Craig Conover’s relationship with Paige DeSorbo
Also during Season 1 of Winter House, Craig connected with Paige in early 2021, though the two did not publicly confirm their relationship until that September when they attended Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula’s wedding together.

In that time, they’d discussed a possible engagement and the possibility of Craig relocating to New York City.

Austen began his long-distance relationship with Audrey in Feb. 2024, but the two split in late 2025, as he discussed during Season 11 of the show.
According to Austen, Audrey, who lived in Charlotte, North Carolina, while they dated, wanted to move in with him after a year and a half together. However, he realized that he simply was not ready to take that step and ended their relationship.
“This is the first time I think that I’ve initiated a breakup with someone that I really love,” he said on Southern Charm. “It’s heartbreaking because she didn’t do anything wrong. But, for me, there’s something there that is missing, at no fault of her own.”
Shep Rose’s relationship with Taylor Ann Green
Shep confirmed he was dating Taylor in in May 2020, and she made her debut on Southern Charm in Season 7. During that year’s reunion, Shep admitted to cheating on Taylor by texting “an old flame” and kissing another girl in a stairwell, but they still decided to stay together.
After two years of dating, Shep and Taylor broke up in July 2022. However, the exes reconnected as friends while Shep was filming Season 12 of Southern Charm in 2026.
“I was just so overjoyed to see Taylor again,” Shep recently told Bravo Insider. “I thought I’d lost her forever, which is very sad to me because I care about her and her family a whole hell of a lot.”
Shep Rose’s relationship with Sienna Evans
Shep met Sienna, who is a Bahamas-based model and a former beauty queen, on a dating site, and their long-distance relationship played out during Season 10 in 2024. Toward the end of the season, Shep announced that he and Sienna had split, referring to their breakup as feeling “like a death by a thousand paper cuts.”

Salley and Andrew had bonded over the fact that their respective exes, Taylor and Gaston, were also dating each other at the time. However, Salley revealed during a January 2025 Instagram Q&A that she and Andrew had broken up.

Post-filming, Salley and Austen played coy during the Season 11 reunion when host Andy Cohen asked if they had been “intimate,” but she at least confirmed that there had been “more than kissing” between them.
Since then, the two have been open about their “complicated” friends-with-benefits arrangement, but they’ve never officially been in a relationship. As for why he and Salley never exclusively dated, Austen hinted during October’s Bravo Fan Fest 2026 that “Season 12 of Southern Charm really dives into that.” Added Salley, “Tune in!”
Who has Venita Aspen dated?
“I feel like this season’s going to be the first season where I’m really open about dating and trying to fall in love and trying to find the right guy,” Venita recently told Bravo Insider. “You guys kind of get a little bit more of an inside scoop to my personal life, which I feel I haven’t been very loud about. But I was really excited to show more of that this season.”

Even so, Molly described her love life as being “non-existent” on Season 12, explaining to Bravo Insider that she was “newly single” during filming.

Who has Allie Newman dated?
Aside from her attempted romance with Whitner, Allie told Bravo Insider that she also “went on a few dates” with Austen before signing on for Southern Charm Season 12. She was also fresh off a “really hard” breakup when filming began.
Previewing what’s to come in her “tragic” love life on Season 12, Allie said, “I went through a really hard breakup and am trying to put myself out there again, trying to date again. Let’s just say I don’t have the best taste in men. I have a bad picker. I’m trying to date. I’m very much single still, so trial and error for sure.”
Who has Charley Manley dated?
Charley Manley’s relationship with Justin Assad
Charley revealed she and Justin were dating during the Southern Charm Season 11 reunion, which was filmed on Feb. 4. Though Charley has already denied engagement rumors, she told Bravo Insider that she and Justin have discussed their future together.
“I hate to be one of those people that’s like, ‘It’s amazing,’ but it really is,” Charley shared. “My family loves him, I love his family, and things are great. We definitely talk quite a lot about our future together, and we’re making the steps to get married one day. We want a family together. It’s really exciting.”
