Former "Southern Charm" star Taylor Ann Green traded the south for the high seas in her return to Bravo.
Green appeared in the Oct. 12 premiere of "Below Deck" Season 13, marking her reality TV homecoming after exiting "Southern Charm" in 2025.
The athleticwear brand owner joined the show as a guest on the first charter of the season. She and then-boyfriend Gaston Rojas appeared as friends of the co-primary charter guests, Kenny and Christina Haisfield.
Green joined "Southern Charm" in its seventh season in 2020 while dating cast member Shep Rose. She announced her exit from the show in 2025 after Season 10.
"These past 5 years with NBC and Bravo have been some of the most crazy but exciting times of my life," she wrote on Instagramat the time.
Here's what to know about her "Below Deck" appearance.
Taylor Ann Green weighs playing matchmaker in 'Below Deck' appearance
The "Below Deck" Season 13 premiere episode had more than a few Bravo Easter eggs.
While Green is well known to "Southern Charm" fans, Rojas, her boyfriend at the time of the episode's filming, has ties to another Bravo show, "Southern Hospitality."
Green said during the "Southern Charm" Season 9 reunion that Rojas – who she confirmed her split from earlier this year – was roommates with "Southern Hospitality" star TJ Dinch.
During Green's "Below Deck" episode, she weighed setting up Dinch and chief stew Fraser Olender.
"That's why I'm like, 'Are you single?' Cause our friend is single, and it makes sense," Green said to her fellow charter guests.
Elsewhere, Olender discussed his relationship with comedian Matt Rogers during the premiere. The pair agreed to take a break from their relationship during the charter season, he said.
'Below Deck' charter guests have 'Southern Charm' ties
In addition to Green's ties to "Southern Charm," the primary charter guests are also connected to the Bravo universe.
Kenny Haisfield, one of the primaries, owns tropical clothing brand Kenny Flowers. Its products have appeared on "Southern Charm," according to the brand's website.
"Y'all have created, like, a family — not just a company, but a family," Green said while toasting the Haisfields during the episode.
Green's "Below Deck" stint won't be the end of her time on Bravo this year; she'll also appear on "Southern Charm" Season 12 when it airs in November, though not as a main cast member.
