Mia Alario, the multifaceted personality known for her roles as a financial analyst, feisty bartender, and reality TV star on Bravo’s Southern Hospitality, has often faced challenges in the love department, as witnessed by fans on the show.
However, in a turn of events, Mia has declared that she may have found the right recipe for love with a mysterious man she met during the filming of Season 2. In December 2023, Mia revealed that her motto of “work hard, party harder” now includes a plus one – a mystery boyfriend who captured her heart.
Although she has not disclosed his identity to fans, Mia, who is 26 years old, has assured viewers that they will witness her “falling in love” in real-time during the current season of Southern Hospitality.
Despite the relatively new relationship, Mia emphasized that this mystery man had managed to hold her attention in a way no one else had in the past 2-3 years. While maintaining secrecy about his identity on social media, where she has a substantial following, Mia hinted that fans can expect the romance to unfold on the show.
“Southern Hospitality” Star Mia Alario is “Happy” That Shep Rose was Targeted for His Flirtation
Speaking at a Bravo event in November at Republic in Charleston, South Carolina, she mentioned Shep Rose, “Everybody here in Charleston knows the person that he is. It’s predictable for him to try to do that to somebody here.”
What did catch her off guard, however, was Shep making advances toward her, especially considering her reputation for calling out inappropriate behavior. This trait will significantly impact the events of Southern Hospitality’s second season.
“I’m surprised he tried to do that to me because I’m the loudest mouth out of anybody in Charleston. I would be the only person to say something,” she expressed.
Shep’s actions have undoubtedly fueled the ongoing drama in Southern Charm Season 9, culminating in a recent explosive confrontation between him and Taylor at his mountain house, where he callously admitted to occasionally enjoying cheating on her during their relationship.
Ultimately, Mia expressed satisfaction in being the “catalyst” for Taylor to end the relationship finally. Watching the aftermath unfold on screen has been “easy” for her.
Mia Entered Into a New Relationship After the Drama from Season 1
This newfound love is a refreshing change for Mia Alario after the drama she experienced in Season 1 of Southern Hospitality, mainly involving her co-star, Shep Rose.
During a January 2023 appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Mia revealed that Shep, her “geriatric” co-star, had made advances towards her despite dating their fellow cast member Taylor Ann Green.
Mia handled the situation promptly, responding to Shep’s actions by informing Taylor about the incident. She emphasized her commitment to honesty, expressing that if roles were reversed, she would appreciate someone informing her of any potential unfaithfulness.
Mia’s ability to navigate romantic entanglements with grace and transparency has not gone unnoticed by fans. Her love journey unfolds in Season 2 of Southern Hospitality, airing on Bravo on Thursdays at 9 p.m. EST. Viewers eagerly await the soft launch of Mia’s mysterious beau as their love story develops on-screen.
While Alario remains cautiously optimistic about her new relationship, she inspires fans to join her on the journey through Season 2 of Southern Hospitality. “I’m excited because the first season was a nerve-wracking experience, but now we’ve settled into it,” she shared.
“We know how we appear on camera from every angle, whether standing or sitting. I’ve already experienced tears, drunken moments, and screaming. The first season allowed us to get all of that out of the way. In the second season, we can delve into the nitty-gritty and share more about our lives.”
For Peña, this depicts her ongoing struggle with boss Leva Bonaparte, as the trailer suggests her pleading for her job back. Having devoted seven years to the Republic, Peña hinted at her regret, acknowledging that she “should have known better” than to engage in activities that led to trouble.
However, she noted the apparent inconsistency, noting that “some people get by doing the same things” without facing consequences.
Mia Alario was more direct in her criticism, highlighting the “hypocrisy” her friend experienced. She expressed her perspective from corporate America, emphasizing her belief in distinguishing between right and wrong.
Mia Alario asserted that bending the rules for some while holding others accountable goes against her upbringing and professional values. She found it challenging to witness such a situation and added, “I do have a safety net with another job, making it easier for me to voice my opinions and speak up.”
