Everything was on the table at the Southern Charm Season 10 reunion.
Host Andy Cohen was ready with cards stacked with questions for the cast: Craig Conover, Shep Rose, Austen Kroll, Madison LeCroy, Salley Carson, Taylor Ann Green, Jarrett “JT” Thomas, Rodrigo Reyes, Leva Bonaparte, Venita Aspen, and Molly O’Connell. Special guest and beloved Charleston icon Patricia Altschul also made a special appearance, marking her first reunion — ever (!).
Lucky for you, The Daily Dish was on hand at the taping, which took place in NYC in February 2025. Now we're here with the inside scoop on all the incredible moments that didn’t make it to air.
Go behind the scenes of the Southern Charm Season 10 reunion
The Charm-ers got a taste of a blistering cold and wet New York City weather as they made their way to set. During glam, Madison kept her distance in her dressing room to keep her big pregnancy reveal a surprise.
Reunion host, Andy Cohen, was ready on set by 11:06 a.m. Soon after, a gaggle of people were bustling around minutes prior to the taping. Shep was the first to arrive on the set and greet Andy, with Austen closely following behind. The latter marveled that he and Andy were both wearing velvet jackets. “I’m the only one without a tie. Maybe I should’ve worn a tie,” Andy said as the rest of the cast trickled in.
A production crew member reminded the cast that no phones are allowed on set, which left one cast member responding in joking disbelief, “No receipts?!” (Though now we know this rule didn’t stop Venita from getting her receipts when the time came).
Fun fact: The Southern Charm Season 10 reunion set, in case you were wondering, was inspired by Patricia's Charleston home.
By 11:28 a.m. last looks with the cast’s makeup teams were finished and Andy kicked off the “milestone season” reunion.
In one moment, Andy complimented Taylor’s reunion look, saying, “It looks like it’s from the Ariana Madix reunion collection.”
During a break from filming, Andy pulled out his phone and filmed an Instagram Story with Craig, teasing Craig's WWHL appearance fresh off the news of his and Paige DeSorbo’s break-up.
Craig Conover’s secret message with his Season 10 reunion look
While some of the cast was celebrating the end of the shoot day or waiting to take their solo pictures, Craig shared some of the customized craftwork he put into his tuxedo.
He opened his tux jacket to reveal the words “Smile You’re on Camera” stitched in red thread above his pocket. His custom suit lining had a pattern of red skulls, and red stitching surrounded the last cuff button on both of his sleeves.
The Sewing Down South business owner also gave a shoutout to his love for sewing with the words “Pillow Prince” embroidered on the inside of his collar. He's worn the customized, decked out tux to weddings, Craig revealed to The Daily Dish.
How the cast left the Southern Charm Season 10 reunion
By 7:07 p.m., the shoot day wrapped — and although they touched on a variety of emotional subjects, including some heartbreak, Madison’s exciting news of a baby girl on the way, and tensions between the cast — the day marked a rare reunion where no tissues were needed.
Shep took in the details of the set, even trying to take his cast portrait off the wall as a keepsake. A few other castmates were more successful in taking a piece of Bravo history home with them. Molly and Salley each snagged a Southern Charm branded cue card from the floor for safekeeping.
