Kim Zolciak confirms she’s dating someone new after being linked to Chet Hanks… amid Kroy Biermann divorce

Kim Zolciak has confirmed she’s dating again just days after breaking down in tears over finally being ‘free of’ her ex-husband Kroy Biermann.

The Real Housewives Of Atlanta alum, 46, told TMZ on Tuesday that she’s seeing someone new and is ‘really happy.’

While she didn’t reveal the idenтιтy of her suitor, Zolciak — who was previously linked to Tom Hanks’ son Chet — dished that he’s ‘age-appropriate’ and ‘definitely not’ a Hollywood type.

However, she stopped short of calling him her boyfriend as she said: ‘I wouldn’t say I’ve got a new man.’

‘I’m just happy. I have my kids. I’m in my new house. I’m working,’ Zolciak gushed.

Zolciak and ex Biermann finally sold their Georgia mansion last month for $2.75 million — days before he would file for divorce for a third time.

Amid her and Biermann’s ugly split, Zolciak fueled romance rumors with Chet.

She and the 34-year-old rapper sparked romance rumors back in July after flirting outrageously with one another while starring on the MTV reality show The Surreal Life.

Their flirting caught the attention of their housemates and was caught on camera throughout the series before culminating in a suggestive exchange in one episode during a group dinner on a houseboat in Colombia.

‘I wanna bond with you more, Kim,’ Chet said as Kim smiled at him during the episode. He added: ‘I’ve been wanting to come holler at you and kick it with you ’cause like you’re cool as f***.’

‘Oh, I’m coming to you tonight. That’s what I decided earlier. So you must’ve felt that,’ Kim told Chet.

Hanks told Page Six at the time that ‘meeting Kim Zolciak’ was ‘one of the best moments of my life.’

However, he insisted that he and Zolicak were just ‘really good friends’ while wishing her ‘the best’ amid her divorce.

Last October, Zolciak was asked about romance rumors with Chet, and she simply just called him a ‘nice guy,’ DailyMail.com exclusively revealed.

Just one month later, Zolciak and Hanks looked very cozy as they attended their pal Jelly Roll’s concert in November.

Zolciak took to Instagram to share selfies and videos from her fun-filled night as fans got a glimpse of the duo looking loved up.

Zolciak and Hanks shared VIP room snaps and were hosted by the country star and his wife Alyssa DeFord, also known as ‘Bunnie XO.’ The love birds were also joined  by their pal Jenny Doyle.

Kim penned in the caption: ‘Had the best time with @jellyroll615 and his beautiful wifey @xomgitsbunnie so fun much with @chethanx @jennydoyle1111.

‘One of my absolute favorite concerts and everyone that was/is part of this mᴀssive operation is beyond kind. There are no words for the happiness and joy that surrounded us all that night. I saw a whole lot of sparkle in the crowd.’

Since their November concert meet-up, Zolciak and Hanks haven’t been spotted together publicly nor have they posted about one another.

Zolciak’s dating news comes just days after she made rare remarks about her divorce from Biermann.

She broke down in tears while on stage with Kristin Cavallari over the weekend during the Atlanta stop of Cavallari’s Let’s Be Honest tour.

Insiders told TMZ the women stayed on the subject of Zolciak’s divorce for about 20 minutes, during which the reality TV star got visibly teary-eyed. 

It was also said that Kim labeled her 39-year-old ex a narcissist and clapped back at his claim that she has a gambling problem, noting she never patronized a casino without him. 

Kim also addressed cameras she’s said Biermann set up throughout their marital home to spy on her, sharing she is now ‘finally free.’

TMZ reported in February that Zolciak wants medical professionals to determine if the former Atlanta Falcons player has CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy), a degenerative brain disease that afflicts many long-term football players.

In documents filed in family court, she stated she believes her ex is battling the effects of the disease and asked the court to appoint healthcare workers to examine her estranged spouse. 

Zolciak claimed Biermann often has expletive-laden outbursts in the presence of their four underage children.

Additionally, the reality television personality has accused her spouse of ‘extreme Sєxual promiscuity.’

Elsewhere in the court filing, Zolciak claimed Kroy has tried to keep their children from contacting her, revealing he has ᴀssumed control of their cell phones.

For his part, in 2023 Biermann also asked that his wife undergo a psychological evaluation, accusing her of having a gambling problem. 

Their split was initially announced in May 2023, and has dragged on for nearly two years as the couple reconciled and broken up again. 

In February the exes sold their Georgia home for $2.5 million, after originally attempting to sell it for $6 million.

They bought the seven-bedroom, 11-bathroom property in 2012 for $880,000.
