Wendy’s fans totally packed out the Buckhead location of the popular book store and you’ll never guess what reality show “star” was one of the first in line to get his book signed…

Kenya Moore’s “boyfriend for hire” Walter Jackson from The Real Housewives of Atlanta was first up for a photo op! (with Wendy’s husband Kevin (solid black tee) side-eyeing from the sidelines.

Walter explained that even though he’s a huge fan, he was only there to get a copy signed for his moms…

What a nice son!
