🤐 SPOILER ALERT 🤐 for Bling Empire Seasons 2 and 3!

Bling Empire is back, and along with it comes a new love interest for cast member Kevin Kreider. Well, new to us, that is.

But first, let’s take a romantic stroll down Kevin’s Bling Empire dating history. In Season 1, the model-actor-entrepreneur is in hot pursuit of Kelly Mi Li, who’s still working things out with her now-ex, Andrew Gray. After Kevin and Kelly decide to remain friends, he shifts his attention to DJ Kim Lee, who seems interested at first glance. Alas, despite an initial connection and some heady conversations between the two, Kevin and Kim’s relationship comes to a rather dramatic ending in the Season 2 finale.

Cut to Season 3, where Kevin has decided to join longtime couture patron Christine Chiu at Paris Fashion Week. Reeling from his recent romantic fumbles while dressed head to toe in Gaultier, Kevin confesses that he still has feelings for his ex from years past. And that ex is none other than Devon Diep, who Christine tracks down and flies to Paris to reunite with Kevin. Devon, wearing a crystalized gown, appears in front of Kevin in a Versailles-esque room in Paris where the two passionately reunite — and the rest is history. Or, for now it is, at least.

So, who exactly is Devon Diep? Well, first and foremost, she’s a multi-hyphenate who does it all, from modeling to singing to directing. 

Devon spent most of her childhood in Boston, where she grew up with her parents and siblings. She discussed relationship with her family in a piece for Boston Man Magazine, writing, “I often remind myself that my parents escaped to a foreign country with no money, had to learn another language, and risked their lives for us to have a better future than what we had in Vietnam. I promised myself that I must succeed and make them proud.”

As an actor, Devon has appeared in The Heat, Marvel’s Jessica Jones and Apple TV+’s Defending Jacob. She’s also a musician and has even written, produced and directed her own music videos, including the video for her song “Do You Believe.” In 2014, she wrote the title song, “Green Dragon,” for Revenge of the Green Dragons, a film that was executive produced by Martin Scorsese. Not to mention, she’s written and directed her own short film, Air.

Outside of her work in entertainment, Diep is running her beauty service, Diep Looks, and the small business she keeps with her mom, Love Mama x Me. In her spare time, Diep can be found cuddling with her cat, King Boo, while catching up on her favorite TV shows. “I also enjoy going on mini adventures with my family and friends,” she tells Tudum. “I love bonding with them through nature hikes, stuffing our faces with food, movie nights, lounging in PJs, goofing around and marveling at the sight of the universe through my little brother’s fancy telescope. We get to be kids and have fun enjoying the simple things. It keeps me grounded in this new Bling world.”

So, what’s next for the couple in reality TV love? Diep tells us that she and Kevin are starting a production company together, called ALLS Productions, to tell Asian-lead love stories. Next up on the docket? A music video for her song “Talk About,” in which she and Kevin play a married couple.

That’s a lot to keep up with — thankfully, you can follow along on her Instagram.
