The Southern charm The cast is no stranger to drama, but according to the star Shep Rosetwo cast members in particular will feel the heat during the show’s Season 11 reunion.
“I mean, Craig (Conover) i Austen (Kroll) they are,” Shep exclusively said Us Weekly while walking BravoCon 2025 red carpet in Las Vegas on Friday, November 14. “It’s eye-opening, its differences. And it’s real, and it’s, it’s raw.”
When asked if he thinks the pair can maintain a friendship after the show, Shep, who considers them a dear friend, gave a candid answer.
“They can,” he said we. “They are both very tough and stubborn.”
One of the problems Shep believes affected the couple is Craig’s tendency to “dive into” their relationships. After their very public split from Paige DeSorboCraig was single and therefore more available to his friends, for better or for worse.
“I think you’ll see that he, for all intents and purposes, isolated himself and really immersed himself in their relationship,” Shep said of Craig’s previous romance. “I don’t recommend it. I think you have to keep a good balance, because when it doesn’t work, unfortunately, you have to recalibrate and rewire.”
He continued, “What if you’d stayed connected all the time and been a little more open with your doubts and fears, which we all should, like, you should be vulnerable. It’s not a bad thing.”
For the uninitiated, Craig endured a very public breakup with her Summer House to cost Paige announced in December 2024 that she and Craig had split after sparking a romance in 2021. Paige later revealed that she broke up with Southern charm set in November 2024 during Thanksgiving weekend.
Shortly after their split, the couple clashed online, sharing conflicting accounts of their breakup. Craig claimed he was “shocked” at the end of their relationship, while Paige was busy denying she cheated on her ex.
“What do I look for in a guy?” DeSorbo asked while reading a question during a February episode of his “Giggly Squad” podcast, apparently removing the quotes for now. “For them to go away, that’s what I’m looking for. For them to turn around and not talk to me, that’s probably No. 1 on my list. So this Valentine’s Day, it’s all about me.”
News later broke that Craig had joined celebrity-endorsed dating app Raya, which he later admitted was just an attempt to gain “validation”.
“It didn’t feel as good as I thought it would,” he said Andy Cohen in February
Although his friend and co-star went into isolation, Shep had nothing but positive things to say we about how Craig came back into the fold now that he’s single.
“I think he does a fantastic job,” Shep said we. “I’m happy. I like single Craig.”
Shep also supports Craig’s many endeavors that also keep him away from his friends, endeavors that don’t involve women.
“Whitney and I and Austin spend a lot of time together,” she explained. “We love Craig and we keep in touch with Craig. Craig is a busy man. He’s running around and I respect that and support him.”
