We here at Bravo could be very irked by Kim's latest confession, but for the sake of true love we’re willing to let it slide. The Don't Be Tardy star admitted in an Associated Press interview that she hid her budding relationship with Kroy for months.

Whaaat?!

“I didn’t tell anybody in production I was dating Kroy,” she confessed. “I really wanted to protect him from it.” Kim’s subterfuge didn’t last long -- less than three months, in fact. Kim finally let the cat out of the bag when she brought the NFL defensive end as her date to Cynthia Bailey’s wedding.

Thankfully Kroy has stood up beautifully to the publicity onslaught that comes with dating our Kim. After all we’ve watched them fall in love, get hitched, and have two baby boys!

“If I didn’t feel like we were strong,” Kim explained. “I would never... put my marriage out there.” Aren’t we lucky they did?
