Taylor Ann Green was introduced to fans of Bravo's reality TV show Southern Charm during the show's 7th season.
At the time, the racy blonde, 29, was dating the fun-loving ladies' man Shep Rose, 44.
The pair kept their relationship under wraps while filming the show's seventh season, but fans speculated they were in a relationship.
Taylor Ann and Rose went public with their relationship in May 2020 before announcing their split two years later in July 2022.
"We spent two and a half years together. You've allegedly slept with over 300 women," Taylor Ann said about her split from Rose during Southern Charm's Season 8 reunion special.
"You went out. You partied. Now, you've wrapped me into this slow of whores who you've been f**king.
"Now, I'm just a number, and that's what f**ked me up in the head. I was just the whore that lasted the longest."
Rose addressed his ex's comment, saying he was dealing with personal issues and admitted to still loving Taylor Ann.
"There were some [issues] in the way that we looked at the world," Rose explained sometime after the Season 8 reunion.

"[I will] always be in love with her. I love her. That's all you need to know.
"She's fantastic [but to] get back together, I don't know. I think that maybe I'm not the best for her. It sounds like a cop-out. I swear it's not."
