Season 10 of Southern Charm was an emotional rollercoaster for all the cast members. For some, it was certainly a bumpy ride. Throughout the season, Craig Conover faced a fractured friendship with Austen Kroll and went through a tough breakup with Paige DeSorbo. Shep Rose traveled all the way to the Bahamas just to learn he was never in a relationship with beauty queen Sienna Evans.
Meanwhile, Jarrett “JT” Thomas and Venita Aspen actually dated at some point, but it soured, and she stopped communicating with him when he popped up with another woman on Instagram.
However, it wasn’t all bad for everyone. Newcomer Molly O’Connell got to smooch her crush Shep (and maybe did a little more), and Madison LeCroy’s husband, Brett Randle, was cancer-free. Additionally, Austen learned that Craig was actually having real issues with alcohol, so the men finally got to an understanding.
Southern Charm Season 10 Reunion: Part 1 Kicks Off With A Big Surprise
The Southern Charm Season 10 reunion starts off with a bang with Madison LecCroy being the last to appear on set and revealing that she’s pregnant! At the reunion, Madison revealed that she is four months pregnant and she and her husband, Brett Randle, are expecting a girl! Aw!
Craig Is In The Hot Seat
Host Andy Cohen jumps right in to Craig Conover’s recent breakup with Paige DeSorbo. When Andy asked Craig if he “missed some of the signs” before Paige split with him, he admitted that when he and Paige “were in private” he did not see any red flags.
Craig shares that Paige split with him over Thanksgiving weekend, but he kept the news from his friends, including Shep Rose, who heard it from Rodrigo Reyes, and Austen Kroll, who shared he had to pull teeth to get Craig to confess that he and Paige were over after they did not travel to London together. Additionally, Andy notes that on a December 12th, 2024, Watch What Happens Live episode, Craig acted like he and Paige were still together.
Craig went on to confess that he didn’t think the breakup “was real.” Something he had said in a WWHL appearance in February. However, when she called him in late December, she let him know that she would be announcing their split on her Giggly Squad podcast.
“All my stuff just showed up on my porch one day. Then it became real.”
The Sewing Down South owner also spilled that Paige was sending him mixed signals like telling him to keep the engagement ring because “maybe we’ll get married at BravoCon.”
Craig also doubled down on the fact that it was not a “mutual” decision to split as Paige had shared on her podcast. He was devastated by the breakup. Andy then asks Craig if it had anything to do with the Summer House star dating “the new guy?” (Paige has been rumored to have started dating a man named Joe D’Amelio two weeks after her breakup announcement).
Craig shared that he asked Paige to “put him out of his misery” if the rumors were true. She admitted that she was “not talking or dating anyone.” In fact, Paige was asking why he wasn’t “trying to get” her back. Craig did not want to beg for her back.
Madison And JT Sort Of Hash Things Out
Andy then focuses on Madison and her husband’s health scare. Brett had kept some of his cancer news a secret from her because she had just dealt with the passing of her father from cancer. However, Brett has since gotten a clean bill of health.
Andy then brings up the infamous and very strange FaceTime call from JT. In Episode 2, JT told Austen, Craig, and Shep about a FaceTime call with Madison and Brett, in which her husband allegedly believed his wife was having an affair with him. JT admitted he was extremely uncomfortable with their line of questioning because they were his friends. Surprisingly, Madison apologizes to JT “for taking it too far.” But, with JT bringing it right back up, she might be taking that apology back.
Shep’s Relationship With Miss Bahamas
We then focus on Shep’s brief relationship with Sienna Evans, the woman he met on a dating app and was “enthralled” by. Of course, Andy points out the one thing everyone was talking about: that cringe-worthy text he sent Sienna. “Perfect freckled lips?” No, thanks.
Out of all of his cast, Molly O’Connell thinks it was very “vulnerable” for Shep to send that lengthy text.
As they continued to discuss Shep getting “karma” for the demise of his relationship with Sienna, he revealed that she reached out to him after she felt that he was sharing “intimate details” on TV that he shouldn’t be sharing. But, Shep just wants to be transparent and, for him, everything is on the table.
All in all, Shep shared that he’s still looking for someone to marry and share a future with. Cue, Molly, who so happens to be sitting right next to him. Shep and Molly share that they hooked up after the season finale and then some. However, Shep has been too busy traveling to continue a real romance with Molly, so who knows what may lie in the future for these two!
JT Continues To Get Eviscerated
Andy kicks off the drama between JT and Venita by starting from the very beginning, when the Season 10 trailer dropped in October. At that time, fans believed JT and Venita’s friendship turning into something more was a fake narrative. However, it was very, very real.
JT also apologized for that time he quit the show mid-season.
“Yeah, my inner b****, um, had a moment,” he said. “I was able to successfully, today, tell it to . . . quiet down, I’m sorry,” he shared.
But, JT kept his girlfriend a secret from Venita and the rest of the cast, despite telling her that he had strong feelings for her. JT tells Venita that she knew he was dating someone, but Venita questions why he would still go to her house while she made him a Branzino dinner. JT is making Venita out to be a homewrecker who knew he was with someone the entire time, but that’s not really fair because of his many mixed signals.
“Last year in this group you performed a f*** boy exorcism. Well, it seems like the f*** boy went into you because you were behaving like a f*** boy.”
The entire cast agreed that JT was hiding his girlfriend for a few months while filming, which was totally unfair to Venita.
Venita gives a complete timeline of her and JT’s relationship. Finally, we get some clarity!
- September 2024: Venita returns from Europe, JT is no longer with his gilfriend. Venita and JT go on dates.
- October 2024: The Southern Charm teaser trailer drops. JT’s “girlfriend” calls Venita “a God d*** rat” on social media. The two no longer date.
- October 28th, 2024: The last time Venita and JT spoke.
JT admits that Venita “ghosted” him for a week after she received nasty messages from his current girlfriend. Venita shared that JT did not reach out to her to clear up all the mess. However, he admits he did. We need receipts and Venita walks off set to grab her phone to do just that.
The second and final part of the Southern Charm reunion will air the following week on Thursday, April 3 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.
