Jared Osmond spoke of his relationship status with Britani Bateman and what keeps bringing them back together on Wednesday’s episode of Nick Viall‘s podcast.
As he also spoke of his and the 54-year-old Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star’s divorces from former partners, admitted that he has kids that don’t talk to him because of his relationship with Britani, and spoke of their monthly breakups, Jared, 55, shared where he and Britani stand today.
“When we broke up on the river, that was back in May, I believe, and we literally got back together right before Thanksgiving. Just recently,” Jared explained on the December 31 episode of The Viall Files. “And I’ve dated and gone out with really wonderful people and that kind of thing, but it’s always that feeling that I have. It’s always this feeling of — and people mock this on the show, but we’ve talked about it from the very beginning — Britani does this little thing with a heart. ‘You’re my best friend.’ She’s my best friend.”
“And so she’s been my best friend for all these years, and there’s just a closeness and kindness between us. We’re never mean to each other. It’s just moments of pause,” he continued, signaling the up-and-down nature of their relationship.
According to Jared, a lot of his back and forth with Britani is due to her getting “nervous.”
“My relationship with Britani has been tumultuous … We are both still going through divorces, which most people don’t know. We’re both divorced … but I’m six years in and she’s three,” he revealed.
While Jared has been divorced since 2022, he said that he and his ex-wife still hadn’t separated things and were “still going through all that.”
“It’s awful. I can’t talk much about it. But … it’s been hard. It’s been hard on our children,” he explained. “Britani’s story also is her relationship with her children. Well, I’ve had the same problem and the show has complicated it in a way I never suspected. I have children that don’t talk to me because I’m dating Britani. They literally are not talking to me because of the show.”
Continuing on about their drama-filled romance, Jared said that he and Britani “broke up every month” after joining the cast of RHOSLC.
“It looks terrible because it is,” he admitted. “[But] I’ve only broken up with her once. So do the math on that after two and a half years.”
Although Britani said from back stage that she and Jared had split “at least” 24 times, Jared denied it was that much.
“I can’t say we’ve broken up that many times, but we’ve hit the pause button because ‘this isn’t working’ or ‘I don’t like the show,’” he shared.
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season six airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
