‘Southern Charm’ Cast’s Dating History: Inside the Bravo Stars' Love Lives

When it comes to Southern hospitality, the cast of Southern Charm doesn’t stop at being “just friends.” In fact, some of the show’s biggest names, including Shep Rose, Kathryn Dennis and Austen Kroll have a history of dating their costars — in between off-camera romances. Kathryn, who shares two children with former Bravo personality Thomas Ravenel, was a bit of a wild child when the show first premiered in February 2014. During season 1, she hooked up with costar Whitney Sudler-Smith before romancing Thomas. She also flirted with Craig Conover and got cozy with Shep. OG star Cameran Eubanks and Leva Bonaparte, meanwhile, got married before appearing on the reality show. Craig, for his part, romanced Summer House’s Paige DeSorbo — following a messy split from Naomie Olindo. Scroll down for a complete guide to the cast of Southern Charm’s relationships:

Shep has a reputation for being one of the cast’s biggest flirts and a total ladies’ man. Ahead of the show, he dated Danni, whom he’s remained close friends with for years. He has had flirtations with former costars Landon Clements and Chelsea Meissner, but nothing ever came from either romance.

The Average Expectations author most notably had an on-again, off-again hookup with Kathryn for years, but they never crossed over into something serious. He briefly dated the winner of his short-lived spinoff, RelationShep, Bella Clark in 2018.

Shep confirmed his relationship with Taylor Ann Green in May 2020 after sparking relationship speculation earlier that year. Taylor made her Southern Charm debut in season 7, which premiered the same year. In January 2021, the TV personality admitted that he cheated on Taylor by kissing an ex but revealed during the season 7 reunion that they were still together. Us confirmed in July 2022 that the pair split.

Shep had a long-distance relationship with former Miss Bahamas Sienna Evans during 2024. He confirmed he was single in November of that year. During season 10 of Southern Charm, which premiered in December 2024, fans got a look at the start of Shep’s romance with Sienna.

Following his onscreen split from Sienna, Shep asked costar Molly O’Connell to be his date for a summer kickoff party that was filmed for the season 10 finale. Shep and Molly exchanged several kisses at the bash, which aired in March 2025, and confirmed during the season 10 reunion they had “adult fun” a few times after the season wrapped.

Shep confirmed in March 2025 that he was not “currently” dating Molly, but he called her a “great” girl.

Craig had a flirty relationship with Kathryn during season 1, but he was friend-zoned after she started seeing Thomas. He eventually began dating Naomie, whom he first met at the College of Charleston when he was a senior and she was a freshman. After the designer graduated from school, the pair reconnected and dated for three years before calling it quits in 2017.

The Sewing Down South founder confirmed his relationship with Natalie Hegnauer in December 2020, hours ahead of her Southern Charm debut. They called it quits the following year.

Us confirmed in May 2021 that Craig was dating Summer House star Paige after they filmed Winter House together earlier that year. The couple, however, didn’t publicly announce their relationship until later that summer.

Craig, meanwhile, raised eyebrows in July 2021 when he and Austen were rumored to have been in a love triangle with Kristin Cavallari. She denied at the time that she was anything more than friends with either Bravo star. Craig, however, claimed during a January 2022 episode of Summer House that he had been intimate with Kristin after he was confronted by Paige in the Hamptons.

When the episode aired, a source exclusively told Us that Craig was “making it up — it’s not true,” adding, “They never hooked up.” Kristin confessed in September 2023 that she “kissed” Craig in the past.

Paige and Craig’s relationship lasted three years with Paige announcing in December 2024 that they parted ways after Thanksgiving.

A source exclusively confirmed to Us in March 2025 that Craig was dating Natalie Buffett after the reality star teased earlier in the month that he was “happy” in a new relationship.

The stylist was married to Josh Hughes from 2010 to 2015. They share son Hudson, whom they welcomed in November 2012. When fans of the reality show met Madison, she was starting a romance with costar Austen. The pair’s on and off relationship last two years before Us exclusively confirmed in December 2020 that they had called it quits.

Ahead of her breakup with Austen, Madison had a flirty relationship with season 7 newbie Pringle. Their checky interactions played out on Southern Charm, but never became anything serious.

Us confirmed in January 2021 that Madison was “having fun” and getting to know former quarterback Jay Cutler following his split from Kristin Cavallari in April 2020. The relationship quickly soured after Madison made a video directed at the Uncommon James founder, with whom Jay shares three children, because Kristin was spotted hanging out with Madison’s ex-boyfriend Austen.

“The world is full of users. 10 years. Can’t break that,” Jay and Kristin posted on their Instagram accounts. Madison then clapped back at the post by releasing her alleged text messages with Jay, ending the short romance.

The same month, Madison was accused of “flying around the country [and] sleeping with married men. Ex-MLB players,” by Craig during the season 7 Southern Charm reunion. The Southern Belle denied the allegations, but she later confirmed that the man in question was Alex Rodriguez, who was engaged to Jennifer Lopez at the time. “He’s never physically cheated on his fiancée with me. [It’s] never been physical,” she told the New York Post’s Page Six in February 2021. Two months later, Jennifer and A.Rod announced their split.

Madison moved on with a new mystery man in June 2021, later revealing that his name was Brett Randle. She hinted at the new romance in April of that year, telling a fan via Instagram that she had a boyfriend. She announced their engagement in October 2021 while still keeping his last name under wraps. They wed in November 2022. Madison and Brett revealed in February 2025 that they were expecting their first baby together. The couple’s daughter, Teddi, was born in June of that year.

Austen briefly dated costar Chelsea during season 4 of Southern Charm in 2017 before things fizzled out. Their romance played out a little bit in season 5 when he was dating the stylist’s friend Victoria, who continually questioned his loyalty amid Austen’s friendship with Chelsea. The Kings Calling Brewing founder found love again with Madison, but the pair’s rocky relationship came to an end after two years, with Madison confirming to Us in December 2020 that they were over.

Following his split from Madison, Austen sparked romance speculation with Kristin Cavallari, after the pair partied together in late 2020. “She came to town with her friend Justin and the four of us [with Craig] had dinner,” Austen told Us in November 2020 of their friendship. “We’ve all been in contact ever since. We’re in this, like, big old group chat, and the group chat is active. We had a blast with them.” The duo were again spotted with their mutual friends in June 2021 when the Laguna Beach alum came to South Carolina for a visit, but have denied dating rumors in the past.

Austen briefly romanced Winter House costar Ciara Miller in early 2021 while filming the spinoff series in Vermont. The duo were flirty during Austen’s visit to the Hamptons that summer, which played out on season 6 of Summer House. The North Carolina native, however, got himself into trouble when he made out with longtime friend Linsdsay Hubbard while staying at the group’s house.

In May 2022, Austen confirmed to Us that he was dating Olivia Flowers, who joined the cast of Southern Charm for season 8.Olivia revealed during the season 8 reunion, which aired in October 2022, that she and Austen had called it quits.

In early 2023, Austen made headlines when rumors swirled that he and Shep’s ex-girlfriend Taylor had hooked up ahead of season 9 of the series. The twosome denied the allegations at first, but Austen later confessed — during an October 2023 episode of the show — to Shep that he and Taylor had “kissed” and nothing more.

Austen and girlfriend Audrey Pratt made their Instagram debut in February 2024 when Austen shared photos of the pair on a group trip to Mexico.

The Southern Charm producer hooked up with Kathryn before she started seeing his BFF Thomas in season 1 of the reality series, which aired in 2014. It was later reported that the two were intimate again before the start of season 6 in 2019, which Whitney denied on more than one occasion.

Following his initial fling with Kathryn, Whitney began dating Austrian model Larissa Marlot. The pair first met at a New York City party in 2013. They dated on and off for six years with Larissa popping up here and there on the Bravo series before the two seemingly split in 2019. They were last photographed together in January of that year.

During a break from Larissa, Whitney dated a model named Daisy, who fans met in season 4. The two were linked in 2017 before he got back together with Larissa.

Naomie confirmed during season 8 of the series, which aired in the summer of 2022, that she and Whitney had hooked up after his mom’s dog's wedding.

The restauranter, who joined the cast in season 7, has been married to Lamar Bonaparte since April 2013. The couple share son Lamar Jr., whom she calls “Little.”

Us confirmed in July 2022 that Taylor and Shep split after two years of dating. Viewers saw the end of their romance play out on season 8 of the series. During the reunion in October 2022, Taylor accused Shep of sleeping with “300 whores” and cheating on her before they broke up. Shep didn’t address the number of sexual partners he’s had and insisted he just wanted Taylor to be happy.

Ahead of season 9, Taylor and Austen sparked romance speculation when news broke in March 2023 that they secretly hooked up at the end of 2022. The costars denied the rumors, but Austen confessed to Shep during an October 2023 episode that he did kiss Taylor. Taylor, meanwhile, vowed that nothing else happened.

Taylor exclusively told Us in October 2023 that she is dating a new guy named Gaston Rojas, whom she met through Southern Hospitality’s TJ Dinch.

Rodrigo was a longtime friend of the cast before joining the crew for season 9 of Southern Charm in 2023. The interior designer was in a long-term relationship with boyfriend Tyler Dugas when he made his reality TV debut. The couple announced in September 2024 that they got engaged in Greece earlier in the summer after dating nine years. “On a cliffside in Santorini, Tyler said, ‘Let’s do it!’” Rodrigo captioned his proposal snap via Instagram.

Venita joined Southern Charm during season 7 in 2020 as a “friend” of the group before becoming a full-time cast member the next season. She introduced fans to her boyfriend Manny during season 9, which aired in 2023.

“In my heart, I feel like [he’s] my forever person,” Venita exclusively told Us of Manny in September 2023. However, she revealed during a season 10 episode — which filmed in summer 2024 — that she and Manny broke up when he got a job in New York.

Venita sparked a romance with castmate Jarrett “JT” Thomas in summer 2024, revealing in January 2025 that they were dating before the season 10 trailer dropped in October 2024 and JT fell “off the face of the Earth.” She alleged during a “Housewives Nightcap” podcast appearance that JT didn’t ghost her, claiming, “He popped up with a girlfriend on Instagram.”

During season 10, Venita was depicted as a “homewrecker” after she claimed production showed sequences between her and JT out of order.

Venita cleared up her and JT’s relationship timeline in March 2025, exclusively telling Us, “We started dating when I got back from New York in September [2024],” noting it was months after the events transpired on the show.

“It was from September, October, November,” she recalled, adding that she and JT were “Trying to figure out, ‘OK, are we doing this? Do we actually like each other? Is it because we’re around each other all the time?’”

Venita explained that in November 2024, JT “posted that he had the girlfriend on Instagram,” which she revealed was “how I found out” he was dating someone else named Ali Pereless.

While Venita said they were “just dating” and not exclusive, she claimed JT didn’t give her a heads up before publicly announcing the other romance. Venita cut off communication with JT after the drama and didn’t speak with him again until the season 10 reunion, which filmed in early 2025.

JT made his Southern Charm debut during season 9, which aired in 2023. He made his feelings for castmate Taylor very clear throughout the season, but she kept him in the friend zone. During season 10, which began airing in December 2024, JT got flirty with Venita and revealed he had feelings for her.

JT announced his exit from the Bravo series in November 2024, noting he would not finish taping his remaining green room interviews. That same week, he went Instagram official with Ali Perless. Venita, meanwhile, claimed they were dating when he posted the photos with the new woman.

JT alleged during the season 10 reunion, which aired in March 2025, that Venita “knew the whole time” they were together that he had a girlfriend. Venita denied his allegations, while the cast called JT a “f** boy” for his actions.

Salley joined the cast of Southern Charm for season 10, which premiered in December 2024. Prior to her time on the show, she was engaged to Avery Bucholz. Salley called off her engagement to Avery shortly before heading to Los Angeles in September 2021 to film season 26 of The Bachelor.

Salley met Bachelor Clayton Echard before the official limo arrivals and revealed she wasn’t ready to start that journey. She eliminated herself before the women arrived.

She made a cameo on two episodes of Southern Hospitality season 2, which aired in 2022, where she went on a date with Joe Bradley. Their brief romance fizzled out when Joe learned that Salley had kissed their mutual friend TJ Dinch’s roommate Gaston Rojas right before their date. Salley proceeded to date Gaston for some time in 2023, before calling it quits that July. (Gaston began dating Taylor that same year.)

The real estate agent’s husband’s alleged cheating scandal, which made headlines in 2020, didn’t, however, play a part in her exit.

Danni dated Shep before the two costarred on the reality series. The pair have remained friends, and at times, Danni has tried to help her costar navigate his other romances.

Following their breakup, Ashley moved back to California and got engaged to Mike Appel in August 2019. The pair announced in June 2021 that they were expecting their first child together after secretly tying the knot.

Thomas, for his part, welcomed his third child, son Jonathan, in June 2020 with Heather Mascoe. Four months later, he revealed that he is “getting married,” but didn’t say to whom. In December 2020, the Daily Mail confirmed that Thomas is engaged to his girlfriend Heather. The twosome have since split.

Naomie joined the cast of Southern Charm during season 3, which aired in 2016, after she began dating Craig. The pair’s ups and downs and eventual split — they called it quits in 2017 after nearly three years together — were a major story line on the show for three seasons.

The L’Abeye owner, who left the show in 2020, introduced boyfriend Metul Shah to her Instagram followers in April 2018. Three years later, the couple announced that they were moving to New York City in July 2021. News broke in mid-July 2021 that the pair had called it quits and Olindo was back in Charleston after a brief move to the Big Apple.

Naomie made headlines in the summer of 2022 when she confessed to hooking up with Craig in Las Vegas one year prior. The brief reconciliation played out on season 8 of the series. During an August 2022 episode, the France native also revealed that she and Whitney hooked up and he “stayed the night” after the group’s dog wedding.

Chelsea announced in April 2023 that she was pregnant with her first baby — but didn’t reveal the child’s father. She confirmed her little one’s arrival in October 2023, sharing via her Instagram at the time that she was “one month postpartum.”

Landon was married to British businessman James Maby for five years before she joined the cast in 2015. The interior designer left the show in 2017 after season 4 and moved to California to start a career in residential real estate. While on the series, rumors surfaced that Landon and Thomas had sparked a romantic relationship, but she claimed they were just friends after knowing him for years.

She also had a playful relationship with Shep, who she has known since college, telling him during season 3 that she was “in love” with him.

The season 7 newcomer was briefly married to San Diego makeup artist Heidi before splitting and relocating to his home state of South Carolina. The former spouses share two sons, Quinn and Asher.
