Ryan Albert is the fresh face joining Bravo’s hit show Southern Charm. He’s not just good-looking—he’s also here to represent the LGBTQ+ community in the South. As a longtime friend of the original cast, Ryan is ready to share his life and bring something new to the show.
His story is personal and powerful. Ryan is in a gay marriage, but his parents haven’t accepted him and his husband yet. Being on the show gives him a chance to open up about this and maybe inspire others who are going through something similar.
Growing up in a small town, Ryan didn’t see much LGBTQ+ representation. He mostly learned about it from TV. Now, he wants to be that kind of role model for others. His message? Life gets better, even if it’s hard right now.<.p>
Of course, this is Southern Charm, so there’s plenty of drama too! Ryan loves a bit of gossip and isn’t afraid to stir things up. He knows there will be challenges, but nothing scares him anymore. He’s ready for it all.<.p>
Ryan isn’t the only LGBTQ+ star on the show—Rodrigo Reyes is also part of the cast. But don’t expect them to become instant best friends. Just because they’re in the same community doesn’t mean they always get along, and that’s what makes the show so fun to watch.<.p>
