We’ve unearthed some photo proof that Madison LeCroy has come a long way and that she’s definitely lived an interesting life. Part of her journey has been documented on Southern Charm over the years, but she’s also taken fans inside her life as a kid and young woman by sharing throwback photos that highlight her bond with her family, the many chapters in her life and career, as well as her devotion to her son, Hudson (and soon she’ll be a mom again, more on that below).
In fact, these throwback snapshots really prove how much love Madison has for her family. She grew up in South Carolina with a tight-knit family and some big dreams — and her old photos highlight a fun-filled childhood. Madison is one of three kids in her family, as she has a brother, Sam, and a sister, Kaci, who pretty much looks exactly like her, as seen in the photos below.
Who are Madison LeCroy’s parents?
Madison’s parents are mom, Tara LeCroy, and her late dad, Ted LeCroy.
In early 2025, Madison shared a look at life with her mom, Tara LeCroy. Prior to that, in Dec. 2023, she remembered her late father, Ted LeCroy. “He’s the greatest gift, your memory will drive me forward every day. My forever superhero,” she wrote in the caption of her Instagram tribute to him.
Madison is good at making hilarious jokes and sassy comments on Southern Charm, but these throwback photos prove that she was filled with personality from a very young age. Madison posted a photo of herself as a child, dressed as Minnie Mouse, to her Instagram account in 2016, and lamented how hard it must have been for her parents to raise someone with that much sparkle.
“My poor mother had to deal with this!” she captioned the adorable photo.

As a hairdresser (with a Charleston salon opening in the future) who can sport a good outfit, Madison has some serious style. And even as a child, she was a little fashionista, who knew how to pose for the camera.
When Madison became a teenager, she took her passion for posing to the pageant world.
Inside Madison LeCroy’s pregnancy with son, Hudson
During Southern Charm Season 7, Episode 1, Madison opened up about her first marriage and her pregnancy with her now 12-year-old son, Hudson. “When I found out I was pregnant, I definitely wanted a son,” she explained during an episode confessional. “I feel like I’m a boy mom. I know people say that and they’re like, what does that even mean? But could you imagine like me in a miniature version? I mean, that would be like hell on earth.”
Madison took to Instagram in August 2012, just two months before she gave birth to Hudson in November 2012. In the hilarious picture, Madison can be seen caressing her bump with a pacifier in her mouth.
Madison LeCroy’s journey as a young mom
Madison has always posted looks at Hudson to her Instagram account, including when he was a baby, and these photos show just how adorable he was as a little boy. Seriously, he could not be cuter.
During the Southern Charm Season 7 premiere, Madison shared insight into her split from her ex, who is Hudson’s dad. “I was 20 when I got married,” she stated. “And I had Hudson when we were 22. And we divorced when Hudson was 3 years old.”
In an interview with The Daily Dish in December 2024, Madison gave an update on her co-parenting relationship with her ex. “Obviously, we were very young when we had Hudson, and I was very shocked at how quick that we realized it wasn’t about us, and it was about Hudson and what’s best for him,” she said. “And I think we both have done a wonderful job at keeping that the main priority. I think we’re actually doing pretty good at that.”
