'RHOA' Star Riley Burruss Has A Boyfriend — What We Know About Mystery Man Oliver Blank
She seems happy and in love!
Instagram Who is Riley Burruss' boyfriend? The Real Housewives of Atlanta star has, seemingly, grown up before our very eyes. Now that she's 17 years old, she's all but an adult, with a life and aspirations of her own.
And though her mother, Kandi, is the better-known "star" of the Atlanta franchise of the Real Housewives monolith, Riley is fast becoming a celebrity in her own right.
Recently, the younger Burruss took to social media to insinuate that she'd gotten herself a boyfriend — and her boyfriend is a white man, besides! Let's look at what we know about this "mystery man."
1. Who is Riley Burruss' boyfriend? His name is Oliver Blank.
Burruss recently took to Instagram to share a photo of herself with a man that many believe is her boyfriend. In the photo — which you can see below — she posted the caption "2020 what’s good? #nickiminajxfendi #fendi #fendixnickiminaj"
Almost immediately, fans flooded her comments with demands of knowing who he was, asking for his Instagram handle, and wishing her all the best in 2020 and beyond.
2. He's a talent agent.
According to his Instagram, Blank works with a talent agency called The People Store, which is based in Atlanta. The agency "places talent in productions associated with acting, voiceover, and entertainment," per its Instagram page, and boasts a variety of independent talent on its roster.
Further, according to Blank's Instagram, he seems to love dogs (yes!), and loves to travel, as well.
3. Blank is the grandson of the founder of Home Depot.
Don't let Blank's casual appearance fool you — he's an heir to a multi-million dollar fortune. Blank's grandfather is Home Depot founder Arthur Blank; his father, Kenny, is the elder Blank's son from his first marriage to Diana Blank.
Blank's father is also involved in the arts, and heads up Atlanta's largest Jewish festival. The young heir to the Home Depot fortune also has an older sister named Emily, and she, too, is featured on his Instagram page.
4. Burruss recently made headlines for being a "good big sister."
Burruss' mother, Kandi, recently welcomed her daughter Blaze via surrogate. In 2016, Kandi gave birth to her and husband Todd Tucker's first child, a son named Ace. Burruss is the product of her mother's relationship with producer Russell Spencer.
But Burruss was all smiles as she welcomed Blaze into the world, cheering on both her mother and her new baby sister as she welcomed Blaze into "the girl's club" on some well-thought-out Instagram posts with her new baby sister.
5. Burruss also has big plans for college.
Don't think Burruss is just relying on her Real Housewives fame for clout. In November 2019, her mother revealed that her daughter submitted her application to her "dream school" but didn't disclose which school, in particular, she was applying to.
And, like a good college student, Burruss is also getting involved in various social justice causes, including promoting feminist causes with the legendary Jane Fonda. So, she has a bright future ahead of her regardless!
6. Are Riley Burruss and Oliver Blank dating?
Neither Burruss nor Blank has confirmed their dating status — most of the comments are just speculation. However, we will definitely keep you posted if she does, in fact, announce that she's dating Blank — or if she reveals she's dating someone entirely different altogether!
