Shep Rose is a true family man! The Southern Charm cast member just proved he’s an amazing uncle as he celebrates a big milestone for one of his family members. On Aug. 3, the South Carolina native posted a photo carousel honoring his niece Rosie’s huge accomplishment: she’s driving! The post included a video of Shep in the car as Rosie, who just turned 16, drove him and her sisters around.
“Okay, Rosie is driving!” the proud uncle exclaimed in the video. “This is surreal. Is the seat moved up, is everything okay?” He then revealed his precious dog, Lil Craig, was sitting on one of his niece’s laps in the passenger seat. “Craig, do you feel safe?” he joked. “Yeah, he’s actually enthusiastic about her driving.”
At the end of the video, he turned the camera on himself and reflected on Rosie’s huge milestone. “Wow, things have really come full circle here,” he remarked.
Shep showered Rosie with praise in the caption. “Good times with family. Can’t believe my oldest niece [Rosie] is driving. Guess time marches on or something to that effect,” he wrote.
“Soon after the video, [Lil Craig] was crawling around and put the car in neutral at a stop light,” he added in the caption. “[It] was a minor incident handled beautifully.”
