‘Southern Hospitality’: Are Joe Bradley & Maddi Reese Still Together Ahead of Season 4?
Maddi Reese and Joe Bradley‘s romance took Southern Hospitality by storm during the show’s third season, which aired in 2025. After years of Bradley pining for Reese, she finally gave him a shot following her breakup with Trevor Stokes the previous year.
Now, the show is set to return for Season 4 on March 4, but a trailer has left fans with questions about Reese and Bradley’s status today. One clip in the sneak peek shows Reese telling her boyfriend, “I’m constantly checking your location. And you’re not at Republic. You’re out at the bar.”
Reese, who has been sober since 2014, also accuses Bradley of getting “drunk every single weekend,” with Bradley replying, “This is all in your brain, by the way. This is all in your head.” Perhaps the most shocking moment of all, though, is when Reese says to someone else, “I just want a break.”
We’re digging into where Bradley and Reese stand ahead of the Season 4 premiere. Scroll down for the latest.
Are Joe Bradley and Maddi Reese still together?
Yes, despite their issues in Season 4, which was filmed last summer, Reese and Bradley still appear to be together. They attended BravoCon together in November 2025 and spoke about the status of their relationship.
“We’re in a great place,” Reese told Entertainment Tonight. “I feel like with any other relationship, we have our disagreements or fights, but as long as we communicate through that and keep it moving and learn and grow through the situation, it just grows us stronger in the relationship.”
Bradley added, “The beautiful thing about our relationship is we were best friends for years before, and we always had something. I knew I wasn’t crazy.”
Did Joe Bradley and Maddi Reese get married?
During a February 2025 episode of Southern Hospitality, Bradley and Reese shocked fans when they got married at a chapel in Las Vegas. “Me and Maddi always joked about getting married in Vegas. Why not? It’s perfect,” Bradley explained.
However, Bradley later clarified that the wedding was not legally binding, so they’re not actually married. Rather, Bradley considered it a commitment ceremony to prove his love for Reese, which some of the pair’s costars found “obsessive.” But Reese seemed to be on the same page, admitting in a confessional, “In this moment, I’m looking into a glimpse of my future right now and it doesn’t look all that scary.”
During the ceremony with an Elvis impersonator, Bradley told Reese, “I will always love you, and I can’t wait until our actual wedding one day.”
Did Joe Bradley hook up with Luann de Lesseps?
Yes, before he was in a relationship with Reese, Bradley kissed Luann de Lesseps after they appeared on Watch What Happens Live together in January 2024.
While Bradley initially denied his costar TJ Dinch‘s claims that the two hooked up, he eventually admitted to kissing The Real Housewives of New York alum, who is 30 years his senior. Bradley said he didn’t come clean about the kiss at first because he was hanging out with Summer House star Danielle Olivera at the time, and he didn’t want to “hurt [her] feelings.”
“We were not technically boyfriend and girlfriend during that time, but I knew how it looked, and I don’t like when people’s feelings get hurt because of my actions,” he told Us Weekly. “And that’s kind of why I was trying to hide everything.”
Meanwhile, Reese has taken no issue with Bradley’s former fling. In fact, she called it “iconic” during a Season 3 episode of Southern Hospitality.
