Posted by Carisa Kissane on Wednesday, May 22, 2024

SOUTHERN Charm star Kathryn Dennis reunited with her children after losing her custody battle to her ex, Thomas Ravenel.

The former couple have two children together: daughter Kensie, six, and son Saint, five.

Kathryn, 30, took to Instagram to share adorable selfies of herself and her two kids outdoors.

Kensie rested her head on top of her mother who was crouched down to Saint's height.

Saint poked his head up from the bottom of the photo and both children were smiling widely.

Although, on the second photograph on the carousel, Saint stuck his tongue out to make a silly face.

Kathryn was wearing a simple black t-shirt and put on sparkly light pink eyeshadow to compliment the subtle pink dye on the ends of her short platinum blonde hair.

The mother's eyes were closed in the second photo, and she looked grateful to be with her children while taking in what appeared to be a wonderfully sunny day in Charleston, South Carolina.

She captioned the sweet snap: "Hoping everyone has a fun and safe Halloween weekend".

Fans chimed in to offer support, as one wrote, "Keep your head high!!!"

Another offered: "Living in the moment [is] what matters."

A third commented: "I always thought & believed you deserved better.

"Beautiful children & you glow these days".

Although some fans even went as far as to speculate that Kathryn may be expecting with her boyfriend Chleb Ravenell, 32.

One fan said: "I have a feeling you're expecting, it's a female instinct."

Another replied: "I feel that same energy."

CUSTODY BATTLE

The Southern Charm star was embroiled in a custody battle with her her ex-husband, Thomas, 59.

Kathryn ended up losing her rights after Thomas accused her of drug abuse and neglect, which she has denied.

She recently broke down in tears because she admitted to "missing her babies."

The Bravolebrity concluded with a pic of her tear-strewn face: "But some days it be like that..."

Kathryn recently spoke candidly about what she’s been going through lately without her kids, and shared on Instagram: “There will be a lot more difficult times than good times when you are without your kids."

KATHRYN'S RAGE

In August, Kathryn slammed the "family court system" as "exhausting" after Thomas won full custody.

Kathryn noted: "It is exhausting to constantly defend yourself from someone who is trying to change reality - it can even make you question what you know happened, or what is true.

"It can be exhausting to live two lives: One for your children and for the world (everything is fine), and the other where you are beaten down by the family court system.

"We see you and we stand with you. You are not alone."

The Sun previously revealed Kathryn temporarily lost custody of her two children, as she now has supervised visitation every other weekend. 

A source told The Sun: “She has supervised visitation during the day Saturday and Sunday every other weekend."

DRUG USE

The insider continued Thomas planned to move to Aiken with the children this summer, as he proposed his plan to the judge when requesting full custody. 

The Sun confirmed the temporary order was filed by the court in February.

Kathryn filed a motion to seal the custody battle in December, which was approved, a clerk for the South Carolina courthouse previously confirmed to The Sun.

With the temporary order under seal, reasons for the custody loss are not available. 

A rep and lawyer for Kathryn declined to respond to The Sun's request for comment at the time.

The Sun broke Thomas’ request to change their custody agreement from joint to primary custody, as he cited Kathryn’s alleged drug abuse and neglect, which she denied.

DANGEROUS TRIP

In South Carolina court records obtained by The Sun, Thomas claimed a mutual friend told him about a recent trip he took to North Carolina with Kathryn, her boyfriend Chleb, Kensie, Saint, and others. 

Thomas claimed the friend said: “He informed me that he witnessed a lot of cocaine use during this trip and that Kathryn had left cocaine within grasp of the children, which he thought was dangerous.”

Kathryn alleged in her court response: “I do not use cocaine so naturally I have not left any out for our children to access.”

She also agreed to take a drug test as long as Thomas “pays for it and takes one as well.”

Kathryn previously lost full custody of the children in 2016 and entered rehab after she tested positive for marijuana. 

In 2018, Kathryn filed for primary custody of the kids after Thomas was arrested and charged with assault and battery in the second degree. 

The couple’s former nanny, Dawn, accused him of sexual assault in 2018.

Thomas pleaded guilty to third-degree assault and battery charges. 

He received a 30-day suspended sentence and was ordered to pay a $500 fine.
