Shep Rose Addresses Molly O’Connell Relationship on Watch What Happens Live
During a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live, host Andy Cohen directly questioned Shep Rose about the nature of his relationship with Molly O’Connell.
Direct Questioning from Andy Cohen
“Shep, are you and Molly dating?” Cohen inquired during the Thursday, March 27 episode of the popular late-night show.
Shep’s Response and Explanation
Rose, 44, responded in the negative, stating, “No, not currently, no.” He further explained, “We spent time together on a few occasions, and it was enjoyable, and she’s wonderful.”
Cohen, 56, immediately picked up on Shep’s perceived hesitation.
“It’s OK,” the host humorously remarked. “You seem like you’re on the witness stand.”
Shep, along with fellow Southern Charm co-stars Austen Kroll and Craig Conover, shared a laugh with Andy in response to his observation.
The Southern Charm personalities were guests on WWHL following the initial installment of the show’s season 10 reunion, which had broadcast earlier that evening.
During the season 10 finale, which aired the previous week, Molly, 37, and Shep were seen kissing multiple times at a cast gathering. It was also implied that they had been intimate, resolving Molly’s previously mentioned period of celibacy. During the Thursday reunion episode, the pair confirmed they had been intimate that night and once more before Shep’s extended travels during the summer and fall of 2024.
“We engaged in some adult fun,” Shep playfully commented.
Some members of the cast, notably Shep’s former girlfriend Taylor Ann Green, expressed reservations about a potential romantic involvement between him and Molly. However, Madison LeCroy voiced her support, indicating that “this version of Shep” is someone she approves of Molly dating.
Molly conveyed her admiration for Shep’s efforts in “actively trying to improve himself” following his acknowledgements of excessive partying. However, their interactions have seemingly not progressed beyond casual encounters.
Shep Rose’s Previous Relationship with Sienna Evans
For a significant portion of Southern Charm season 10, Shep was deeply infatuated with Sienna Evans, with whom he maintained a somewhat defined relationship.
The 26-year-old Bahamas resident welcomed the Southern Charm cast to her home country but reportedly spent limited time with the Bravo show’s personalities, particularly Shep. Their relationship eventually concluded during filming.
Shep and Sienna’s connection initially emerged in early 2024, characterized primarily by a long-distance dynamic. During the recent season of Southern Charm, insinuations arose suggesting Sienna had initially contacted Shep’s fellow cast member Whitney Sudler-Smith. Furthermore, questions regarding Sienna’s intentions surfaced when it was revealed that her grandmother was an avid viewer of the Bravo series.
Sienna Evans Defends Her Actions
Since then, Sienna has utilized TikTok to share videos elucidating the sequence of events, asserting her truthfulness and presenting “evidence” pertaining to her communications with Whitney and Shep.
