BravoCon 2025 delivered plenty of drama, sparkle, and sequins, but nothing stole the show quite like the unexpectedly adorable romance between Below Deck’s Fraser Olender and actor-comedian Matt Rogers.
The pair arrived at the event looking relaxed, coordinated, and absolutely smitten in that “new boyfriend, who dis” kind of way that LGBTQ+ fans instantly recognize and love.
The real surprise came when Andy Cohen casually confirmed on his SiriusXM show that the two are, in fact, dating.
“They are dating,” he said, sending Bravo fans into an immediate spiral of excitement, confusion, and screenshotting.
Andy added that Fraser, 33, and Matt, 35, were together throughout the BravoCon weekend in Las Vegas, making appearances, taking pictures, and generally radiating chemistry loud enough to shake the slot machines at Caesars Palace.
Fraser even shared a red carpet photo of the two of them, which fans immediately interpreted as their soft-launch-until-it-wasn’t.
But the sweetest moment of the weekend came when Fraser revealed that he had been rushed to the ER after experiencing trouble breathing.
In a long Instagram caption, he explained that a “very special” person stayed with him until five in the morning, making sure he was okay.
He didn’t name names, but the internet connected the dots faster than you can say “Chief Stew with a mystery man.”
Matt later appeared in Fraser’s comments calling him “healthy like an ox, unbreakable, hot, etc,” which is basically boyfriend poetry in 2025.
Their connection doesn’t seem to be brand new either, because earlier in November the pair were spotted attending Wicked: One Wonderful Night together, with Fraser enthusiastically describing the experience as “beyyyyyyonnnd,” which honestly tracks for a gay man hearing Ariana Grande hit Fiero-adjacent notes in person.
Fraser posted a full carousel from the night that included cozy photos, shoulder-leaning moments, and even a selfie with Melissa Lehman, because of course every budding gay romance needs at least one celebrity cameo.
Fans familiar with their previous love lives noticed that both men have had recent relationship shifts, with Fraser confirming he was single after Below Deck season twelve wrapped and Matt quietly moving on from earlier dating rumors.
Neither Fraser nor Matt has officially commented on the exact status of their relationship, but their smiles, closeness, and casual teasing paint a picture far clearer than any press release could.
The romance feels fresh, joyful, and wonderfully unforced, and LGBTQ+ viewers are more than ready for this new couple to keep thriving both on and off the red carpet.
For now, the Bravo universe has a brand-new love story, and honestly, it might be one of the sweetest plot twists of the entire year.
