The reality star, 55, has been a key cast member of the show since season 1, with his tumultuous relationship with ex Kathryn Dennis and the birth of his two children playing out on screen. He is currently dating Ashley Jacobs.

In May, it was revealed that the South Carolina police are investigating allegations of sexual assault brought against the Southern Charm star by “nanny Dawn,” who was featured on the show caring for Ravenel’s two children, daughter Kensie, 4, and son Saint, 2½.

Ravenel, a former South Carolina state treasurer, has denied the accusations.

“My client enjoys a certain degree of fame, which has unfortunately made him a vulnerable target for such claims,” Ravenel’s attorney, Richard P. Terbrusch, told PEOPLE in a statement responding to Ashley’s allegations. “The person this woman describes is simply not the man that I know. My client is a loving father, successful businessman, and upright member of the community. He is appalled and hurt by these allegations — and is committed to defending his reputation in the appropriate legal forum.”
