“Southern Charm” star Austen Kroll may be hinting that his romance with Audrey Pratt has quietly come to an end—and fans are already reading between the lines.
Austen Kroll Dodges Relationship Question on ‘Watch What Happens Live’
Austen Kroll raised eyebrows on the July 13 episode of “Watch What Happens Live” when he made a surprise video appearance and didn’t exactly confirm he’s still dating Audrey Pratt.
During a lighthearted exchange with “Sex and the City” star Sarah Jessica Parker, host Andy Cohen asked Austen directly: “Are you still with [Audrey Pratt]?” After a noticeable pause, Austen simply said, “Oh, Andy, watch season 11.”
The Bravo star, 38, had gone public with Audrey in February 2024 during a romantic trip to Mexico. Later that year, he introduced her to his parents on “Southern Charm,” calling the moment intentional. “I have intentionally waited four months to bring home Audrey because I don’t want to do this to my parents—introduce them to a girl that I might not be that serious about,” he shared in a confessional. “Let’s just be honest: in the past… I’ve been addicted to the mess.”
At the time, Austen seemed committed to making things work. “Audrey’s about as ‘go-with-the-flow’ as it gets,” he said on the show. “I really think it comes from me being an open and transparent person to her. Shocker that that’s what it takes to make a relationship work, but it’s been, like, revelatory.”
Even his ex, Madison LeCroy, gave the couple her stamp of approval during a “Watch What Happens Live” appearance in December. “Austen’s telling me he found his Brett,” she said, suggesting they were “end game.”
How Austen and Audrey Met—and What Comes Next
Austen previously told E! News that he met Audrey during a dinner outing in his hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina, where Audrey also lives. “I met the right person and couldn’t ignore it,” he said. After a quick connection—and a baseball game—they started dating in December 2023.
Audrey, 26, is a Cary, North Carolina native and East Carolina University graduate who now works as an account executive at a staffing firm. She made her “intentional” Bravo debut on “Southern Charm” during the season 10 premiere in December 2024, where she was shown meeting Austen’s parents. Although she keeps her Instagram private, Austen began featuring her on his page in May 2024 with a post from a Carolina Hurricanes game.
When the couple first discussed bringing their relationship to reality TV, Austen said they had open conversations. “She was like, ‘It’s important to you, so I’d be willing to dip in my toes and do things with you,’” he told The Daily Dish.
“Southern Charm” season 11 is currently filming and is expected to premiere on Bravo later this year or early 2026.
These men have serious issues. They cannot be in a committed relationship. It’s like a disease. It seemed on the show that he thought being with her was good because he probably felt pressured since Craig was with Paige, etc… He did not seem to be in love with that girl at all.
So are they or aren’t they together?
