Career

Southern Charm

Reyes joined the cast of Southern Charm, a Bravo reality television series set in Charleston, South Carolina, for its eleventh season. The show, which follows the personal and professional lives of socialites in Charleston, had been on the air for several years prior to Reyes's introduction to the cast. His addition brought new interpersonal dynamics to the series, and he quickly became involved in storylines centering on the relationships between established cast members.

A significant portion of Reyes's screen time and public commentary during Season 11 revolved around his observations of the relationship between Craig Conover and Austen Kroll, two long-standing cast members known for their complex friendship. In a December 2025 interview with Decider, Reyes described the dynamic between Conover and Kroll as deeply intertwined, comparing it humorously to the film Brokeback Mountain. "It's like our own little 'Brokeback Mountain,'" Reyes stated, referring to the two men's inability to fully separate despite frequent tensions. He characterized Conover and Kroll as frenemies who "can't quit each other."

In January 2026, Reyes made headlines within reality television media when he publicly discussed revelations about Craig Conover. Reality Tea reported that Reyes "dropped a bombshell" about his castmate, though the specific details of the disclosure generated considerable discussion among fans of the series.

Also in January 2026, Reyes publicly defended Austen Kroll following an incident that many viewers characterized as uncomfortable and insensitive. According to All About The Real Housewives, Reyes "stood firmly behind" Kroll, demonstrating loyalty to his castmate during a period of viewer criticism.

As the season progressed toward its reunion episode, Reyes provided commentary suggesting that significant confrontations lay ahead. In interviews published in early March 2026 by both Yahoo Entertainment and AOL, Reyes stated that Craig Conover "had a lot to answer for" at the Season 11 reunion. Reyes indicated that Conover had experienced "a roller coaster season" and that "all eyes" would continue to be on him during the reunion taping, suggesting unresolved conflicts that would be addressed in the reunion episodes.

BravoCon and Broader Bravo Appearances

Reyes participated in BravoCon, the large-scale fan convention organized by the Bravo network that brings together cast members from various Bravo reality series. During the event, Reyes interacted with personalities from other Bravo programs, an experience that was not entirely positive. In a January 2026 appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Reyes named Shannon Beador, a cast member from The Real Housewives of Orange County, as his least favorite person he encountered at BravoCon. According to Decider, Reyes described Beador as "very rude and very condescending" during their interaction at the event.

In addition to discussing interpersonal dynamics at BravoCon, Reyes appeared on the Watch What Happens Live After Show during Season 23, Episode 18, where he discussed his interest in home design. During the segment, Reyes named his favorite home designs from across the Bravo television universe, showcasing his knowledge of and interest in interior design and aesthetics.

Interior Design and Other Interests

Reyes has demonstrated a notable interest in interior design, a subject he has discussed in his Bravo media appearances. His commentary on home design during the Watch What Happens Live After Show indicated familiarity with design principles and an appreciation for the aesthetics of homes featured across various Bravo programs. While the full extent of his professional background in design has not been extensively documented in available sources, his discussions on the topic have contributed to his public profile beyond his role on Southern Charm.

Personal Life

Reyes's personal life has been a subject of discussion in connection with his Southern Charm appearances. In January 2026, Bravo reported exclusively on Reyes's wedding planning, revealing that his castmates Craig Conover and Austen Kroll were playing significant roles in his upcoming wedding. The report indicated that both Conover and Kroll had been enlisted to help with the special day, reflecting the close personal bonds Reyes had formed with his fellow cast members despite the on-screen tensions that characterized much of the season's narrative.

The involvement of Conover and Kroll in Reyes's wedding planning suggested that the relationships among the cast members extended beyond what was depicted on the television series. Despite Reyes's public critiques of Conover's behavior during the season and the various conflicts that arose during filming, the wedding planning details indicated a genuine personal friendship among the three men.

Recognition

As a first-season cast member on an established reality television series, Reyes attracted attention from reality television media outlets throughout the 2025–2026 season. His candid interview style and willingness to comment on cast dynamics resulted in coverage from publications including Decider, Reality Tea, All About The Real Housewives, Yahoo Entertainment, and AOL. His appearances on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen further raised his profile within the Bravo television ecosystem.

Reyes's comments about Shannon Beador at BravoCon generated particular media attention, as they intersected with ongoing public interest in Beador's conduct and reputation within the Bravo community. The story was covered by Decider and circulated among reality television fan communities.

His involvement in the Season 11 reunion of Southern Charm was positioned by entertainment media as a notable event, with his pre-reunion interviews generating anticipation for the reunion episodes among viewers of the series.
