#RHOA: Who is Kelli Potter's boyfriend, "Jarvis"?
After revealing her not-so-new romance during Season 17, Episode 8, Kelli sat down with BravoTV.com with some exclusive updates on her relationship. "I'm still dating Jarvis," she spilled in her May 2026 interview. "Jarvis is doing amazing. He actually just flew in today. Shoutout to Jarvis. That's my man, my man, my man."
As explained on RHOA, Jarvis is not Kelli's boyfriend's real name, but rather a Marvel-inspired alter ego. And, yes, her lips are still sealed. Kelli's reason for all the secrecy? "Nobody needs to see him but me. Definitely protecting my peace," she explained. "He makes me happy."
Even if basic identifying details remain scarce, Kelli did offer more insight into her relationship on the show. Read on to find out everything she shared about Jarvis on RHOA.
During a meetup with her mom, Cara, and her grandmother, who's also the namesake of her Nana's Chicken and Waffles restaurant, Kelli said, "I'm just in a space where I am trying to continuously grow and evolve. And, you know, I am dating someone. ... I mean, you know who it is. It's, you know, Jarvis."
In a confessional, she added, "Jarvis and I have been officially dating for a year."
The Georgia peaches are back, as The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 17 is officially underway, with new episodes airing Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo and streaming the next day on Peacock.
The returning RHOA Season 17 cast members include Porsha Williams, Phaedra Parks, Drew Sidora, Shamea Morton Mwangi, Angela Oakley, and Kelli Ferrell, along with newcomers Pinky Cole and K. Michelle. The women are joined by friend Cynthia Bailey.
Things get spicy in the ATL, as Porsha juggles two potential new love interests. Viewers can also expect changes in friendships, major relationship news, tea spilling, and shade throwing.
Why Kelli Potter refers to her boyfriend as Jarvis
When a producer chimed in to ask if Jarvis was an "alias," Kelli confirmed that to be the case. Amid questions about the origin of said alias, she called her man and asked him on speakerphone, "Babe, so where does the name Jarvis come from?"
He simply answered, "Iron Man," prompting a producer to weigh in, "I think we should call him Tony Stark because Tony Stark had big pockets."
Jarvis, meanwhile, replied, "That's fine," and Kelli told him, "OK, Tony. We'll call you back, Tony."
How Kelli Potter met her boyfriend, Jarvis
It wasn't exactly love at first sight when Kelli met Jarvis at an Atlanta Hawks NBA game, however. "I actually wasn't interested," Kelli added in RHOA's May 24 episode. "We just talked briefly, and we exchanged numbers. Ever since then, you know, Tony Stark has been doing his thing."
During their mini family meeting, Kelli's mother remarked, "Jarvis has brought you joy, though. I can say that." That's when Kelli reiterated, "Jarvis has brought me a lot of joy."
When she also confirmed that he has "a W-2 form," i.e., a job, her mom added, "I'm so happy for you," while Nana had a much more blunt assessment. "You stepped up," she declared, eliciting laughter from her daughter and granddaughter. "You know how I feel."
Elsewhere in the episode, Kelli also discussed some emotional and financial challenges she was navigating with her ex-husband, Chuvalo "Mark" Ferrell, following their 2025 divorce.
As Kelli, more recently, shared with BravoTV.com, she and Mark are still "working on" their co-parenting dynamic when it comes to their three children, Chance, Chasiti, and Chelsi. (Kelli's eldest daughter, Chloe, is from a previous relationship.)
"We still have some court issues that are going on," she stated. "And hopefully, God willing, my girls still talk to him all the time. And, hopefully, we will come to some clarity in regards to when they will see him."

‘Michael’ Nears $800 Million Mark at the Global Box Office, Even Closer to Becoming Highest-Grossing Music Biopic of All Time
Michael continues to be a global phenomenon. The Michael Jackson biopic has now brought in over $788 million at the global box office as of this weekend, nearing the $800 million mark, per Variety.
As of this past weekend, Michael brought in $28.5 million overseas, grossing $468 million overseas and $319 million domestically at this point.
That number still comes without Japan’s tally, as the movie won’t open there until June 12.
With that market counted, it’s possible that the movie will surpass 2018’s Bohemian Rhapsody, which tapped out at $911 million, and become the highest-grossing music biopic of all time.
Michael has already zoomed past the third highest-grossing music biopic, 2022’s Elvis, which grossed over $288 million worldwide.
The film arrived in theaters on April 24, and was directed by Antoine Fuqua. It stars Jaafar Jackson, Nia Long, Laura Harrier, Juliano Krue Valdi, Miles Teller, and Colman Domingo.
Here’s a synopsis: “Michael is the cinematic portrayal of the life and legacy of one of the most influential artists the world has ever known. The film tells the story of Michael Jackson’s life beyond the music, tracing his journey from the discovery of his extraordinary talent as the lead of the Jackson Five, to the visionary artist whose creative ambition fueled a relentless pursuit to become the biggest entertainer in the world. Highlighting both his life off-stage and some of the most iconic performances from his early solo career, the film gives audiences a front-row seat to Michael Jackson as never before. This is where his story begins.”
A sequel to the smash-hit movie is in the works and Lionsgate’s main executive has revealed some details about what fans can expect.
The first movie in the Michael franchise charts the beginning of his career as a child singer in The Jackson 5 and eventually launching a solo career, much to the dismay of his father. The movie ends just as he is reaching the height of his career and there’s lots of his life that can still be explored.

Stevie J Says He Cut Off Friends Who Didn’t Support Diddy During Trial
Stevie J says the past year changed the way he views loyalty and friendship following Sean Combs’s criminal trial.
During a recent appearance on Flex 98.5, the producer reflected on standing beside Diddy while many others distanced themselves from the Bad Boy mogul.
“The last year has been quite a ride for me,” Stevie J said. “I was the only one holding my homie down before he went to jail.”
The longtime producer, who rose to prominence as a member of Diddy’s Hitmen production team, said the experience revealed who was truly in his corner. According to Stevie J, the situation ultimately led him to walk away from several friendships.
“After seeing who really be truly in your corner, and who’s rocking witchu and all that, I left a whole bunch of fake n***as,” he said, adding that he is now focused primarily on family.

Queen Latifah Is Sharing Her Family On Her Terms: 'I Don't Need To Say Everything About My Private Life'
Queen Latifah seems to be in a really happy place in her life, and her family is a big part of that. That’s probably why the Oscar nominee is so protective of them and her personal business. But more and more, Latifah, has decided to share a little bit more of a glimpse into her life, stepping out publicly with her partner Eboni Nichols and her son, Rebel. And it all started when she publicly acknowledged them while accepting her Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2021 BET Awards, saying, “Eboni, my love. Rebel, my love,” before adding, “Happy Pride.”
When Angie Martinez asked her about this during an appearance on her Angie Martinez IRL Podcast, where she called Eboni “your wife,” Latifah joked, “It was the damn Pride, we in LA!”
But then the star got real. “I was getting a Lifetime Achievement Award, and I didn’t want to leave out the people who were part of the lifetime,” she said. “That’s about it. It’s really that simple. It’s not more complicated than that. And it’s funny because it’s not always that deep.”
She continued, bemoaning the obsession people have with knowing others’ personal lives.
“People are just so fascinated about people’s private lives. Like so fascinated by what you’re doing with your private life. Why? Is it because you’re curious, is it because you’re intrigued?” she asked.
For Latifah, that fascination has moved her to be private.
“I mind my business. It’s ok to mind your business and handle your business,” she said. “I realize that a lot of people like talking about other people’s business. Even before it was all the pages and everything, when it was like The National Enquirer, people would bring those things to me or bring gossip to people near me and around me. And I’m like, what is the point of that? Why are you telling me this? What do you think you’re doing by telling me that you read something about me somewhere? Then I gotta look at the person who’s bringing me the message. What do you get out of this? Do you care about me?”
She continued, “There’s nothing positive that’s going to come from me having this knowledge right now. So really this is for you, this is not for me. So I told everybody around me, “Don’t bring that sh-t to me. If you read it, you read it…I don’t what to hear that sh-t. Keep it where you at.” So some of it and some of my ability to keep things to myself is me also respecting other people’s privacy. I know a lot about a lot of different people, but it’s not really my place for me to share their business necessarily because many of them, like myself, we’re all growing up. We’re not perfect and I make mistakes, and other people make mistakes too.”
But Latifah is clear that she’s not hiding anything. When she is ready to make a statement, whether verbally or with her family by her side, there’s no mistaking the message.
“When I need to say something about something I’m clear about it…But I don’t have to say everything about everything, and I don’t need to say everything about my private life because it’s my private life, and I love the people that are in my life,” she said. “I talk to the people I know who actually care about me. I don’t go to people who are strangers who don’t necessarily have my best interest at heart. I talk to the people who actually care about me and try to navigate my life with them, and they also try to do the same with me.”
Latifah and Nichols have been linked since about 2013. They welcomed son Rebel in 2019.
When Angie Martinez asked her about this during an appearance on her Angie Martinez IRL Podcast, where she called Eboni “your wife,” Latifah joked, “It was the damn Pride, we in LA!”

Ray J Knocked Out By Supa Hot Fire During Struggle MMA Debut At ‘Brand Risk 14’ Event
Ray J might want to stay off social media for a while after he was embarrassed in an amateur MMA fight at Brand Risk 14.
The event is run by Adin Ross’s Brand Risk Promotions, which, according to the website, promises to deliver “world-class boxing events where your favorite content creators step into the ring for epic creator fights.”
The product in the ring is far from that description, and this match between Brandy’s brother, aka Ray J, and Supa Hot Fire, real name DeWayne Stevenson, is a clear example of that.
The singer, amateur porn star, turned reality television personality started strong in the first round of his first foray in MMA, but suffered a devastating and embarrassing knockout in the second round.
Per Yahoo Sports:
Norwood came out strong, charging across the ring and outworking Stevenson, who didn’t throw a punch in the opening round. Stevenson, who has five previous fights in Brand Risk, ran away and seemed to be simply playing around, while the commentary team questioned what was happening. But in the second round, Stevenson turned it on, lighting Norwood up with combinations and knocking him senseless less than 30 seconds into the round.
Following the knockout, Ray J was furious with Supa Hot Fire, telling him he “thought they had a plan” and that they lost money, giving the impression that the fight was supposed to be staged.
Social Media Is Pulling No Punches With The Jokes
The knockout in the ring isn’t the only gut punch Ray J is feeling; social media is piling on with the jokes.
“One wish turned into one hit,” one social media user wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
Another person wrote, “Ray J Had The Wrong Number.”
We think Ray J should stay out of the boxing ring/octagon forever following that performance.

K. Michelle Open To Verzuz Battle And Hints At Tamar Braxton Rivalry
During a recent appearance on Shannon Sharpe's Club Shay Shay, K. Michelle openly addressed the possibility of participating in a Verzuz battle. The singer, who is also a new cast member on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, revealed that she is definitely open to the idea and already has a potential opponent in mind.
Although she did not explicitly name Tamar Braxton, K. Michelle referred to her using the nickname "Muppet," a term Braxton had mentioned during her time on the daytime talk show The Real. When Sharpe seemed unsure about the reference, K. Michelle offered additional hints, mentioning specific details such as Braunxton’s teeth and an alleged situation involving a married man.
The exchange comes in the wake of recent headlines involving K. Michelle and Love & Hip Hop star Mendeecees Harris, who is married to Yandy Smith. Tamar Braxton strongly denied any wrongdoing related to those rumors. It was later clarified that Tamar and Harris had collaborated on a music video, and both called for public apologies after being labeled "homewreckers."
This latest interaction between K. Michelle and Tamar Braxton adds fuel to the ongoing public tension between the two singers. Fans are left wondering if a Verzuz showdown between them could happen in the near future.

This latest interaction between K. Michelle and Tamar Braxton adds fuel to the ongoing public tension between the two singers. Fans are left wondering if a Verzuz showdown between them could happen in the near future.

Lisa Leslie To Be Honored With Statue Outside of Crypto.com Arena
WNBA legend Lisa Leslie will be receiving a statue outside of the Crypto.com Arena this September, and she gave the WNBA Tip-Off crew a preview of what it will look like.
Leslie stood on top of a stand and posed in a variety of ways to showcase what her statue would consist of. Whether it’s her crossover or a selfie-style pose, it’s clear that however she stands will capture what she’s accomplished in a unique fashion.
The Los Angeles Sparks announced that she would get a statue at the Star Plaza at the Crypto.com Arena earlier this month. In a statement, Leslie expressed her excitement for the statue that’ll recognize her profound impact on the game of basketball for women.
“To be cemented in Los Angeles, the city that raised me, I couldn’t be more proud to be a role model forever!” she said. “God has blessed me, and I have truly given my all to this sport and our community. I am thankful to my coaches, teammates, incredible fans, and, most importantly, my family and friends. As the saying goes, ‘The wolf is only as strong as the pack,’ and I’ve been fortunate to have an amazing pack supporting me every step of the way.”
Earvin “Magic” Johnson also released a statement about the statue.
"I’ve known Lisa for nearly three decades and believe that she is beyond deserving of this incredible honor. She was the driving force behind bringing back-to-back championships to the Los Angeles Sparks franchise in 2000 and 2001, and Lisa’s hard work and commitment have made her one of the best to ever play the game,” he said.
“Lisa’s legacy isn’t just measured by championships and accolades, though; it’s defined by the doors she opened and the standard she set for generations to come,” he added. “More than an athlete, she is a pioneer, a cultural icon and a force who elevated women’s basketball to new heights. This statue celebrates her excellence, her leadership and the future she helped create, and it ensures her impact will forever be part of the fabric of this city.”
Leslie remains the all-time leader in points, rebounds, free throws, blocks, field goals, offensive rebounds, defensive rebounds, Defensive Win Shares, minutes, and games for the Sparks. She’s also a two-time WNBA champion who ranks in the top 15 in league history in categories like double-doubles, defensive rebounds, and scoring.

Lizzo Slams Accusations of ‘Sh-t Talking’ Taylor Swift
Lizzo is reacting to a comment saying she “sh-t” talked about Taylor Swift. The 38-year-old rapper and singer returned to Twitter/X recently, and in a post over the weekend, slammed accusations of talking down about the “Opalite” singer.
On Friday (May 22), Lizzo responded to a tweet comparing the numbers of her My Face Hurts from Smiling mixtape and Taylor‘s The Life of a Showgirl album combined making up over 4 million streams/sales, while Drake‘s three new albums only had nearly 700k.
She asked if someone could explain what that meant, and a user replied, “it means all that sh-t talking you did about Tay finally caught up to you”
Lizzo then quote tweeted the comment, writing, “Are you well? First of all I have never talked sh-t about Taylor Swift— also while we on the subject I’ve never talked sh-t about any artist. Just because I mention an artist by name does not mean I’m talking shit— grow tf up pls”
Previously, Lizzo has actually praised Taylor, and even compared herself to the singer about how they both draw from their personal lives for their music.
“I’m Black Taylor Swift,” she joked on The Breakfast Club radio show in 2022. “I really am, I’m trifling.”
“I don’t talk too badly about [an ex’s] character, it’s just what he do,” Lizzo said. “I’ll be like, ‘He’s a good person, but this is what he did. Am I tripping?’ They’d be like, ‘You’re not tripping, you’re not tripping.”

90 Day Fiancé’s Nikki Exotika (Xtravaganza) Undergoes Triple Bypass Heart Surgery
Nikki Exotika is recovering from triple bypass heart surgery.
The 50-year-old 90 Day Fiancé reality TV star recently underwent a very serious surgery, and she and her mother Myrna (“Mama Myrna”) are now asking for help via GoFundMe amid her recovery.
“Hello everyone, this is @mamamyrna90day. I just wanted to update everyone on her medical condition,” her mother wrote in a video posted to her Instagram.
“Thank you all for being patient. I set up a @gofundme for her. We appreciate any help with her recovery gofundme.com/u/mamamyrna-nikki. Link in bio. Love you and bless you all?
Nikki appeared on Season 10 of TLC’s hit show, where she was featured going to Moldova in 2023 to meet with her boyfriend, Justin Shutencov. She was candid on the show about her experience as a transgender woman, and he eventually broke up with her via text.
She is a member of the House of Xtravaganza, one of the major houses on the New York City ballroom scene.
Her mother also shared the full story behind the surgery on the GoFundMe page.
Hello, my name is Myrna, though many people know me as Mama Myrna from 90 Day Fiancé Season 10.
I am creating this fundraiser for my daughter, Nicole, also known as “Nikki Exotika,” who is undergoing emergency triple bypass heart surgery tomorrow morning.
For quite some time, Nicole had been experiencing chest pain, heartburn, shortness of breath, and difficulty while walking and exercising. She visited multiple doctors trying to figure out what was wrong. Back in October, she first went to her primary care physician because she was having breathing issues. In November, she saw a cardiologist and completed extensive testing, including an EKG, echocardiogram, and stress test. After all of that, she was told her heart was healthy and given a clean bill of health.
As many of you know, Nicole is an entertainer and performer. While preparing for her upcoming summer tour, she continued complaining of chest pain, extreme fatigue, and becoming winded during rehearsals and performances. She thought perhaps she was just getting older and not able to keep up the way she once did.
During one of her performances, Nicole nearly collapsed on stage. I was there supporting her and knew something was seriously wrong.
A few days ago, while on her way back to the cardiologist, Nicole suffered a mild heart attack. She was rushed to the emergency room, where bloodwork revealed highly elevated troponin levels. She was immediately admitted to the hospital.
She was first taken to Palisades Medical Center and later transferred to Hackensack Medical Center, where she has remained under observation in the ICU.
Doctors performed an angiogram and discovered that her arteries were severely calcified and blocked. Unfortunately, they were unable to perform an angioplasty or place stents because the blockages were too extensive. Nicole now requires triple bypass surgery, where surgeons will reroute blood flow around the blocked arteries using healthy blood vessels.
As a mother, I never imagined I would be facing something like this with my child. My husband and I recently retired and moved to Florida, and I flew back immediately to be by Nicole’s side during this life-changing surgery and recovery.
Nicole has signed power of attorney over to me so I can help manage things for her while she heals. This is a major surgery with a long and difficult recovery ahead.
Thank God Nicole has good health insurance to cover this procedure, so we are not asking for help with her medical bills! We are raising funds to help cover Nicole’s rent, monthly bills, living expenses, and recovery needs while she is unable to work and get back on her feet.
Nicole has received so much love and support from friends, fans, and followers all over the world, and our family is incredibly grateful.
Any contribution—big or small—would mean the world to us during this difficult time.
Thank you all so much for your prayers, support, and generosity.
God bless,
Mama Myrna
