Is Shep Rose Still Dating Sienna Evans Aka Miss Bahamas?

Southern Charm Season 10 sees both Shep Rose and Taylor Ann Green in brand-new relationships. The pair had dated for nearly two years before splitting in 2022. Their split played out in Season 8 and spilled out in Season 9 of the Bravo reality TV show, but it appears that the exes have fully moved on from one another.

In Season 10, Episode 2, viewers were introduced to Shep's new love interest, Sienna Evans. She lives in the Bahamas and is, in fact, Miss Bahamas. In a confessional, Shep admits to being "enthralled" by her, but his castmates have some serious questions about her true intentions. With filming of Season 10 taking place in the spring and summer of this year, what is the current status of Shep and Sienna? And, did she really join the show for fame?

Shep Rose Gave Fans An Update On His Relationship With Sienna Evans At Bravo Fan Fest

Shep Rose is coming into Season 10 as a taken man after introducing viewers to his new girlfriend, Sienna Evans. He was over-the-moon about his partner, who is not only stunning, but is Miss Bahamas. The reality star shared that the couple were in a long-distance relationship as Sienna lived in Nassau, Bahamas, but during a FaceTime conversation with her, he revealed that he'd happily travel to see her at any moment.

"Sienna is very smart, driven and independent, flying here and there and modeling. And she got into med school."

However, their relationship was short-lived after Shep revealed at Bravo's Fan Fest in November that he was single. However, he didn't want to go into detail as fans will watch what happens between him and Sienna in Season 10. "I don't know if I want to reveal because of Season 10, but I was right there and I got pretty cut down, let's just say," he said. "And it's all out there for everyone to see, so."

Shep expressed at Fan Fest that it was long-distance that was one factor in their split, calling it "tough." However, in Episode 2, Shep had no problem traveling to the Bahamas at any time. The reality star had also appeared to move way too fast, revealing that he dropped the L bomb by the second weekend they had seen one another. Detailing his whirlwind romance with Sienna, he shared:

"Obviously, Taylor and I's relationship ended, and I was convinced that I wouldn't meet anyone that I felt strongly about for a while. I don't know why I thought that, I was just like, it's hard to find — and it is hard to find — but sometimes it can happen right on top of each other after a relationship. And I thought that that was this, and I was super optimistic. And we were saying very, very nice things to each other."

At Fan Fest, Shep also admitted just how single he was when he revealed he was on the dating app Raya. However, he made a big change to his profile—increasing the age of his potential matches from 26 and up to "28 and above."

Fans Found It Distasteful When Shep Compared Sienna To His Ex, Taylor Ann Green

While Shep was detailing Sienna's impressive resume, which included being a very independent woman who models across the globe and attends med school, he made a very distasteful comment about his ex, Taylor Ann Green. "She's a lot of things Taylor wasn't," he shared in a confessional.

In a Reddit thread which discussed Shep's off-handed comment, fans found him incredibly rude. In one example, they recalled how Shep allegedly encouraged Taylor to leave her job as an orthodontist's assistant so that they could travel the world when they were dating.

"He praised Sienna for being an “independent, jet-setting model” who got into med school and even called her a “big baller” because she has her own thing going on despite being younger than Taylor. But let’s not forget—Shep literally asked Taylor to quit her job so they could travel the world together. Taylor gave up so much of her independence to fit into the lifestyle he wanted, and now he’s using that against her? Believe me I’m no Taylor Ann stan, but the hypocrisy this man child spews is wild!"

Another commenter wrote, "I was so embarrassed for him when he said that. Did he think it would make him look better?" While this one read, "It[s] crappy because what has he earned? He gets passive income from his family. Taylor had an actual job when she met Shep. Like, sir, you’ve earned what in your life? Where have you worked?"

"He absolutely doesn’t want her back but he doesn’t want her to be happy with someone else either. He’s a lonely bitter man child I’m not surprised to went on a whole rant about how his current girlfriend is better, it’s very on brand for him!"

Sienna Evans is 18 years younger than Shep.

These fans were also shocked when Shep had the audacity to state in his confessional in Episode 2, that Taylor's family was upset that they were no longer together. "I know that her mom and dad wish she was still with me. And her grandfather and grandmother, and her whole family," he stated. "

In the same Reddit thread, a commenter wrote, "Bleh! And then his comment about “knowing” Taylor’s family wishes she was still with him 💀💀💀 the guy is so embarrassing."

"Yes! He's clearly trying to rile her. Comparing his current girl friend, saying that about her family and trying to text her. I don't think he wants her back, but he definitely wants to keep her on the line in some way.."

After the teaser trailer for the episode with Shep's comments aired, Taylor fired back at her ex. Taking to Instagram, she called Shep "delusional."

“Let me shout from the mountain tops that both my parents, my grandparents, and yes, even my recently late grandfather all couldn’t be happier that I’ve moved on and am in a much better, happier, and healthier relationship," she wrote.'

Was Sienna Just A Huge Fan Of Southern Charm?

The Season 10 trailer sees both Madison and Miss Patricia finding out that Shep's girlfriend, Sienna, might just be a "superfan of Southern Charm." Of course, this was going to raise red flags and a lot of talk among the charmers.

During the premiere party for the new season in New York City in December, Venita Aspen told E! News that Sienna was, in fact, using Shep. "I think it was really sad to see a fan use him, because I think Shep was actually in love with her. And this is the first time we see Shep in love and she just used him," she revealed.

Venita expressed that Sienna had a boyfriend while dating Shep and after filming, they made a "joke" out of it.

"There's a whole TikTok of her actual boyfriend floating around on the internet. She had a boyfriend that she decided to post after we were done filming."

Oddly, Madison also shared that while Sienna was not a "stalker," as she had mentioned on the show, it was "more so her grandmother. It gets weird. Her grandmother runs a fan page."

During an interview with Page Six's Virtual Reali-Tea podcast, Shep revealed that he didn't have any regrets about bringing Sienna on the show, but he did "get a little taste of my own medicine."
