A new romance in theBravo-verse may be brewing!

Flash forward toBravoCon 2022, and not only have the two actually connected — but they’ve both alluded to having chemistry between them.

The two had met for the first time the night before, Gulbranson tells PEOPLE.

“It was nice. We had a nice chat, and I look forward to chatting more throughout the weekend,” he adds, to which costarAndrea Denverinterjected: “Can I say something? They looked like two high school lovers.”

Referencing his answer on theSummer Housepanel, Gulbranson tells PEOPLE, “If we had to bring somebody on the show, I mean, it might as well be somebody that’s pretty and apparently thinks I’m cute. So I was like, ‘It makes sense, doesn’t it?'”

She adds, “I’m pretty single. At this point, I feel like I’m doing some research trying to figure out what I’m supposed to say, but I’m a full-on person. You’re supposed to be a little coy and give a little, not too much. But me, I would just say everything, so I’m trying to learn how to be more strategic.”

Carl Radke and Lindsay Hubbard attend the launch party for the book “Not All Diamonds and Rosé: The Inside Story of The Real Housewives from the People Who Lived It” at Capitale on October 19, 2021 in New York City.

“I randomly shared a car with Ashley coming here,” Hubbard tells PEOPLE.

During the ride, she says she casually brought up Gulbranson. “I was like, ‘By the way, Luke’s one of my best friends,’ and I was just really talking him up,” says Hubbard.

“[Luke] coaches hockey, he works with kids, he loves kids,” says Radke, to which Hubbard adds: “He’s also a great uncle. We’ve met his nieces.”

Radke tells PEOPLE, “I mean, it could work. She’s obviously very attractive.” However, he asks, “Is Luke ready to really go for a serious relationship?”

Hubbard says, “Yes, I think he wants what we have. I think he sees us, and he’s like, ‘Man, I want that.’ But we just have to find him the right girl — like someone who’s okay with like the Minnesota lifestyle, but also the Bravo lifestyle. He has both equally.”
