Jared Osmond Publicly Declared Britani Bateman His “Girlfriend”

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City‘s Britani Bateman may get her happy ending with Jared Osmond after all … or will she?

Britani won the hearts of many RHOSLC fans as of late. Her sudden spike in popularity makes Britani’s admirers worry that Jared FINALLY introducing Britani as his girlfriend is sketchy.

Jared’s post:

“When an angel comes into your life that brings you happiness, peace, and love, you hold on to them with both hands! Introducing my beautiful girlfriend, Britani Bateman ❤️.” He captioned the video, “Yes. Life is good with Britani by my side.”

Is Jared clinging to Britani’s newfound fame?

Several Bravo TV fans think Jared’s intentions may be nefarious, but many are rooting for the couple.

• You better treat her right. You’re too damn old to be playing games.
• Do you really love her or do you just love the attention that announcing this will give you both?
• Wonderful news! Now you treat her right and none of these silly breakups! Happy for you both. ❤️
• Wild to be that old making social media announcements lolllllll. It’s giving 7th grade.

Jared’s changed his tune since October:

Jared Osmond exposed the truth of his relationship with Britani Bateman. The member of the iconic Osmond Family took to social media to reveal Britani’s thirst for relevance as well as how she went ‘off script’ while filming RHOSLC.

“The fascinating part of Britani’s story is that she as so much drama for no reason,” began Jared.  “Truly, in an attempt to be relevant. If you want to know the truth on our history, I have never walked away from her. I’ve never broken up with her. I’ve always been steady. Spoiled her over the last year. Paid for everything and have been a true gentleman.”

“She is so managed from her past relationships that she makes me out to be the bad guy. She’s scared that I won’t put a ring on her finger an I just want to play. So, rather than just steadily stay with me and work through all of the dating issues that pop up, she runs like a scared child. I need to date a stable woman.”

On-camera charade?

“For the record,” continued Jared, “Britani has a job on the show because I decided to go on. I give her relevance; I give her a talking point.”

Allegedly Brittany “promised” Jared that she wouldn’t take their relationship to the cameras. Instead, they agreed to say they were “best friends.”

“I went against my better judgement and I filmed with her thinking that she would hold to that. She did not, obviously.” Jared noted, “I’ve stepped up to give her all that she has needed to make herself relevant on the show. What I got in return was a woman that dumped me and makes me look like a complete idiot by the time this is all done.”
