Shep Rose is calling out Southern Charm costar Madison LeCroy after she claimed he won’t get married “anytime soon.”
“I take umbrage to that,” Shep, 45, exclusively told Us Weekly on Friday, November 14, while attending BravoCon 2025 in Las Vegas. “I’m actually excited about a couple different girls from different locations.”
The reality star confessed, “I haven’t gone out with them, like, officially, but they’re sweet and nice, and we’ll see which one sort of takes.”
Shep clarified that he doesn’t “have” a girl in every area code, but rather that he has met a few women recently that he finds “interesting, sweet” and “kind.”
He joked that the ladies “probably look me up,” which creates an “uphill battle” for him in the relationship department thanks to his years of being on Southern Charm.
Shep’s remarks come after he and costar Taylor Ann Green called it quits in July 2022 after two years of dating.
Shep then romanced model Sienna Evans, who lived in the Bahamas, throughout season 10 of the Bravo series. Their relationship came to an end when his friends joined him for a vacation in the Bahamas and she revealed she didn’t see a future with the reality TV star.
When it comes to season 11 of the show, Madison, 35, exclusively told Us that fans shouldn’t expect her male counterparts to stop being their “Peter Pan” selves just yet.
“These guys don’t have any intention of settling down and starting a family. They low-key enjoy the thrill of these toxic relationships,” Madison revealed earlier this month.
She teased, “Over my dead body do I think I’ll witness Shep walking down the aisle anytime soon.”
Madison, however, said she thinks Craig Conover “might be the only one” to get married first between him, Shep and her ex-boyfriend Austen Kroll.
Salley Carson, who finds herself in a love triangle with Craig, 36, and newbie Charley Manley this season, told Us that she disagrees.
Salley, 30, pointed out in November that after Craig and Paige DeSorbo split in fall 2024, she saw “a completely different side of Craig — in a bad way.”
Craig, for his part, told Us earlier this month that he’s just navigating his new normal as a single man in Charleston.
“When there’s a shift in your life, there’s no playbook for it,” he explained. “I didn’t plan on having to go out anymore in my life, but how else do you meet someone?”
While Shep told Us on Friday that he doesn’t like Madison’s assessment on his road to marriage, he previously told Us that he does think he, Austen, 38, and Craig have all earned their Peter Pan titles.
“Are you kidding? How much more evidence do you need?” he said with a laugh, while Austen told Us during a November sit-down that he hopes they can break that stigma in time.
“Shep and I just had a conversation where I said, ‘God, man, do you think it’s gonna happen?’” Austen confessed to Us.
Southern Charm matriarch Patricia Altschul also weighed in on the question of which of her costars will get hitched next, telling Us at BravoCon, “That’s a tough one.”
“I think [my son] Whitney [Sudler-Smith], if he found the right woman, would settle down,” she revealed. “I don’t see any immediate commitments from any of the guys. Maybe the girls, but I don’t think so.”
Southern Charm season 11 premieres on Bravo Wednesday, November 19, at 9 p.m. ET.
