Venita Aspen wasn't one of the Southern Charm-ers who popped up on the debut season of Southern Hospitality, but she's still managed to catch the eye of one of Republic's VIP Hosts: Bradley Carter.

The fashion influencer posted a video of her modeling a Valentine's Day-inspired look — featuring a pink cable-knit sweater with a heart cutout, pink heart-shaped sunglasses, a white tennis skirt, and pink platform heels, which she pulled together with a pink-and-white houndstooth purse — in front of a convertible on Instagram on February 2. 

"Pretty in Pink," she captioned the video.

The Charleston native's festive outfit would make anyone think of Cupid, and it certainly got Bradley's attention.

"Where do I apply to be your Valentine[?]" he wrote in the comments section of Venita's Instagram post.

The Southern Charm cast member had a cheeky response to the personal trainer. "[At Republic] after 9," she responded, along with the smiling face with open mouth and cold sweat emoji.

As the booked and busy singleton told The Daily Dish back in the summer of 2022, she is, in fact, looking for love — if the right person comes around.

"My mom is really goal-oriented and career-focused," Venita explained. "And I feel like, right now, I'm taking that by storm because of her. But at some point, I do know that I need to slow down and, you know, try and see if there's someone out there that fits my mold... And I'll know when I see him, OK. I'll know when I see him. Hopefully, it's tomorrow."

While it doesn't appear as if Venita found Mr. Right back then, perhaps Bradley could be the one who fits her mold.
