Shep Rose has shared more details about his behind-the-scenes bond with Andy Cohen.
The Southern Charm-er addressed the dynamic during the kick-off of BravoCon 2025 in Las Vegas, where he and dozens of reality stars gathered for three days of panels, activations, and meet-and-greets. Although Shep said he was looking forward to all the weekend activities, he was particularly excited to see BravoCon’s de facto master of ceremonies, Andy.
Shep Rose dishes on his “text chain” with Andy Cohen
“It’s funny, we’re on a text chain — me and Austen [Kroll] and Craig [Conover] and Andy,” Shep told People magazine. “And then we will separately text. I mean, I was in the Hamptons, and Andy said, ‘Why don’t you come by?’ I was like, ‘I’m here.’”
Shep was referring to his summer hangout with Andy and his two young children: 6-year-old Benjamin Allen Cohen and 3-year-old Lucy Eve Cohen.

“I met his son and his daughter and hung out on the beach for a little,” Shep continued. “People always ask me what he’s like. He is the most genuine guy. If you ask him any stupid question, which I try to keep to a very bare minimum, he gets right back to you. He’s like the most — I mean, he’s true bloom.”
Andy Cohen recalls his Hamptons hangout with Shep Rose
Shep caught up with the Cohens back in August, when he stopped by their vacation home in the beautiful Amagansett beach community. Andy shed light on Shep’s Hamptons visit during the August 11 episode of his SiriusXM show, Radio Andy, saying he was rather impressed with Shep’s interaction with his kids.

“Shep had been texting me, saying he’s in the Hamptons, he’s gonna be around. So, he showed up on my beach,” the Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen host said. “He came with a buddy of his with some fishing rods to go fly-fishing in the ocean.
“And I gotta tell you something: You can tell the measure of a person by how they are with your kids,” Andy continued. “He walked on the beach — and, you know, Shep, I’ve always characterized like a golden retriever — but he walked on the beach, and Ben immediately ran over to him because he saw the fishing rod, and he’s like, ‘Are you going fishing?’ And Shep’s like, ‘Yeah, I’ll teach you how to do it, come here.’”
Andy said Shep spent “a really good amount of time with Ben,” teaching him how to fish and playing in the sand.
“It touched my heart,” the dad confessed. “I was like, ‘This is very sweet.’”
