Among the first charter guests on Below Deck Season 13 was Taylor Ann Green, who viewers might recognize from her time on Southern Charm.
Taylor arrived in Phuket, Thailand, with then-boyfriend Gaston Rojas, during Below Deck‘s Oct. 12 premiere episode, as a guest of co-primaries Kenny and Christina Haisfield. The Haisfields own Kenny Flowers, an upscale, tropical clothing and lifestyle brand that has also previously been featured on Southern Charm. “Y’all have created, like, a family — not just a company, but a family,” Taylor said while toasting the couple at a dinner aboard Azul V.
Elsewhere in Episode 1, she even floated the idea of playing matchmaker between chief stew Fraser Olender and Southern Hospitality‘s TJ Dinch. “That’s why I’m like, ‘Are you single?'” Taylor explained to some other members of her group, adding, “‘Cause our friend is single, and it makes sense.”

She continued, “He cares about me as a human being, and he cared about me very deeply. … Even in my time of kind of throwing him under the bus and giving him a lot of s–t, he’s always been there for me. And he’s just had a very big heart for myself, for me, and my family, which is big for me. That’s important, especially when it comes to my family.”
After Shep mentioned Taylor in his book, Nothing in Moderation: A Psychedelic Reckoning with Excess, he opened up to Bravo Insider about her reaction in an exclusive August 2026 interview.
