Who Are All Of Southern Charm Star Patricia Altschul's Ex-Husbands?

Speaking to the cast on "Southern Charm" back in 2017, Patricia Altschul offered her own experiences with marriage in contrast to the mostly single young adults sitting at her table. "When I met Whitney's father, we married after three months," she said of her son's dad. "Okay, now ask me about the second one ... two weeks." This might seem like a mighty fast time to go from getting-to-know-you to saying "I do," but Altschul is old-fashioned that way. "There's no mystery or romance anymore. Women make themselves so available," she said in the episode. "You can email somebody an emoji of a glass of wine, they come over and you have sex and they go home. I mean, it's the end of Western civilization as far as I can tell."

Most of what we can tell you about Altschul's first husband, Whitney's dad Lon Hayes-Smith, comes from Altschul and Whitney themselves. In her book, "The Art of Southern Charm," (via The Daily Dish) Altschul says she and Smith first met while she was a student at George Washington University and he was the head of Dun & Bradstreet. Whitney rarely talks about his father publicly, though he did once share a photo of the two of them enjoying a football game on his Instagram. 

Smith and Altschul divorced amicably after 14 years of marriage, according to her, and now, while she's busy holding court on Bravo, he's busy being retired.
