'Southern Charm' Cast: Where Are They Now? (2024)

Cameran Eubanks

Fans have watched this fun-loving southern belle go from starting married life with anesthesiologist Jason Wimberly to becoming a new mom to a baby girl named Palmer. Although Eubanks has often been the glue for the very animated cast of Southern Charm, the real estate agent has had her own battles to work through while on the show.

When fans first met Eubanks, she was very adamant about not wanting children. Even though she was firm about her stance, she worried that her husband might resent her if they never had kids, or worse — her kids might take after her.

Eubanks told PEOPLE in 2019 that despite the difficult parts of parenting, it's worth the "love you cannot describe" when a child enters your life. However, the star has said she's done after having one.

"I can either give [Palmer] a sibling or I can give her a sane mother," said Eubanks. "And I think giving her a happy, healthy, mentally sane mother is way more important than a brother or sister that she's probably gonna fight with anyway."

Sadly for fans, Eubanks made a shocking announcement in May 2020 revealing that she wouldn't be returning for the show's seventh season. She dropped the news subtly in the comments section of one of her own posts on Instagram but then had to formally address her exit when "insidious rumors" about her marriage began to swirl.

"My decision was made and given to Bravo months ago and had absolutely nothing to do with ridiculous and fake rumors about my marriage," Eubanks said in a since-deleted Instagram post. "Please disregard any fabricated rumor. It's a ploy for ratings and that's it."

Before that statement, AllAboutTheTea.com had alleged that Wimberly had been having a two-year affair behind Eubanks' back.

The outlet reported its source claimed Eubanks "was handling it privately off camera" and was "devastated" when she found out producers were plotting to bring up the allegation during the season.

Eubanks denied that the allegations were her reason for leaving the series. In her 2021 memoir, One Day You'll Thank Me, she wrote that starring on the show "started to feel a bit icky."

Craig Conover

Charleston's most eligible bachelor has had a rough couple of years figuring out his path in life. From losing his passion for law to figuring out how to make his love of sewing into a career, Conover experienced many growing pains and endured a lot of teasing from his castmates. Additionally, his three-year relationship with Naomie Olindo crumbled, which prompted his first experience with depression. When Olindo went public with her new boyfriend Metul Shah, Conover found his own way to start fresh.

After Whitney Sudler-Smith introduced him to Bimini, an island that is part of the Bahamas, he fell in love and spent a few months there to relax and reevaluate his life, only to return to Charleston as a happier man. He even launched his own sewing lifestyle brand called Sewing Down South! (Are you ready to join the #SewSquad?)

"Sewing has been a point of inspiration, an outlet for creativity, a method to decompress and a way for me to stay true to myself," Conover said in a 2019 release, as reported by Bravo TV. "In the past, I was mocked for enjoying the art and craft of sewing, but now — I'm excited to focus on what brings me and so many others so much joy. Us sewers deserve a kick-ass sewing brand that represents our lifestyle!"

In 2021, Conover began dating his Winter House costar, Paige DeSorbo. She has since joined the Southern Charms cast.

Kathryn Dennis

Southern Charm would be nothing without the likes of Ms. Kathryn Calhoun Dennis. The fiery redhead burst onto the scene as Charleston's "It Girl," who everyone had their eyes on. It wasn't until she started dating disgraced politician Thomas Ravenel that things got heated. The toxic relationship put both Dennis and Ravenel in a downward spiral that eventually ended but took years to repair. The two (and probably only) highlights of their love affair are their adorable children: Kensington and Saint.

Dennis' rise from the ashes took several seasons, and many of the people who turned their backs on her have come around, including the queen of Charleston herself, Patricia Altschul.

"We were listening to one side of the equation and it was very believable at the time," Altschul said during the season 6 premiere about how Ravenel would talk about Dennis and her past behavior. "There were a lot of things that converged to change my opinion. I had my own altercation with Thomas and I found out that he can be into character assassination. It made me rethink everything he had ever told me about Kathryn."

In 2021, Dennis began dating Chleb Ravenell. After a breakup, they rekindled their relationship in 2022, though Dennis said "something's off" about the reunion. She has since focused on raising her two children and confirmed that she left the series in January 2023, after eight seasons.

Thomas Ravenel

The former state treasurer of South Carolina seemed to have it all — good looks, money, power — until everything fell apart. Throughout each season, fans have watched Ravenel slowly unravel throughout his dysfunctional relationship with ex Kathryn Dennis, but things only got worse when he started dating Ashley Jacobs.

The registered nurse caused so much drama that she decided to publicly apologize to all Southern Charm fans and Dennis in a since-deleted Instagram post. Ravenel and Jacobs eventually split for good after more than a year of dating.

Ravenel left the show ahead of season 6, following another rough patch.

In October 2018, Dennis filed documents in Charleston seeking to obtain primary custody of their two children after their former nanny accused Ravenel of rape.

Ravenel was arrested and pleaded guilty to third-degree assault and battery. He agreed to pay a $500 fine in lieu of a 30-day jail sentence. Ravenel and the nanny reached a $125,000 settlement in October, with Ravenel agreeing to pay $45,000 in her personal legal fees and an additional $80,000 to a local nonprofit aiding adult survivors of sexual assault.

After a lengthy custody battle, Dennis and Ravenel agreed to share joint legal and physical custody of their two children in November 2019, with Ravenel having "primary legal custody," his lawyer told PEOPLE at the time.

By February 2020, the two were spotted spending time together again but denied being a couple. Later that year, Ravenel became a father again when his ex-girlfriend, Heather Mascoe, gave birth to a son, Jonathan Jackson Ravenel.

Ravenel and Dennis have continued to battle each other over custody of their two children, with Ravenel temporarily regaining primary custody in March 2021.

Shep Rose

Charleston's resident ladies' man hasn't really changed much since the show premiered; Rose still parties with his castmates and has fun with the ladies. Although he's been open about fearing lifelong bachelorhood, the wealthy Casanova did make a solid attempt to find love on his spin-off reality dating show called RelationShep, which premiered in December 2017.

Rose enlisted friends, like Cameran Eubanks, to take his search outside of Charleston, in cities like L.A., Dallas, Austin and N.Y.C. The season finale revealed that Rose ended up choosing Bella Clark, but she eventually ended the relationship, sending Rose back into the dating pool.

In 2020, Rose began dating Taylor Ann Green. The relationship ended two years later, with a source telling PEOPLE, "Shep has a real issue with monogamy and refused to commit to Taylor, telling her that he doesn't want to be with just one person and change his lifestyle." Rose later said that the breakup was "really hard on both of us."

Fans will have to wait and see if Rose ever settles down or continues to remain a bachelor.

Whitney Sudler-Smith

Southern Charm producer and recurring castmate Sudler-Smith has been more of an elusive character on the show, but that hasn't stopped him from occasionally landing in some hot water.

Fans may recall the jet-setting star hooking up with Kathryn Dennis before she started dating ex Thomas Ravenel, which caused a lot of friction between the three castmates, but to everyone's surprise, the two hooked up again before the start of season 6. Whispers of the possible dalliance surfaced at Sudler-Smith's mother Patricia Altschul's dinner party during the season's premiere. Dennis later admitted it was true while talking to friends at Chelsea Meissner's housewarming party.

"I swore to him [I wouldn't tell]," she said before confirming it happened while they were both in L.A.

Despite the juicy gossip, the two remained friends and Sudler-Smith took more of a role behind the camera than in front. That is, until 2022, when it was revealed that Sudler-Smith kissed and "spent the night" with cast member Naomie Olindo after the "dog wedding" of Altschul and Rose's dogs, Peaches and Little Craig. Naturally, the encounter caused all sorts of drama with the stars of Southern Charm, with Conover accusing Sudler-Smith of breaking the "bro code."

Naomie Olindo

Although she was first introduced during season 3 as Conover's girlfriend, Olindo has become a star in her own right. Her unfiltered approach may have added more fuel to the fire as their relationship decayed, but their split was for the best because she moved on to Charleston-based physician Metul Shah. Early into season 6, Eubanks gushed about how hot Shah is on the show.

"This is probably the finest man I've ever seen in real life," Eubanks told the cameras. "He is tall, dark and handsome. And exotic."

"We don't have too many of them in Charleston," she added with a laugh.

Her comment calling Shah "exotic" caused a bit of backlash, which Olindo quickly shot down.

Sources confirmed to PEOPLE in May 2020 that Olindo was leaving the series. However, her departure was brief. After sitting out of season 7, Olindo returned to the series for season 8. In the interim, Olindo and Shah split up in July 2021. She later said she had to "beg" to get back on the series after she returned to Charleston.

Olindo has since moved on in a new relationship, but is adamant that her new boyfriend will not appear on Southern Charm. "Relationships are hard enough... so sharing it with all these people to have an opinion about it, I just don't think — I'm just not willing to do that anymore," she shared at BravoCon 2022.

Austen Kroll

The king of beer only joined the show at the start of season 4 but he's definitely been a castmate to watch. Kroll's boyish charm won Chelsea Meissner over and the two started dating until things fizzled out and Kroll moved on to Madison LeCroy.

The season 6 premiere went off with a bang with LeCroy accusing Kroll of having a threesome. The star denied the accusation but LeCroy still believes he cheated. In a now-viral video released in 2018, Kroll and LeCroy are seen having an explosive argument after she finds Kroll in his underwear with two other women in his home. At one point, LeCroy directly asks one of them if she slept with Kroll, which she denies.

"So then why are your panties lying by the bed?" LeCroy fires back, to which Kroll says, "Because they slept in my f------ bedroom ... And what the f--- is the matter with that?"

Although Kroll maintained his innocence, LeCroy cheated on him in retaliation, calling his infidelity a hall pass for her to do whatever she wanted. The couple split for good in 2020.

After brief encounters with Summer House's Lindsay Hubbard and Ciara Miller, Kroll appeared to begin dating Olivia Flowers in early 2022, but by October that year the pair indicated that they were "not in a relationship."

Chelsea Meissner

This South Carolinian joined the Southern Charm gang during season 3 and proved to be the show's ultimate cool girl. She surfs, lives in her own gorgeous, remodeled home and is all about her independence.

The only man she didn't mind hanging around her 24/7 was her sweet dog, Tyson. Sadly, Tyson passed away in August 2022.

Meissner, alongside Eubanks and Olindo, left the series after season 6 concluded. Though Olindo returned to the series, in June 2022 she expressed doubt that Meissner would make a similar return.
