She’s currently single, but Salley Carson from Southern Charm is no stranger to Bravo boyfriends. Last season, she was massively pining over Craig Conover. So, let’s take a peek inside Salley’s dating life and her previous relationships from Southern Charm.

Salley’s first reality TV relationship was when she appeared on The Bachelor with Clayton Echard. She very quickly hightailed it out of there, however, as she rejected his offer of the very first rose. This came after she called off her previous engagement to Avery Bulchholz, so it didn’t come as a surprise.
She called it off after she discovered he cheated on her, just weeks before her wedding was scheduled. “I got a text or a DM that said, ‘Hey girl, I’m really sorry. I’ve been hanging out with your fiancé,” she revealed on Not Skinny but Not Fat.
Even though she joined Southern Charm in season 10, she has a history with some of the cast members. Salley’s hooked up with Shep and recently revealed during Bravo Fan Fest 2026 that it happened “like six years ago.”
Her first Bravo appearance was on Southern Hospitality, when she went on a date with Joe in season two. Apparently, she lied about kissing Gaston before her date with Joe, and they called it off.
Salley and Gaston Rojas “dated for three months,” she shared on the show. Gaston was also apparently dating her Southern Charm co-star and Shep’s ex, Taylor, at the time, which created some major drama. “I obviously don’t have anything good to say about him.”
Then, her new boyfriend, Andrew Dietz, also made a few appearances on the show, and he was actually Taylor Ann Green’s ex-boyfriend. So the four essentially had a partner swap, and Salley and Andrew bonded over their former exes now dating.
Last season, viewers saw Salley pining hard for Craig, but he eventually friend-zoned her. After multiple late-night hot tub sessions, though.

She branched out into Bravoverse and had a brief fling with Steven Jr. from McBee Dynasty. “Our personalities weren’t…he’s a great guy, he’s amazing, but our personalities didn’t match,” she shared at BravoCon 2025.
Salley was then linked to two Summer House stars, West Wilson and Kyle Cooke. She and West “hung out at BravoCon 2025”, but nothing serious ever materialised. Kyle and she, on the other hand, had “romantic sparks” on “some nights.”
Salley also had an on-and-off relationship with Austen, but they’re not dating at the moment.
As of now, Salley is single. “I mean, I’m definitely doing new things this season that I haven’t done before.”
