The much-anticipated first installment of the Southern Charm Season 10 reunion was unveiled on Thursday, March 27, 2025. Hosted by the charismatic Andy Cohen, this episode delved into notable cast dynamics, including Craig Conover’s emotional journey following his breakup with Paige DeSorbo, as well as a heated exchange between Madison LeCroy and Jarrett “JT”Thomas regarding past accusations and misunderstandings.
Recap of Southern Charm Season 10 Reunion Part 1
Craig opened up about the circumstances surrounding his split from Paige, revealing that the couple’s relationship had officially ended in November 2024, though Paige had emotionally moved on prior to the public confirmation of their breakup. He relayed to Andy Cohen, “I didn’t think it was real,” reflecting the profound shock he experienced during their separation.
Craig recounted a pivotal visit with Paige following his December 2024 appearance on Watch What Happens Live, where she confided in him:
“I’m probably making the worst mistake of my life, but I need to go find myself.”
In a poignant moment, he discussed the engagement ring, noting Paige’s whimsical suggestion: “Keep it. Maybe we’ll get married at BravoCon!” He navigated through the timeline of their breakup, revealing how their continued conversations led to an emotional reckoning when Paige publicly announced their split on her podcast. Addressing the drastic shift in Paige’s demeanor after their breakup, Craig observed:
“To me, the person that she’s kinda been since the breakup isn’t the person I remember dating.”
Amidst swirling rumors of Paige dating someone new, Craig directly confronted her about it. He stated, “I asked her, ‘Please just tell me if you’re with another guy?'” Although Paige reassured him she wasn’t seeing anyone, Craig expressed frustration when she later questioned his efforts to win her back, asserting that he had been trying all along. He sternly remarked:
“I knew you shouldn’t be with someone you have to beg to be with.”
Tensions Rise Between Madison and JT
Another major storyline that fueled the drama in this reunion episode involved Madison LeCroy and JT Thomas. During the season, accusations surfaced suggesting that JT had implied Madison’s husband, Brett Randle, believed JT had an affair with Madison.
When confronted by Madison, JT attempted to clarify, claiming the discussion with Brett was more about general concerns rather than direct accusations. However, Madison was not convinced, staunchly asserting:
“You need to understand my family, I will go to the end for that.”
Despite JT’s attempts to apologize and explain his side, Madison interrupted him, ultimately bringing their exchange to an abrupt conclusion.
Shep’s Reflections and Rising Tensions
The episode also featured insights into Shep Rose’s breakup with Sienna Evans. Andy described their split as a “slow car crash,” while Shep admitted he fell short of meeting her expectations. The brief romance with Molly O’Connell was touched upon as well, with both participants confirming they enjoyed a playful connection.
As the reunion progressed, JT found himself under scrutiny from the cast regarding his past relationship with Venita Aspen, who accused him of concealing his current girlfriend, Ali Pereless. The atmosphere grew tense, and Salley Carson japed, “Who’s the f*** boy now?” prompting Andy Cohen to hint at further drama, stating, “It’s about to get worse!”
Fans of Southern Charm can look forward to more revelations and confrontations in the second part of the reunion, scheduled to air on Thursday, April 3, on Bravo.
