Shep Rose is endearing on Southern Charm, but he never really stirring the pot or causing controversy. He is just entertaining for being adorable and a little lost in his career, but he rarely ever brings the drama. That’s why I was pretty shocked to read the outrageous comments he made in an interview to promote the show.
To be honest, he was saying a lot of what we were all thinking, but Shep is normally Mr. Neutral, so I was taken aback to read quotes from him questioning Kathryn Dennis and Thomas Ravenel’s tumultuous relationship. He even raised doubts about the paternity of their second child which is a pretty wild thing to say this long after the baby has been born.

I would never personally involve myself with anything that involves the up-and-down relationship between Kathryn and Thomas (other than writing this article- obviously). I just would never want to be caught up in that firestorm of drama, so that’s why I’m so shocked that Shep of all people made comments about Kathryn and Thomas’s son St. Julien Rembert Ravenel. If there’s anything that would bring the two of them together on the same side of controversy, it would be defending their child and his conception.

In an interview with People, Shep explained that he was surprised by the news of the second pregnancy since the two were no longer together when their son was conceived: “I didn’t believe it. Nobody did. I heard it was a rumor.”
Shep was not sure if Thomas was even the father. He told People, “I don’t know what either of them were thinking but my first thought was: Is it his baby? That was all of our thoughts because they weren’t dating at the time. And she was dating other people.” Again, I don’t get why anyone would make these comments long after the baby was born, but I guess Shep wasn’t really thinking.
He did clarify that it couldn’t possibly be his child, which I’m sure was a relief: “It certainly wasn’t mine. I slept with her first season, but statute of limitations tells you it can’t be mine.” I didn’t even think that it could be his, but I guess it’s good that he set the record straight on that one?

Shep also said, “Honestly it was probably not the best idea, but what do I know? Her life as a young lady, [the time] you might want to have fun, is over. So I empathize with that, but it totally takes two to tango.” It doesn’t seem like the pregnancy was planned, so I don’t feel like it was anyone’s “idea,” but a child is always a blessing so I’m sure that Kathryn and Thomas are very happy about their son, no matter how awkward the timing may have been.
