Listen up, folks! Patricia Altschul is here to answer the question that may have been on your mind since we were first introduced to Michael the Butler: Has anything romantic ever happened between the Southern Charm matriarch and her right-hand man?
She revealed all on Wednesday's Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. "Honey, this is a professional relationship. It is between employer and employee and we respect and admire each other. But absolutely not. Certainly not," she confirmed.
With that all cleared up, we do have to say that the relationship between Patricia and Michael is endearing. And having him around the house certainly is a comfort to Patricia's son, Whitney Sudler-Smith, who splits his time between Charleston and Los Angeles.
"Michael, he's devoted to mom," he told The Daily Dish last year. "He's the nicest guy in the world. He's invaluable to my mom because he helps with her coterie of animals."
