Southern Hospitality’s Joe Bradley ‘Pressing the Brakes’ on Romance With Danielle Olivera

Joe Bradley and Danielle Olivera are still together… or are they? Honestly, we don’t really know. The Southern Hospitality star has recently opened up about the Summer House fling he fell head over heels for. 

In a new interview with Us Weekly, Joe clearly defined the relationship with Danielle and said as of now, they aren’t exclusive. “I was kind of telling my friends and my mom earlier, I adore Danielle and I’ve never hit it off with someone so fast to the point where she’s been to Charleston twice,” he began. “This is my third time up here [in New York City], and even if I wasn’t here for Watch What Happens Live [with Andy Cohen], I would’ve come up to visit her this week. But I think we moved a little too fast.”

Joe and Danielle initially met during BravoCon 2023 in Las Vegas. The Charleston resident stated there was an “instantaneous” connection between them, leading to sleepovers, makeout sessions, and frequent trips to and from NYC. However, despite their connection, something is holding Joe back.

Although the pair were spotted together during a WWHL appearance and have since spoken publicly about their romance, Joe said he’s “kind of pressing the brakes a little bit.” 

“I just want to make sure we’re in the right place before I’m officially, like, ‘I’m your boyfriend, you’re my girlfriend.’ I don’t want to get hurt,” he said. “But more importantly, I don’t want to see her get hurt, and I just want to be in the best place possible before we make a hard launch.”

Hard launch? Joe, buddy, get real. A few months back, you were quoted saying you love moving fast. Lightning McQueen fast, at that. “That’s okay because I move fast once I know I like someone,” he said. Why the sudden change?  

When asked if Danielle and Joe are 100% official, the reality star made it clear: he’s a single man. 

“That’s what I think we’re figuring out right now,” he said. “So we’re still a little confused, but the one thing we’re not confused about is that we have feelings for each other.”

Oh, brother. Joe, just keep it real and say you want to date other women. It’s abundantly clear. I’m sure by midnight tonight, you’ll be in a new relationship with the hostess of the night at Republic. 

Southern Hospitality continues on Thursdays at 9/8c.
