Buckle up, Charmers — Southern Charm is on fire in 2025, and the drama is coming in hot. From steamy almost-hookups to shocking new beginnings, the cast is proving once again why Charleston’s most glamorous crew never stays quiet for long.
The biggest bombshell? Salley Carson revealed that Austen Kroll almost hooked up with Taylor Ann Green — and now fans are scrambling for answers. During a juicy moment, Salley casually dropped that the two “nearly had sex,” setting the rumor mill ablaze. What really happened between Austen and Taylor? Was it a fleeting night of blurred boundaries or something more?
Taylor, for her part, seems unbothered. Instead of dwelling on past flings, she’s giving her full blessing to Molly O’Connell — who might be exploring a connection with Taylor’s quirky ex, Shep Rose. The girls are keeping it drama-free… at least on the surface.
Meanwhile, Salley is stepping into a new era. She’s made it clear she’s cutting ties with her past, even going as far as blocking her ex-fiancé. “It’s about reclaiming my confidence,” she says — and honestly, good for her. In a cast full of chaotic romances, Salley is choosing peace.
But not all the updates are dramatic — some are downright heartwarming. Madison LeCroy is glowing with joy as she awaits the arrival of her second child — her first with husband Brett Randle. The Southern belle is embracing pregnancy with her signature grace and fire, sharing the sweet journey with fans who’ve watched her evolution over the years.
Between Austen’s secrets, Taylor’s chill attitude, Salley’s new self-love chapter, and Madison’s baby bliss, Southern Charm is delivering the perfect cocktail of chaos and growth this year.
