announced her plan to divorce her husband in August after she allegedly caught him cheating multiple times with his mistress. Now, it’s being reported that he’s dating Chantelle Fraser, a newcomer to the cast of season two of Blood, Sweat and Heels. Our team at CupidsPulse.com got an inside look at this budding romance while at the “A Flawless Affair” event on the Hornblower Infinity a few weeks ago.

CupidsPulse.com Executive Editor Lori Bizzoco was on the scene at the hot NYC event last week, “A Flawless Affair” on the Hornblower Infinty, and had the chance to chat with the event planner responsible for the evening, Chantelle Fraser, in an exclusive celebrity interview.

Bravo’s Blood, Sweat and Heels reality TV star Brie Bythewood has it all: an impressive career, a devoted man, and soon, a little girl to call her own. CupidsPulse.com Executive Editor Lori Bizzoco spoke with the real estate developer at the OK! Magazine New York Fashion Week event on September 10th to get some insight on her celebrity pregnancy and the upcoming season of the hit show. However, this week, there have been rumblings that Bythewood won’t be returning to Blood, Sweat and Heels, so we followed up with her and got the full scoop on her plans for the future. Here’s what we know:
Bravo Star Talks About Reality TV Show
The mom-to-be spoke to us about the recent rumors of her departure from the reality TV show, “It was a decision made months ago,” she reveals in our celebrity interview. “For me, my pregnancy is, and has been, my focus.”
When we asked Bythewood if there were any new projects brewing or if she would be taking a break, she said that instead of slowing down, her schedule has actually picked up, and she has a new project in the works, hinting, “That will be something everyone will have to wait to see! I can’t really get into the details about it quite yet, but it will be very different from what you saw on Blood, Sweat and Heels.”

Brie Bythewood Dishes on Her Celebrity Pregnancy
The Emerson alumna describes the father of her soon-to-be daughter as her “heartbeat” and gushes that he’ll be an amazing dad. She goes on to say, “He’ll be the first man [our daughter] ever loves, and she doesn’t know how amazing of a person that is to have as a first love.”
While speaking of the gender reveal party she and her longtime boyfriend hosted, Bythewood reflects on the day their doctor called to announce the sex of their baby. She appointed her mother as the keeper of the secret, as she wanted the news to remain a surprise so she could share the moment with the rest of her loved ones. So when the party came around, the original Mama Bythewood filled a box with pink balloons, and when the couple opened it, they rejoiced at the news of a baby girl on her way.
It was difficult to meet up with a few of her former castmates to tell them the news of her celebrity pregnancy, and she regrets that they read the story in the press first. She states, “We couldn’t get it together, so I said, ‘You know what, you’re going to read some news; I wanted to tell you first.’ But I refused to tell them over the phone.”
We’re sad that there will be no pregnancy and celebrity romance on the second season of Blood, Sweat and Heels — we’ll miss the class and sophistication that the mama-to-be brought to the small screen!
