When Southern Charm first aired on Bravo in 2014, it showcased the professional and personal lives of Charleston socialites of varying ages. There was 50-year-old politician, Thomas Ravenel, real estate agent Cameran Eubanks, who was most likely in her twenties, and South Carolina’s party boy, Shep Rose, who was in his mid-30s.
Southern Charm was unlike any other reality TV show as it showed these co-stars mingling together despite their age differences. Charleston is known for being a small city, so it was no surprise that these stars would find themselves at the same events. Now with Season 10 in full-force, the show continues to showcase how these cast members intermingle despite some of their substantial age gaps.
So, how old are the Southern Charm cast members as of 2025?
