Season 5 of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City has introduced us to SLC’s resident celebrity-adjacent lothario, Jared Osmond – all thanks to Britani Bateman.
Basically, all we’ve learned about Britani so far is that her on/off relationship with Jared swings back and forth faster than the head of a Whitney Rose bobble.
Britani recently gave an update on her and Jared’s status. Unsurprisingly, they’re off right now. Britani says it’s because she discovered he’s been doing shady phone business. Again. Allegedly.
Britani Bateman says she and Jared Osmond have been broken up for months
During last night’s episode of RHOSLC, Jared crashed Angie Katsanevas’ 25th anniversary “Mafia Wives” themed party. It was pretty awkward since Britani was there and had brought a guy named Aaron as her date.
On the heels of that, Britani talked about where she and Jared stand today on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City After Show. She says they’ve been broken up for a couple of months now since she found out that Jared was perhaps doing more Jared stuff. Shocker!
She shared, “We’ve been broken up for about three months. Again, I found shady stuff going on behind my back and I broke up with him. What was it this time? He was on a dating app and wouldn’t show me his phone.”
Lisa Barlow, who was sitting next to Britani also shared an encounter she had with Jared that gave her pause.
Lisa explained, “You can be in love with someone or love someone, but they’re totally different. So I’m like, ‘Do you love Britani? Are you in love with Britani?'”
Lisa found his response telling. “He said he loves you. And I go, ‘But are you in love with her?’ Because that’s a really big thing. It’s a distinction. And I can’t remember what the final [answer] was, but I just didn’t like him even more.”
Lisa also mentioned an instance where Jared and Britani came to the opening of her lounge together. However, Lisa says he acted pretty single that night.
Britani concluded, “He’s just a flirt king. He’s a player.”
Britani has moved on from Jared – at the moment
Apparently, Britani’s spreadsheet-deep in dates now that she and “kind of a douchebag” Jared are over.
She revealed, “Back then, my self-esteem was just in the toilet. And so I was like, ‘Well, fine. I’m not the fish you want to catch? I’m not good enough for you?’ Well, boom, I’m gonna get on social and see what I can do. Boom, 10,000 hits on Bumble. Boom, 15,000 on Tinder. And I’m gonna have my pick.”
She continued, “I didn’t need to have 10 people on rotation or whatever, but I did. I would stack them like three dates a night just for efficiency… And I kept track of them on a spreadsheet…I have my list of what I’m looking for — and do they check this box? And then I would narrow it down.”
Whew. She must be exhausted. Probably not as exhausted as Mary Cosby is every time Britani mentions Jared, though!
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City continues Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
