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.”<\/p>\n

As explained on RHOA<\/a>, 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.”<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Kelli Potter reveals how long she’s been dating Jarvis<\/p>\n

During a meetup with her mom, Cara, and her grandmother, who’s also the namesake of her Nana’s Chicken and Waffles<\/a> 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.”<\/p>\n

In a confessional, she added, “Jarvis and I have been officially dating for a year.”<\/p>\n

Why Kelli Potter refers to her boyfriend as Jarvis<\/p>\n

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?”<\/p>\n

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.”<\/p>\n

Jarvis, meanwhile, replied, “That’s fine,” and Kelli told him, “OK, Tony. We’ll call you back, Tony.”<\/p>\n

How Kelli Potter met her boyfriend, Jarvis<\/p>\n

It wasn’t exactly love at first sight when Kelli met Jarvis at an Atlanta Hawks NBA game, however.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

Kelli Potter’s family share their thoughts on Jarvis<\/p>\n

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.”<\/p>\n

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.”<\/p>\n

Where Kelli Potter stands with her ex-husband today<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the episode, Kelli also discussed some emotional and financial challenges<\/a> she was navigating with her ex-husband, Chuvalo “Mark” Ferrell<\/a>, following their 2025 divorce<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As Kelli, more recently, shared with BravoTV.com, she and Mark are still “working on” their co-parenting dynamic<\/a> when it comes to their three children, Chance, Chasiti, and Chelsi. (Kelli’s eldest daughter, Chloe, is from a previous relationship.)<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

As she continues to navigate challenges on RHOA Season 17, get more exclusive updates on what Kelli’s daughters are up to today<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
