She admitted that she didn’t know who Chet, 33, was before stepping into the house. ‘I had to call [daughter] Brielle and ask who Chet was,’ said Zolciak Biermann.

‘She’s like, ‘Mom, there’s only one Chet in the world,” added Kim. ‘I’m like, ‘Chet who?’ She’s like, ‘Hanks.”  

Zolciak-Biermann got cozy with the son of Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson in the first trailer for Surreal Life: Villa of Secrets, which dropped last month.

‘Kim is a MILF,’ Chet acknowledges in a confessional.

The promo also showed him and Zolciak-Biermann going off to a room together, where a black-and-white night vision camera catches him crawling into her bed.

‘That’s gonna look so terrible,’ she could be heard saying in her own confessional.

In the trailer, Kim told her co-stars about the end of her marriage to Kroy Biermann, with whom she tied the knot in 2011.

‘Kroy does not want me here,’ she said. ‘When I go home, I’m getting a divorce.

Kroy, 38, filed for divorce from Kim in August, despite the pair trying to work through their issues after she filed for divorce months earlier in May 2023.

The pair was involved in a shouting match in November, which prompted one of their younger kids to call the police to their home.

In body cam footage of the incident, Kroy can be heard calling Kim a ‘narcissist’ and accusing her of ‘[sleeping with] other men.’

She addressed the ‘hurtful allegations’ in a statement on Instagram, calling Kroy’s comments ‘obviously enraged’ and ‘untrue.’

‘I vehemently deny any allegation that I have been unfaithful to Kroy at any point in our 12-year marriage,’ she continued. ‘Any claim to the contrary is downright false, baseless, and slanderous.’

Kim continued, ‘I have tried not to speak on these hurtful allegations, but I am at a breaking point with this and I will not stay silent when my character is being assassinated.’
