“I’m actually not physical at all, which is funny,” Kim said. “I’m not. I know nobody believes that with [estranged husband Kroy Biermann’s] body, but you could be very attractive and if you’re stupid, I’m not interested.”
As for Chet, Kim said that she felt an immediate connection with him.
“Yes, he has a nice body, but it’s just kind of his vibe and what he puts off and his energy,” Kim shared. “He had made me a protein shake right away. I adore him. I’ve gotten to know him throughout The Surreal Life and even more recently and he’s great.”
Kim went on to say that when they first met, she had no idea who Chet was and had to ask 27-year-old Brielle Biermann to help her out.
“I did not know who he was when I walked into the house,” Kim admitted. “I stepped outside to FaceTime Brielle and I said, ‘There’s some guy named Chet here’ and she was like, ‘There’s only one Chet’ I’m like, ‘What do you mean?’ She’s like, ‘It’s Chet Hanks.’ Who’s Chet Hanks? She’s like, ‘Mom, Tom Hanks, his son.’”
In a separate interview with Us Weekly, Chet raved over Kim.
“Kim is just cool as hell,” he said. “She’s funny. She’s got that, like, attitude. I just knew that we would get along right from the jump and we did. Kim was awesome.”
The new season of Surreal Life: Villa of Secrets premieres on MTV at 9pm ET on Tuesday, July 23. Watch the trailer!
