See Sienna’s Awkward Reaction to Shep Rose Declaring He’s “in Love” With Her - lulu

In a new preview for Season 10, Episode 11 of Southern Charm — set to air Thursday, February 20 — Shep Rose tells Sienna Evans he loves her ... and she doesn't necessarily react accordingly.

The conversation goes down while the cast is in the Bahamas — a trip that some of Shep's friends think was planned as a way for him to track down his hard-to-reach girlfriend. For their first moment alone in a month and a half, Shep shows the beauty queen his outfit of the night. (She'd left him alone to put it on.) Seeing him, she claps and says he looks amazing.

"I love it," she adds as he sits down. Though they're supposed to meet everyone from dinner, he obviously wants to linger as it's been a while since he's seen her.

Shep Rose admits his feelings for Sienna

"Sienna, um, obviously we both came out of the gate awfully hot and it was very passionate and wonderful. That's true, right?" he says, to which she replies they "had a lot of fun."

But his speech isn't over.

"And then it got hotter and heavier, as far as what we were saying to each other. And I've thought that maybe the universe had brought us together. You had mentioned to me, like, 'Oh we would have the prettiest babies. We would have these beautiful kids who were smart [and] they'd be connected to nature and the ocean and we would just live all over the world and have adventures.' This was in my mind."

Taken aback, Sienna says that she "never knew" he was thinking like that.

"I was. I know. You made my life better. You made me want to be a better man," he says. "I'm wildly, wildly attracted to you. And I'm actually in love with you."

Sienna's reaction? A slow blink. Oof.

Sienna's response to Shep Rose's confession he loves her

When she does respond, she says that because they'd never actually defined their relationship, she didn't know that's how he was feeling. But now she does!

"Let's just hold it there," says the businessman before unpacking the awkward moment in a confessional. "Life is way too short to ignore a strong feeling about somebody, you know? In a relationship," he says. "Because guess what. It doesn't happen every day. Trust me, I know."

And with that, they head out (and they're late for dinner).

To see what happens next during the fated Bahamas trip, turn into Southern Charm on Thursday, February 20.
