Southern Charm's Salley Carson says she slid into Cooper DeJean's DMs

Salley Carson, 31, said on the "Not Skinny But Not Fat" podcast that she "just slid into Cooper DeJean’s [DMs]," calling him a "football player for the Eagles" and a "little 22-year-old." She added that DeJean, 23, is "dating, or not dating, casually seeing a 43-year-old right now," a reference to Nikki Bella.

Carson said she follows DeJean on Instagram, has "liked" his pictures and even sent him an article asking, "Are you dating her?" She recounted that they had been liking each other’s posts, that she has his number, and that after she DMed him "he DM'd me back" quickly.

The two have not met in person, and Carson said she recently told him "happy birthday." Joking about the situation, Carson said Nikki Bella "is going to beat my ass" if they are dating, and the host reassured her not to worry.
