Sienna Evans DENIES Stalking Southern Charm Cast – Claims She Didn’t Even Know About the Show!
Sienna Evans, who was introduced to fans as Shep Rose’s love interest, is opening up about her hesitations to film, her true relationship with Shep, and why she wasn’t exactly feeling Craig Conover on the cast trip to the Bahamas—her home country. During a recent appearance on the Bravo & Blaze podcast, Sienna clarified that her relationship with Shep wasn’t as serious as some may have thought.
“We had never defined our relationship to say … ‘you are my girlfriend and I’m your boyfriend and we are going to be exclusively seeing each other,’” she explained. “I didn’t really expect for there to be so much coverage of our relationship. I didn’t think it was going to be that big of a topic … I was very shocked by that.”
Despite Shep claiming earlier in the season that Sienna had “ghosted” him before the trip, she insisted they had only spent time together “six or seven times.” Sienna also addressed Shep’s claim that she promised to stay with him during the cast trip. She admitted she felt hesitant about filming, as she values her privacy and wanted to set boundaries before appearing on camera.
“I just became very apprehensive about filming because … I’m someone who really values my privacy, and so I really wanted to have a conversation and talk about what do I deem as appropriate … and what I wanted to be filmed,” she shared. One major concern? She didn’t want to engage in any romantic scenes on camera.
“I don’t want to be on television kissing someone that I’m not married to, or any suggestive scenes,” she explained. Sienna also opened up about the night she and Shep exchanged “I love yous,” which he later claimed was a sign of their deeper connection.
According to Sienna, the moment happened when Shep called her while “inebriated.” Looking back, she admitted watching the season unfold made her emotional. “I was sad watching the episodes back, as I now believe he really did love me,” she confessed. “I just wish that … we [had] taken it a little slower.”
She revealed that they broke up shortly after the cast trip and doesn’t believe Shep has any interest in seeing her again after how things ended. Throughout the season, rumors swirled that Sienna was already a Southern Charm fan before dating Shep, with Whitney Sudler-Smith’s mother, Patricia Altschul, even suggesting that she sought him out on the Raya dating app.
Sienna shut those claims down, saying she had no idea who Shep was when they matched. “When I originally matched with him on the dating app, I did not know who he was, and I didn’t know about the show,” she stated.
However, she did admit to watching the show shortly before the cast trip to get more context on Shep’s life—something she now realizes she probably should have done sooner. She also denied claims that she reached out to Whitney before Shep, calling it an “untrue narrative” and saying it was purely coincidental that the two men knew each other.
Another moment that caught viewers’ attention was Craig Conover’s claim that Sienna’s “energy was off” when they arrived in the Bahamas. According to Sienna, she wasn’t exactly open to Craig right away because Shep had complained to her about his strained friendship with him.
“Shep had been complaining that his relationship with Craig was so tumultuous,” she explained. So when Craig made his comments, Sienna said she was already feeling wary of him.
“I had my guard up around Craig and gave him a bit of a side-eye,” she admitted. Now that her brief Southern Charm romance has played out on screen, Sienna says she’s single and focused on moving forward. As for Shep? It looks like their chapter is officially closed.
Southern Charm airs Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
