The Highs & Lows of Kathryn Dennis & Thomas Ravenel’s Past Relationship Were Shown on ‘Southern Charm’
Viewers saw the ups and downs of Dennis and Ravenel’s relationship during the first few seasons of “Southern Charm” as the former couple welcomed their two children. They split for good in 2016 and Dennis described their breakup as “a long time coming” in an interview with The Daily Dish.
At the time, Dennis told the publication that co-parenting was a “work in progress” but said, she was “confident that we’ll reach a place in time where we can peacefully do that.” Since then, viewers have learned that the two have battled over custody, with the most recent update coming in 2023.
On May 1, 2023, All About the Tea reported that Ravenel was awarded granted permanent sole custody of their two children. “I make all the parenting decisions,” he told the publication. Kathryn has the right to supervised visitation by an approved supervisor [approved by the court] between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., every other weekend.”
He said he’ll bring the children from his home in Aiken, South Carolina, to a point halfway to Charleston, where Dennis will pick up the kids. The two cities are just over 130 miles apart.
