Exes, Grief, and Grace: When Southern Charm's Shep and Taylor Remember Worth Together

There’s a particular kind of bond that forms when two people who once loved each other choose to show up for something bigger than themselves. That’s what happened when Southern Charm star Shep Rose, 46, and his ex Taylor Ann Green, 31, gathered with her parents on June 8 to mark the third anniversary of her brother Worth’s death in 2023.

What could have been awkward — exes reuniting, the weight of grief in the room — became something else entirely. Rose posted a photo from the meal to his Instagram Story, describing the group as“some of the finest people I’ve ever known”and paying tribute to Worth as a“fellow rapscallion.”The gathering felt less like a tabloid moment and more like what it actually was: people who genuinely care about each other choosing to remember someone important together.

The timeline matters here. Rose and Green dated from 2020 to 2022. By the time Worth passed away in June 2023 — roughly a year after their split — Rose didn’t hesitate to show up. Green later revealed on“The Viall Files”podcast that Rose was one of the first people there for her family.“He drove up to Raleigh and was there to be with me and my family,”she said.“He was good friends with my brother.”That kind of presence, especially from an ex, carries weight.

Of course, the internet being what it is, people immediately speculated about whether Rose and Green were rekindling things. Green has since shut that down, noting that she’s moved on with other relationships and made it clear she wouldn’t go backward. But her words about Rose reveal something worth noting: she described him as someone who cares deeply, someone who respected her enough to show up when it mattered most. That’s a different kind of love than romance — and maybe that’s the real story here.

Three years into grieving her brother, Green still has people in her corner who understand what Worth meant to her family. And Rose proved that exes don’t have to be messy. Sometimes they can just be friends who show up when it counts.
