When Jason's co-host David Arduin mentioned at the end of the podcast how Jason and Kelley's chemistry was apparent, Jason got candid.
"She's great. She's just awesome," Jason gushed of The Bachelor alum.
"She's easy to be around. She's funny, she's kind, she's sweet, she's smart."
When Jason was interviewing Kelley, Kelley shared how there is a project she's currently working on but choosing to keep it under wraps because it's "complicated."
Jason begged Kelley for more details, but she refused.
"Something is brewing here. Do we have a time of when this is popping -- this thing that you teased?!" Jason asked the attorney.
"Oh, it's a little messy right now, so we'll see," Kelley replied.
"A potential date, maybe this summer?" Jason questioned.
"Maybe that's correct," Kelley concluded.
David therefore asked Jason for clarification on what he meant once Kelley finished recording.

"I need to know because the people need to know, too," he added.
Jason replied, "Let me just clear it up. I'm referring to the project, but you know, who knows, David."
David pointed out how "sometimes the best relationships come from people who start as friends."

Jason revealed that he and Kelley "talk on the phone at least once a week" to catch up.
While David sounded excited about the prospect of Jason and Kelley getting together, David said he wasn't going to "push" it.
"You would be a fan of it," Jason playfully argued with his co-host. "You would push this, I feel like."

"I will say this, we are talking about getting a Rewired Talent management house in the Hamptons this summer. Little tease. She was like, 'I want in. I want to be part of it. I'm down to chip in, whatever it is,'" Jason shared.
"So yeah, we might be in the Hamptons this summer."
Kelley publicly announced her split from her latest boyfriend, Ari Raptis, in November 2024 after he had allegedly cheated on her.
"I just feel so stupid," Kelley said of her year-and-a-half long relationship with Ari during the November 27 episode of the "Chicks in the Office" podcast.
Kelley also revealed on TikTok at the time that she felt betrayed and her heart was "shattered."
Prior to her romance with Ari, Kelley had dated The Bachelor's Season 24 star Peter Weber for three years on and off.

Peter and Kelley began dating in early 2020 amid the coronavirus pandemic and announced their first split on New Year's Eve 2021.
It didn't take long for the couple to try again, but then they broke up in February 2021, with Kelley confirming the revived romance ended "really badly."
Peter and Kelley sparked speculation they were back together -- again -- in August 2022 via flirty social media posts and public appearances. They ultimately went Instagram official with their relationship for the second time in October of that year.
Peter revealed he and Kelley -- his fifth-place finisher on The Bachelor -- were done during a playful interview at a beauty convention in Calgary, Canada, in April 2023.
For Jason's part, he recently spoke out about how he wants to get married and have children after his latest romance with TikTok star Kat Stickler ended in October 2024.
