Chase McWhorter Opens Hallie Batchelder Date Run in New York City

Chase McWhorter said he went on a date with hallie batchelder in New York City on Tuesday night and is open to as many more dates as she wants. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star made the comment after a week of public breadcrumbs that had already tied the pair together at Coachella.

Tuesday Night in New York

McWhorter said, "Any chance I get to see her, I’m stoked about," and added, "I would be down for as many dates as she wants," at Wednesday night’s live event. He also described the date as "The vibes" and "so good," while calling Batchelder "super cool."

That follows his earlier comments that he had "had a crush on Hallie" and told her so. When asked whether the feeling was mutual, he said, "I don’t know, you’ve got to ask her."

Coachella Breadcrumbs

Earlier this month, Batchelder posted an Instagram Story sitting arm-in-arm with McWhorter at Coachella, and he later posted a photo of her kissing his cheek. A source said the two had been DMing before the festival and met in person there for the first time, with their first kiss coming on Saturday at the end of Justin Bieber’s set.

McWhorter then joked in an Instagram video of the conversation that he is in Batchelder’s "fan club." The public pacing matters because it turns a private date into a running storyline for a reality-TV figure who has already been linked to other cast members in recent weeks.

McWhorter’s Dating Trail

In February, Batchelder said she hooked up with Dakota Mortensen while filming Unwell Winter Games, and she later said, "We shared a couple kisses" and "It was just very, like, whatever." McWhorter also kissed Jessi Draper at a party last month, then said in March that he had learned his lesson from that on Harry Jowsey’s Boyfriend Material podcast.

For now, the main takeaway is simple: McWhorter is not treating Tuesday night as a one-off. He put his interest in Batchelder in public, and that leaves the relationship tracker focused on whether the next appearance is another date or just another social post.
