"Draft day round two, can't believe it's already been almost four years. Humbled and excited to match for fellowship at Weill Cornell and join manhattanites in complaining about rent, weather, subway rats, and kinda everything else in general," he captioned an Instagram post at the time.
The move comes about a year after Olindo, Cameran Eubanks and Chelsea Meissner all revealed their exits from Southern Charm ahead of season 7, which aired earlier this year.

"They both told production they weren't returning to the show months ago," an insider told PEOPLE in May 2020 of Olindo and Meissner. "Naomi and Chelsea, like Cam, are just tired of the reality TV drama and don't want to live their lives this way."

Olindo began appearing on the Bravo reality series in its third season while dating one of the show's stars, Craig Conover. She remained a recurring cast member during the three years she dated Conover and moved to a full-time star after their split in season 6.
A second source told PEOPLE at the time that Olindo's current relationship with Shah was also a factor for her exit.
"She's seen what reality television can do to relationships and isn't interested in exposing herself again to that kind of scrutiny," the source said. "She's got a great partner in Metul. They are very much in love and there's no reason to mess with that."
