“She really liked it. I said some nice things that I meant about she and her family in there,” he said. He added, “She’s a big reason of how I got here today, right now, especially back then. So she, in many ways, was the muse, or a muse that inspired me.”
Taylor had previously shown her support for Shep and his career on her Instagram Story in June, posting a photo of the book on a lounge chair outside. “Got my summer read and it’s signed by THE [Shep],” the Southern Charm alum wrote over the image.
Where do Shep Rose and Taylor Ann Green stand today?
Shep and Taylor have played coy about where they stand today following her breakup from Gaston Rojas. Although they have since reunited and renewed their friendship, Shep has not revealed if things have taken a romantic turn between them.
“She’s back in my life a little bit, and I’m very pleased with that,” he said on SiriusXM’s Page Six Radio on July 1, according to E! News. “She loved me so much, and she cared about me so much, and I took it for granted. And I care about her and her family very much. Thankfully, that relationship stayed somewhat connected.”

What is Shep Rose’s book, Nothing in Moderation: A Psychedelic Reckoning With Excess, about?
Taylor is just one of the topics and people mentioned in Nothing in Moderation. According to the publisher, Shep’s second book is about Shep’s journey to Costa Rica and “what followed was the most transformative, terrifying, and enlightening experience of his life.”
Shep Rose opens up about writing his second book
Shep published his first book, Average Expectations: Lessons in Lowering the Bar, in 2021. But he admitted to Bravo Insider in July 2026 that this writing process was just a bit different from the last. “I was inspired, and when I’m inspired, which isn’t really all that often, I really get creative,” he said. “I wrote that first book, enjoyed it, enjoyed writing. It poured out of me. It was fun. I was able to express myself, which I always knew that I liked, so here I am on a bus headed to Costa Rica, heading to do ayahuasca, and I just started writing.”
“I’m seeing these things around me, meeting people for the first time, and everyone has this nervous excitement and fear about what we’re about to get ourselves into, but we’re all in it together,” he added. “So it was just a very bizarre circumstance, and I was like, ‘Oh my God. I am totally creatively stimulated.’ So I started writing and writing and writing in a journal. And then I started to share some of my journal writing, snippets of it, with some close friends, and they encouraged me to do so.”
