Sorry Kathryn! Thomas Ravenel Dating Sexy LA Nurse Amid Custody Battle With Ex
Thomas Ravenel may have patched up his relationship with Kathryn Dennis, but they’re definitely not back together! RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal that the Southern Charm star has been dating a California-based nurse, and has all the details on their relationship!
An insider revealed to RadarOnline.com that Ravenel, 54, has been spending time with Ashley Jacobs, a Santa Barbara, Calif. based hospice nurse, since May. They met at a restaurant bar during a Cinco de Mayo celebration in the 32-year-old’s hometown.
Despite trying to woo Landon Clements on Southern Charm, the reality star was by himself the night that they met. Jacobs and Ravenel quickly began talking, and have stayed in touch since.
But, their relationship isn’t too serious yet!
“He can date whoever he wants and she can date whoever she wants,” the insider said. “They’re not exclusive but they do care about each other.”
“It’s hard to be in an exclusive relationship with someone that you just met that lives across the country,” the insider noted.

“She knows Thomas’ playboy reputation, but she’s not jealous,” the insider added. “She’s secure and independent.”
Still, Ravenel invited Jacobs to visit him in Charleston, S.C., and she briefly got to meet Kensie, 3, and St. Julien, 1.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Ravenel is currently in the midst of a bitter custody battle with Dennis, 24, over the tots.
Most recently, Dennis accused Ravenel of “alienating” her from their kids, and using mushrooms and cocaine in front of them.
Ravenel has been open about his struggle to find love, telling PEOPLE: “I want a woman who feels privileged to be with me because they know me and they know my character and they know that I tell the truth and I’m honest. In this quest, given my checkered past, I think it’s going to take a special woman who’s going to be able to accept that…I think I deserve no less.”
