Southern Charm is almost back on Bravo for Season 11, and a lot has has changed in the friend group. Although things might be “easy as the birds and the bees and the 1-2-3’s” for the cast members some of the time, it seems their dynamics are going to be a little more difficult for many during Season 11, which premieres on Bravo on Wednesday, Nov. 19 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
In case you need a refresher, some major moments happened during the Southern Charm Season 10 finale, which aired in March. Craig Conover had just broken up with his longterm girlfriend, Austen Kroll had made amends in his friendship with Craig, and Shep Rose shared a kiss with Season 10 newcomer Molly O’Connell. But, as seen in the trailer above, a lot has changed since then. Craig is exploring his single life, Austen has found himself in the midst of some relationship drama, and Shep has found himself caught between his friends.
Read on to catch up with the cast of Southern Charm Season 11 since the Season 10 finale.
Madison LeCroy gave birth to daughter, Teddi Randle, in June
Madison LeCroy is now the mom to two children — a 12-year-old son and newborn daughter. On Feb. 6, the same day that the Southern Charm Season 10 reunion filmed, Madison announced that she and her husband, Brett Randle, were expecting a baby girl.
The couple welcomed their daughter, Teddi LeCroy Randle, into the world on June 29. In the months since then, Madison has shared updates on her daughter, noting that the doctor said “she’s on the right track growing strong and doing just perfect” at her four month doctor’s appointment.
Madison will be pregnant on Southern Charm Season 11, and according to an announcement for the new season, she’s not letting “any misbehavior slip through the cracks.”
Craig Conover shares updates on his dating life
Craig’s romantic life will definitely be a point of conversation during Southern Charm Season 11. Since his 2024 breakup with Paige DeSorbo, Craig has dated new people, and Southern Charm Season 11 will capture that.
In the trailer for the new season, Craig can be seen going on a date with Season 11 newcomer Charley Manley. “I’m having fun, like being able to kiss someone if I want to guilt free,” Craig said in a voice-over in the trailer.

Later, he can be heard calling cast member Salley Carson “beautiful.” However, things don’t appear to be 100 percent with Salley and Craig, as she noted that she was “overwhelmed” by him and the “man children” in their group.
Salley Carson is in a “love triangle” with Craig Conover
Salley’s dating life also seems to be a talking point during Southern Charm Season 11, as Madison describes it as a “love triangle” in the trailer. Salley can be seen confronting Charley about going on a date with someone she had a crush on. “You knew how I was feeling about him and then you went on a date with him,” she tearfully told her friend in the trailer.
Although Salley seems to be finding herself at an odds with Charley, she can be seen finding a break by kissing Austen, who had been in a relationship with Audrey Pratt. Salley can also be seen hanging out in a hot tub with Craig and his friend Kory Keefer, who alludes to them spending the night together.
Details on Austen Kroll’s new business venture with Craig Conover
Austen has been super focused on his career since Southern Charm Season 10. In addition to Austen adopting two cats over the summer, Austen and Craig opened up a wedding and events venue in Charleston, The Waverly. Nestled in the heart of Charleston, The Waverly offers a reception hall and outdoor garden space, perfect for hosting events of all kinds.

Austen’s beer brand, Trop Hop, is still going strong, too. Austen recently launched a line of THC-infused, non-alcoholic seltzers with his brand in a few different flavors.
Shep Rose shares updates on his friendships with the Southern Charm cast members
Shep found himself at an odds in his situationship with Sienna Evans during Southern Charm Season 10. But, during Southern Charm Season 11, Shep will be more focused on his friendships as he is currently single. According to the announcement for the new season, Shep “continues to be caught between Craig and Austen’s crossfire and one of his most valuable friendships is at risk when he gets embroiled in a nasty rumor.”
Shep’s friendship with Whitney Sudler-Smith is still going strong, with Shep and Whitney meeting up in London in September. Shep, Craig, and Austen all hung out together in September, as well, heading to New York together to attend the Ryder Cup.
Venita Aspen and Craig Conover navigate a falling out
Venita’s friendships will also be on the line during Southern Charm Season 11. Following Craig’s break up, Venita had reached out to his ex, rather than Craig, with Venita revealing that her and Craig are “not that close” during a February podcast appearance.
Craig then appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen in March, where he admitted that he has no interest in being friends with Venita. “I wish her well, but no one is entitled to my friendship, and she definitely isn’t anymore,” he told Andy Cohen.
Venita’s “deepening friendship with Salley,” according to the announcement for the new season, is in jeopardy because of Salley’s friendship with Craig. In the trailer, Venita can be seen telling Salley that she doesn’t want her to be friends with Craig, before Salley shares her differing opinion. “I don’t want to stop hanging out with Craig,” she told Venita.
“He will walk you like a dog on a leash until he is through with you,” Venita told Salley in reply.
Details on Salley Carson’s friendship drama
Salley’s “important female friendships feel betrayed,” according to the announcement for Season 11. This can be seen in the trailer, not only in her conversation with Venita, but with Molly. Salley and Molly can be seen exchanging heated words at a party in the trailer for the season. “You were being s—y,” Molly told Salley.
“You’re being f—ing sh—y,” Salley replied.
Charley, who is described in the trailer as Salley’s “best friend” can be seen having a tearful exchange with Salley after going on a date with Craig. “You knew how I was feeling about him, and then you went on a date with him,” Salley tearfully told Charley in the trailer.
Who are the new Southern Charm Season 11 cast members?
Charley is new to the cast as a “small-town girl who moved to Charleston” to work in the art scene. Whitner Slagsvol, a lawyer who is friends with both Shep and Craig, will also join the cast for Southern Charm Season 11. According to an announcement for the season, Whitner “has a keen perspective, which manifests into an ability to mediate group conflict like an old pro.”
