Landon Clements is an American reality television personality, real estate professional, and web designer who gained public recognition as a cast member on the Bravo television series Southern Charm. The show, which premiered on March 3, 2014, chronicles the personal and professional lives of socialites residing in Charleston, South Carolina, and Clements joined the series as a recurring presence before becoming a main cast member.[1] Originally from St. Simons Island, Georgia, Clements became known on the show for her entrepreneurial ambitions, her interpersonal dynamics with other cast members, and her journey through personal transitions including a divorce and career reinventions. Before her tenure on Southern Charm, Clements had a brief appearance on the MTV reality series The Hills, though she later indicated she was not prepared for the spotlight at that time.[2] After departing Southern Charm following its fifth season, Clements relocated to the West Coast and has continued to pursue interests in real estate, design, and lifestyle ventures while maintaining a connection to Charleston and the Bravo television universe.

Early Life

Landon Clements grew up on St. Simons Island, a barrier island off the coast of Georgia known for its Southern charm and coastal culture. Raised in an environment steeped in Southern traditions, Clements developed an appreciation for design, architecture, and the social customs of the American South. Her upbringing on St. Simons Island provided a backdrop that would later inform her personal brand and her affinity for Charleston, South Carolina, the city that would become central to her public identity through reality television.

Details about Clements's family background and childhood remain limited in publicly available sources. What is documented is that prior to her time on Southern Charm, she had established herself in social circles that overlapped with the Charleston socialite scene, which ultimately led to her involvement with the Bravo series. Her Southern roots and social connections played a significant role in her casting on the show, which was designed to showcase the culture, history, and interpersonal dynamics of Charleston's elite social class.[3]

Before gaining national television exposure on Southern Charm, Clements had a brief connection to the entertainment world through the MTV reality series The Hills. She was featured sparingly on that program but ultimately did not pursue a larger role on the show. In later interviews, Clements reflected on this early opportunity, explaining that she turned down a more prominent position on The Hills because she felt she was not ready for the level of public exposure that came with reality television at that point in her life.[4] This early brush with reality television foreshadowed her later career trajectory, though it would be several years before she appeared on screen as a regular cast member on a major cable network series.

Career

Southern Charm

Southern Charm premiered on Bravo on March 3, 2014, and was created to document the personal and professional lives of socialites in Charleston, South Carolina. The series explored Southern culture, the political history of the region, and featured prominent local historical landmarks including Lewisfield Plantation and Mikell House.[5][6] The show was announced as part of Bravo's programming slate alongside other series and quickly developed a following among viewers interested in the intersection of Southern heritage and modern social dynamics.[7]

Clements became a part of the Southern Charm cast during the show's early seasons. She initially appeared in a recurring capacity before being elevated to a more prominent role. On the series, Clements was portrayed navigating several significant life transitions, including the aftermath of her divorce and her return to Charleston from California. Her storylines frequently centered on her efforts to establish herself professionally, her social relationships within the Charleston group, and romantic entanglements with fellow cast members.

One of Clements's most prominent storylines on the show involved her entrepreneurial pursuit of launching a lifestyle website and travel guide. This venture was depicted across multiple seasons and became a source of both dramatic tension and comedic moments on the series, as Clements sought funding and support for the project while dealing with skepticism from some of her castmates. Her professional ambitions were a recurring theme, and the show documented both her successes and setbacks in building her brand.

Clements's interpersonal relationships on Southern Charm were also a significant element of the show's narrative. Her interactions with other cast members, including Thomas Ravenel, Shep Rose, Craig Conover, and Kathryn Dennis, provided much of the dramatic content during her seasons on the series. Her dynamic with Dennis, in particular, was a focal point of multiple episodes and seasons, as the two women frequently found themselves at odds over various personal and social matters.

The show proved to be a significant success for Bravo, leading to multiple renewals and spinoff series. In 2014, the network greenlit additional programming connected to the Southern Charm brand.[8] Spinoffs eventually included Southern Charm Savannah and Southern Charm New Orleans, reflecting the franchise's growing popularity.[9][10] Cast member Shep Rose also received his own spinoff, RelationShep.[11]

Departure from Southern Charm

Clements departed Southern Charm after appearing through the show's fifth season. Her exit was part of a broader pattern of cast changes that the series experienced over its run, with multiple original and early-season cast members eventually leaving the show for various reasons. Other departures over the years included Cameran Eubanks, Naomie Olindo, Chelsea Meissner, and Thomas Ravenel, among others.[12] Ravenel's departure came under different circumstances, as he announced he was quitting the show amid legal issues.[13]

The show continued to evolve following the departures of several original cast members, with new personalities joining the series in subsequent seasons.[14] Despite leaving the main cast, Clements maintained a connection to the Bravo television universe and to Charleston's social scene.

Post-Southern Charm Career

After leaving Southern Charm, Clements relocated to the West Coast, settling in California. Despite the geographic move, she maintained strong ties to Charleston and continued to visit the city regularly. In a 2020 feature, Bravo noted that while Clements was living on the West Coast, "the charm of the East Coast will always lure her to Charleston."[15]

Clements pursued careers in real estate and design following her departure from reality television. Her professional interests in real estate, which had been a theme during her time on Southern Charm, continued to develop as she established herself in the California market. She also maintained her interest in lifestyle content and design work, building on the entrepreneurial foundation she had laid during her television career.

By 2025, Clements described herself as being in her "golden era," a characterization documented in media coverage of her post-show life. Coverage of her activities indicated that she had found a sense of personal and professional fulfillment in the years following her departure from regular reality television appearances.[16]

Return to Bravo

In 2026, Clements made a return to the Bravo television universe with an appearance on Southern Hospitality, a spinoff series set in Charleston. Her appearance on the fourth season of Southern Hospitality marked her first time back on Bravo programming since her departure from Southern Charm. The appearance provided updates on Clements's life and current endeavors to Bravo's audience.[17] This guest appearance demonstrated her continued connection to the Charleston social scene and the broader Bravo franchise, even years after her departure from Southern Charm.

Personal Life

Clements went through a divorce prior to or during her early appearances on Southern Charm, and the aftermath of this personal transition was a recurring element of her storyline on the show. Her return to Charleston following her divorce was depicted as a period of personal reinvention, during which she sought to rebuild her social and professional life in the city.

On Southern Charm, Clements's romantic life was a subject of significant screen time and viewer interest. Her interactions and relationships with various cast members were documented across multiple seasons of the show, contributing to some of the series' central dramatic arcs.[18]

Following her move to the West Coast, Clements maintained a presence on social media where she shared aspects of her personal life, including her interests in travel, design, and coastal living. Her connection to both the East and West Coasts has been a defining aspect of her post-show identity, with her lifestyle incorporating elements of both Southern and California culture.[19]

Recognition

Clements's recognition stems primarily from her role on Southern Charm, which became one of Bravo's notable reality television franchises. The show's success led to multiple spinoffs and renewals, and cast members including Clements became recognizable figures within the reality television landscape.[20]

Coverage of Southern Charm and its cast members appeared in numerous entertainment publications, including People, Us Weekly, Variety, Vulture, The Wrap, and Deadline, among others. The show was renewed multiple times, with Bravo continuing to invest in the franchise through new seasons and related programming.[21][22]

A 2025 analysis of Southern Charm cast members' financial standing included Clements among the personalities whose net worth was examined, reflecting her continued public profile years after leaving the show.[23]
