‘Southern Charm’ star Kathryn Dennis is ‘focused on building a better life’ with her children
Bravo fans first met Dennis when the reality series debuted in Charleston in 2014. She met Thomas Ravenel during season 1, and by the end of filming that year they were expecting a daughter, Kensington Calhoun, who is now 9 years old. The following year, they welcomed their son Saint Julien in November 2015.
Dennis’ time on the show was dominated by her combustible relationship with Ravenel, now 61, which led to many accusations from him about her sobriety and ability as a mother. They fought for years to resolve their long-running custody battle, which they finally did in 2019, and continued to work on their co-parenting dynamic after the breakup of their romantic relationship.
PEOPLE confirmed in January that Dennis was leaving Southern charm after eight seasons.
