The Southern Charm Season 10 reunion continued with Part 2 on April 3, and so did the group's conversations about everyone's relationships — including one of the most surprising: Austen Kroll's label-official romance with Audrey Pratt.
Given his dating history on Southern Charm, it wasn't entirely a shock to the cast that Austen had to fend off rumors at the beginning of the summer. As host Andy Cohen put it on the reunion episode, "[There's a] conspiracy theory that Austen cheated on Audrey. Leva Bonaparte, this actually came from you."
In quick flashback to Season 10, Episode 1 as shown on the reunion episode, fans saw Leva question the authenticity of Austen's relationship. "Since last summer, he's been dating her?" the restauranteur asked Jarrett "J.T." Thomas.
"Yeah," he confirmed.
"They've been dating for that long?" Venita Aspen chimed in, adding, "Something's not adding up on that timeline."
Seemingly agreeing with Venita, a visibly surprised Leva revealed, "I've met a whole bunch of girls who say that they've dated Austen."
"Rodrigo Reyes was saying that they had been girlfriend-boyfriend for like, a year, so it was the timeline" that she was talking about in the Sprinter van, explained Leva.
The Republic Garden & Lounge owner continued, "And I apologized to Austen, because that's not what I meant by it."
"Right, right," Austen confirmed.
Without confirming or denying that he had been seeing anyone else, the Trop Hop founder admitted that he initially met Audrey "six months prior to us being, like, an official relationship."
No, the long-distance loves are not engaged — at least not yet. In an interview with The Daily Dish in December 2024, Austen explained that he's "certainly one of those people [who] would take, like, three years before I even began to think about popping a question or, you know, something like that."
They're at least one year in to the committed relationship, so time will tell!
As of April 2025, Audrey still lives in Charlotte, North Carolina, not far from Austen's parents.
Speaking to the Daily Dish, he confirmed that "she's gonna live in Charlotte for another year."
As for how Austen feels about keeping things across state lines for now? Per the Trop Hop founder, "That's completely fine, because there's no rush to me."
