Southern Charm: What We Know About Thomas’ Fiancée Heather Mascoe

Heather Mascoe is former Southern Charm star Thomas Ravenel’s new fiancée and the mother of his nearly one-year-old son. The pair revealed they were an item last summer after Heather gave birth to their first child together. The news came as a shock, seeing as no one knew Thomas was even in another relationship. In fact, his ex-girlfriend and mother of his first two children, Kathryn Dennis, was surprised to hear Thomas had another girlfriend, let alone was expecting another child.

Viewers were initially introduced to the former politician during the first season of the famous Bravo series. Thomas was one of the first people in mind for the show, as it was initially supposed to focus on the men of Charleston. However, the series creator, Whitney Sudler-Smith, took a different direction and decided to produce a show that centered on the young professionals of Charleston. After five seasons on the show, Thomas was fired for allegations of sexual assault and battery and has since moved on from his time on Southern Charm.

But who is Thomas’ fiancée, Heather Mascoe? According to Us Weekly, Heather is a 38-year-old registered nurse who works in Charleston, much like Thomas’s ex-girlfriend Ashley Jacobs, who is now engaged to Mike Appel. Besides Thomas’s interest in nurses, he also enjoys dating women who are much younger than him. Heather is 19 years his senior, similar to Ashley and Kathryn, who are more than 20 years younger than Thomas. She and the 58-year-old briefly dating during the summer of 2019 and rekindled their romance later that year. Following the revival of their relationship, Heather and Thomas welcomed their son, Jonathan Jackson Ravenel, in July 2020. However, the baby boy wasn’t the first for Heather or Thomas.

The nurse shares a son and a daughter with her former partner, Leo Chiagkouris. Allegedly, he doesn’t approve of her relationship with the former reality star. Leo, a well-known restaurateur in Charleston, reportedly knew of Thomas, as he put up a banner above his restaurant with a list of Thomas’ past legal issues in August 2019. As for Heather’s involvement with her ex, the relationship ended in 2014 after Leo accused her of running up bills on his credit card. She was later arrested, but Leo dropped the charges against her and the case was dismissed.

Now, it seems Heather has finally found love with Thomas. Although the couple split before the birth of their son, they got back together quite quickly and are now engaged to be married. Even though Thomas hasn’t been the best partner in the past, he seems to truly love Heather. Not only does she fit his type, but she understands what it is to be in a nasty battle with an ex-partner. Hopefully, Heather is the one because it’s time for Thomas to finally settle down.
