From Craig Conover to Ms Patricia, here’s how old all the Southern Charm cast members are
Some of these are actually so suprising
Southern Charm season 11 is basically a big Charleston reunion. The OG social-season staples are back, and they’re mixing with a whole new flock of fresh faces.
The cast covers the full spectrum, from seasoned Charleston staples to fresh arrivals trying to find their place in the mix.
So, let’s get into just how old everyone is…

Shep’s big day comes around on September 27. He was born in 1980, so he’s a Libra on the zodiac.
He enters season 11 aiming for a bit more stability. After a rough patch last year, he’s focused on buying a new house rather than jumping into another messy situationship, per Bravo.
Even so, he still gets caught up in the simmering conflict between Craig and Austen, with rumours and betrayals threatening to put one of his closest friendships in jeopardy.
Austen Kroll – 38

He was born in 1987, making him a Gemini.
This season, Austen is re-evaluating where he stands, both in love and in friendship. Rumblings of trouble in his relationship with his longtime partner and escalating tension with Craig hint at major emotional turmoil ahead.

As the Grand Dame of Charleston society, Patricia returns to host her lavish parties and dispense candid wisdom, a steadying presence amid all the chaos, as always.
She’s 84 years old and celebrates her birthday on April 16. Aries sign Patricia was born in 1941.
Her appearances often punctuate major cast drama, adding elegance and a touch of old-money perspective when relationships and loyalties get messy.

Patricia’s son, Whitney, was born on June 2, 1968. He’s a Gemini.
Whitney may not be front-and-centre, but he and his mother Patricia remain the backbone of the old Charleston elite, and he continues overseeing their home and legacy.
His perspective as a long-time member, friend to many, and occasional mediator, gives him a unique vantage point on all the unfolding drama and shifting alliances this season.
Madison LeCroy – 35

Madison enters season 11 navigating major life changes at 35 years old.
She’s expecting a baby and balancing that with Charleston’s naturally chaotic party scene, staying sober when many around her aren’t.
Her ongoing storyline blends motherhood, self-care, and old-school Southern drama, and she’s not shying away from calling out misbehaviour when she sees it. She’s a true Libra.
Madison celebrates her birthday on October 6 and was born in 1990.
Venita Aspen – 32

Next up is Venita. She’s 32 years old.
This season, Venita wrestles with the emotional aftermath of a difficult relationship with an ex and navigates growing tensions within her friend group, especially surrounding dating and loyalties, per DISH.
She was born on October 16, 1993, making her a Libra like Madison.
Rodrigo Reyes – 40

Rodrigo returns as a voice of blunt honesty this season: engaged to Tyler and ready to hold his ground, even when his opinions stir the pot among friends.
His straightforward nature, combined with emotional stakes in the group, makes him a potential grounding force when chaos strikes.
Rodrigo’s exact birth date isn’t widely known. But, he’s 40 and celebrates his birthday in October.
Salley Carson – 29

As one of the newest full-time cast members, Salley arrives with her eyes on romance, and her interest in Craig seems to stir jealousy, questions, and shifting alliances within the group.
Her presence shakes up old patterns, and her choices this season may hold big consequences for friendships and loyalties.

Molly brings bubbly energy and a quirky edge to season 11.
She’s working on her music career, but also confronting stage fright, all while stirring tension by being unafraid to call others out.

Charley Manley – 27

Charley joins the season 11 cast as a relative newcomer.
She’s a pageant-queen–turned–Charleston newcomer whose beauty and charm don’t go unnoticed, which immediately sparks jealousy and competition among women in the group.
As she adjusts to Charleston life and the Southern Charm social scene, Charley’s presence introduces fresh tension and possibilities, especially in the triangle swirling around Craig.
Per her Instagram page, she turned 25 on February 5, 2023. So, we can assume she’s now 27 and is an Aquarius.
Whitner Slagsvol – 36

Whitner joins as a relative newcomer this season, a friend of longtime member Shep Rose and a former law-school mate of Craig’s.
His background as a lawyer and outsider status in the social circle give him a unique lens to evaluate group drama.
Whitner shared an Instagram post on May 13, 2017, with the caption: “Couldn’t have asked for a better group to help me ring in 28! Solid job with the colour scheme.”
Some reports suggest he’s 30, but from this, we can estimate that he’s now 36 years old.
