Why did Shep and Taylor split? Will We See Taylor Southern Charm Season 10?

Taylor Ann Green couldn’t get along with her castmates during Southern Charm season 9, but what has she been doing since the season ended? Taylor first appeared on the Bravo reality show in 2020 during Southern Charm season 7 as Shep Rose’s new girlfriend.

At that time, the two appeared to be very much in love, and many people thought Taylor and Shep would last forever; even their fellow cast members supported their relationship.

However, after dating for two years and dealing with several cheating rumors, Taylor and Shep broke up in mid-2022.

The breakup was tough for Taylor since Shep had cheated on her several times during their relationship. She didn’t handle the situation well, which led to her kissing Austen Kroll, a fellow cast member and one of Shep’s friends.

The problem was that Austen was also the ex-boyfriend of Taylor’s best friend and former castmate, Olivia Flowers.

This act of betrayal led to the entire Southern Charm season 9 cast turning against Taylor, leaving her isolated. Let’s hope Taylor has a better experience during Southern Charm season 10. Now that some time has passed, what is she doing now?

Taylor’s New Relationship

More than a year after her breakup with Shep, Taylor confirmed during the Southern Charm season 9 reunion in mid-2023 that she was in a new relationship. His name is Gaston Rojas, and he has strong connections to the Southern Charm cast.

He was even mentioned on Leva Bonaparte’s spin-off show, Southern Hospitality, as the roommate of cast member Tj Dinch. Since Tj is very close to Taylor, that’s likely how Gaston and Taylor started their relationship.

The couple is still going strong in 2024, as Taylor recently posted a photo of them together on Instagram in Baltimore on June 30.

Taylor’s Modeling Career

After the season ended, Taylor spent time with her new boyfriend, Gaston, and she also tried her hand at modeling. In November 2023, Taylor posted a series of photos on Instagram of herself modeling a wedding dress.

The dress was from the designer Essense of Australia, promoting their new bridal collection for Spring 2024. Taylor looked stunning in the photos and received a lot of praise in the comments.

As for whether Taylor will be back for Southern Charm season 10, she is making a return as she was announced as one of the full-time cast members last month.

Taylor still spends time with some of the current cast members, like Leva; however, she does have some drama with one of the new cast members, Salley Carson, who dated Taylor’s current boyfriend and even admitted to sleeping with Shep.

Cast members like Craig Conover confirmed his return and the return of his fellow castmates, Shep and Austen. Even Madison LeCroy confirmed she’s coming back and filmed some confessionals earlier this year.

During the summer, according to the Queens of Bravo Instagram account, it seemed like Taylor might not return to the show. It appears that Taylor may have filmed but didn’t stay the whole time or only filmed a little, which led many to believe she would just be a friend of the cast instead of a full-time member.

Now that the cast for Southern Charm season 10 is confirmed, fans can be relieved knowing Taylor will be back on TV.

Since Taylor was asked back for Southern Charm season 10, it seems she spent her 2024 filming the new season. It’s not clear when production for season 10 began, but since the season will premiere on December 5, it likely started late last year and continued into the middle of 2024.

Despite having a tough season 9, Taylor wasn’t going to let fans think she was the bad person she was made out to be. From the Southern Charm season 10 trailer, it looks like Taylor might actually win fans over as newcomer Salley tries to create drama with her.

Salley, who once dated Taylor’s current boyfriend, Gaston, and admitted to sleeping with Taylor’s ex, Shep, might help Taylor become a fan favorite again or at least not be one of the most disliked people on the show.

Salley’s casting likely helped Taylor, and hopefully, it made her 2024 a bit better in terms of her TV career. Speaking of her career, Taylor recently shared a new project she is working on. On December 1, Taylor posted about her new company, Reset Athletic. She owns the brand with Haven & Spruce Creative, a creative director and stylist.

Taylor’s new brand was announced at the end of October, with several posts from the Reset Athletic Instagram page giving followers a preview of what’s to come. A quick look at their Instagram shows the brand has a very subtle style, with mostly cooler tones.

The vibe is cool-girl athleisure wear, which has been popular for a few years. Taylor revealed her involvement with the brand in early December, just days before the premiere of Southern Charm season 10.

Taylor has made her return to Southern Charm season 10 after a difficult season 9. She has changed a lot since the last season and has become a very different person compared to when she was in a relationship with Shep. With Olivia no longer in the picture, Taylor should have a much better season this year.

Reason Behind Their Breakup

Taylor Ann Green confirmed on the August 12 episode of Watch What Happens Live that she and her former boyfriend of two years, Shep Rose, have broken up, but there’s more to their story than what has been shared so far.

The confirmation came after host Andy Cohen asked if there was one specific incident that led to their split in late July. “No,” Taylor responded. “What’s being portrayed is not the stick that broke the camel’s back.”

The couple had been open about their relationship struggles on Southern Charm, most of which were due to Shep’s repeated cheating and commitment issues. Even when it seemed like they were making progress on the show, in confessionals, Shep often contradicted the promises he made to Taylor, admitting he still just wanted to stay single, while Taylor was eager to get married.

Watching this back hasn’t been easy. “I think everything that’s showing nine months later is proving to be true, that that’s the way he still thinks,” Taylor explained, adding that she isn’t interested in being friends with Shep right now. “He wants to be, but that’s having his cake and eating it too. So, no, I’m not about that. Not for right now, at least.”

Talking more about Shep’s reluctance to marry, Taylor said she thinks his hesitation is “definitely” because he doesn’t want to be the first person in his family to get divorced—a topic Shep opened up about on the August 11 episode of Southern Charm.

“I come from a family where literally there’s zero divorce, so the bar is high,” Shep said. “If you fail at marriage, you failed at something. That’s not something anybody wants to say they did.”

Taylor gave more details about their breakup on WWHL, saying she would “have to assume” Shep wasn’t fully faithful to her throughout their two-year relationship (excluding the kissing incident he admitted to in 2021).

Craig Conover made similar comments about Shep’s loyalty on a recent episode of Southern Charm, but Taylor said Craig isn’t the most trustworthy source. “Craig is an embellisher,” she explained, “so he definitely embellishes the truth a lot.”

Looking ahead, Taylor isn’t ruling out all Bravo men. When Andy offered to set her up with any Bravolebrity, Taylor said she’s interested in “blonde Tom,” a.k.a. Tom Schwartz from Vanderpump Rules. Luckily for her, he’s recently single.
