Kim Zolciak reacted to rumors of a romance with Chet Hanks after arriving at LAX airport on Wednesday following a trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, with daughter Brielle Biermann and her boyfriend, Billy Seidl.

As the Real Housewives of Atlanta star, 45, grabbed her bags and headed to an awaiting Uber, she and Brielle, 26, were questioned about her alleged feelings for Chet — and about her messy divorce from estranged husband Kroy Biermann, 38.

“I’m not discussing anything,” Kim told the Daily Mail on October 12 after being asked about her split.

But she did confirm that she and Kroy are still living together before noting that their “house is going on the market.”

As Kim and Brielle made their way to their Uber, Kim gushed over Brielle’s boyfriend, Billy, 23, a professional baseball player, saying, “He’s the best. He’s really strong,” and admitting to feeling an engagement was looming.

“He has to ask permission from Kroy,” she noted.

Meanwhile, as Brielle was questioned about her mom and Kroy’s ongoing divorce, she confessed to feeling that they could ultimately get back together, as they briefly did in June.

“Yeah,” she replied when asked if the couple could reconcile their marriage.

As for the rumors linking her mom to Chet, Brielle made it clear she was not a fan, saying, “We don’t know him,” and later proclaiming, “It’s [Kim] and Kroy till the end and that’s that.”

As RHOA fans may have heard, Kim and Chet were said to have struck up a potential romance with one another during filming on season eight of The Surreal Life in Colombia weeks ago.

“The Surreal Life was incredible. The Surreal Life was an incredible experience for everyone involved,” Kim said of her time in Colombia.

But when it came to rumors of a relationship with Chet, son of actor Tom Hanks, Kim asked, “Why would you guys even write that?”

Although Kim wouldn’t come right out and say if she did or didn’t have feelings for her co-star, she did admit, “He’s a nice guy.”

“I can’t imagine dating again. [But] I will I’m sure,” she added.
