Bravo fans know the network doesn’t just deliver drama, shade, and unforgettable catchphrases. The network also consistently introduces us to some of reality TV’s most swoon-worthy stars. 2026 is here, and a handful of Bravo hunks are already dominating storylines, lighting up social media, and securing their status with fans. We are taking a look at five of these hunks who are already on our radar for the new year.
1. Craig Conover (‘Southern Charm’)
Craig Conover continues to show Bravo fans that he’s more than the laid-back law student fans first met years ago. Between “Southern Charm” and “Winter House,” Conover has turned into a huge star for Bravo.
Conover owns a pillow business called Sewing Down South. The business is a success and is expanding. While he is easy on the eyes, his personal growth arc has made him even more attractive to longtime viewers.
We will see more of Conover in 2026, as we have new episodes of “Southern Charm” coming. Because of that, he’ll remain a steady presence in Bravo’s leading-man lineup.
2. Carl Radke (‘Summer House’)
We have seen quite the transformation of Carl Radke over the years. It’s been one of the most compelling journeys on Bravo. Radke went from a party boy to someone now putting his sobriety first.
He has earned admiration from Bravo fans. His emotional honesty and willingness to show vulnerability are qualities that just add to his appeal.
While the show continues to evolve, Radke’s presence on the show brings maturity and heart to the cast.
3. Captain Jason Chambers (‘Below Deck Down Under’)
If you think Bravo hunks, you have to think of Captain Jason Chambers from “Below Deck Down Under.” Jason is a steady, calm leader, and often balances authority with approachability.
He earns respect from his crew and swoons from viewers. Captain Jason has a hands-on leadership style and genuine kindness that help set him apart in the “Below Deck” universe.
He’s often dubbed one of the best captains in the franchise, and he shows no signs of slowing down in 2026.
4. Austen Kroll (‘Southern Charm’)
Whether you love him or hate him, Austen Kroll definitely knows how to keep viewers talking. The “Southern Charm” has also mastered the art of being messy while still managing to charm fans with his self-awareness and humor.
Kroll is always making headlines for Bravo, whether it’s for his hookups or his friendships. Bravo thinks Kroll is going to be a huge star in 2026. Because of that, we should continue seeing headlines involving Kroll. Officials say he is both weirdly relatable and capable of stirring things up.
5. Mauricio Umansky (‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’)
The Bravo appeal for Mauricio Umansky is real. Umansky is rich. He has confidence and charisma. Those qualities immediately attract him to fans.
We have often seen Umansky on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” He is married to Kyle Richards, but they separated in July 2023. To this day, they still haven’t filed for divorce.
Fans of Bravo keep coming back because of the chaos, charisma, and character development they see in these shows. These five Bravo hunks fit perfectly into those qualities, which is why they are on our radar for 2026.
