“We get to see a side of Shep that we’ve never seen before. “Shep’s vulnerability when talking about a relationship we’re about to experience with him is really refreshing and interesting,” said the Sewing Down South founder. “I want to give him a lot of credit for being honest…people get into uncomfortable situations in their lives. We are all living for the first time; Nobody has done that yet. And sometimes there’s a temptation to keep things under wraps until you figure them out.

This is the first year shit is getting real, at least for me.”
