Southern Charm season 9 has ushered in a brand-new love triangle possibility for the cast to debate over, involving Austen Kroll, Taylor Ann Green, and Shep Rose. Shep and Taylor were together for years, but broke up in 2022 after having some tough times. Though Taylor had quit her job in order to travel the world with Shep, she ultimately found herself alone, having to rebuild her life after their tumultuous relationship ended. For viewers of Southern Charm, the series has been one of the most interesting reality TV series for years, especially when it comes to Shep’s relationship drama.
Shep, who’s been on Southern Charm from the beginning, was branded as the permanent bachelor of the series after moving from relationship to relationship for years, not getting into anything serious. He even had his own reality TV series on Bravo, RealtionShep, where he tried to find his perfect match. Shep was certain he’d found it in Taylor, but things didn’t last for the couple, and now they may be in worse shape than ever before. With Southern Charm season 9 exploring their lives post-relationship, things are rockier than ever for the exes and their mutual friend Austen.
Taylor & Shep Dated For Two Years
Shep and Taylor met in mid-2020, quickly getting together and beginning to take on the world as they traveled around together, keeping their relationship quiet. The pair seemed happy even though they had their share of ups and downs. In 2021, Shep kissed someone else and admitted it to Taylor, who forgave him. The pair continued to get more serious, sharing their lives on Southern Charm and social media. Though he had been single for the majority of his time on the series, Southern Charm viewers enjoyed seeing Shep settling down.
They Broke Up & Shep Cheated
In July 2022, it was reported that Shep and Taylor had broken up. Though some Southern Charm viewers were finding it difficult to believe, their relationship was rocky throughout the then-airing season of the series. In an appearance on Watch What Happens Live in August 2022, Shep confirmed their split. Later that year, Taylor shared that Shep had hooked up with someone just weeks after they’d broken up. She blasted Shep on the Southern Charm season 8 reunion. Taylor, who’s been close friends with Shep’s good friend Austen throughout their relationship and her time on Southern Charm, may have just burned any bridge she had left with her ex-boyfriend.
Taylor & Austen Allegedly Hooked Up During Southern Charm Season 9
Austen and Taylor got closer through the years, and though the two of them seemed like a great fit, both denied that there was any attraction between them. While the pair said nothing happened, it came to light that Taylor and Austen shared a kiss after their respective breakups, Austen’s with Taylor’s close friend Olivia Flowers. Though they’ve since denied anything else happening, the buzz around Southern Charm season 9 is that the two have likely hooked up. While the drama is still playing out on screen, no one’s certain what the truth about Austen and Taylor’s relationship genuinely is.
Southern Charm airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
