Reality TV Newcomer Chantelle Fraser Talks Relationship Status & Blood, Sweat and Heels Finale
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.”

By Emma L. Wells
The premiere of The Bachelorette season 11 is less than three weeks away. We know we’ll be watching, but what about former Bachelor Chris Soules? It’s understandable that he may not want to tune in to the reality TV show to watch two of his celebrity exes — Kaitlyn Bristowe and Britt Nilsson — search for a relationship and love. “Kaitlyn and Britt were obviously a part of my life, and I’m interested to see how their journey goes,” Soules told People.com. “Honestly, right now, I’m okay with that part of my life being behind me.” Since The Bachelor, Soules certainly seems to have moved on to a happy celebrity engagement with his fiancé Whitney Biscoff. However, just because Prince Farming is busy with Dancing with the Stars doesn’t mean he’ll be able to avoid The Bachelorette. “Whitney will definitely be watching, so I’ll probably be watching,” he joked.

K: In preparation to get pregnant, Laura stopped taking birth control pills. Within a few weeks, my super sperm did not disappoint, and Laura surprised me with a positive pregnancy test. Although my confidence was extremely high, I did not expect her to get pregnant this quickly — my boys can swim!!! We were so excited for this to have happened and couldn’t wait to share this big news about our relationship and love with our family and friends. Everyone was thrilled for us.
L: One day, I was feeling unusually queasy, so I took a pregnancy test, and to my surprise, I was indeed pregnant! I wanted to tell Kirk the happy news in a sweet and clever way but couldn’t come up with anything. He was in the living room, and there was no way that I could wait a day to put something together. I grabbed our video camera and called him into the bathroom, so I could capture his reaction — it was priceless! I was feeling two strong emotions at this point: First, it was complete and utter joy. And second, I only have nine months to learn everything I can about pregnancy and motherhood. So we went to the bookstore, and I bought the five best books I could find and began my research.
