“LOVE ON THE EDGE”: Austen Kroll REVEALS Hidden Tensions With Audrey Pratt, Suggesting Their Relationship Is Fractured and Fans Could Be Witnessing the Beginning of the End
Austen Kroll's girlfriend Audrey Pratt and their relationship will be discussed during Southern Charm Season 11. The official trailer for the new season hints at what's to come from the couple, suggesting some major changes between them.
According to the announcement for the new season, Austen is "beginning to have doubts about his future with Audrey after nearly two years together. The group can see the signs, including him adopting two new cats on his own, but their meddling antics isn't what Austen wanted."
The Southern Charm Season 11 trailer above gives a further look at the changes in Austen's relationship with Audrey. "Me and Audrey, not going to lie, it's been easy," Austen tells ex-girlfriend Madison LeCroy in the trailer, before she asks him if he's "bored."
Austen's relationship eventually gets discussed by his newly-single business partner Craig Conover. "Two girls just randomly said that their roommate hooked up with Austen," Craig tells Shep Rose during a party.
Later, Austen can be seen kissing Salley Carson, before exchanging words with Craig and Shep. Craig then throws an accusation Austen's way, declaring, "You told me that you were jealous that I was single!"
While more about Austen's love life will be revealed when Southern Charm Season 11 premieres on November 19, read on to learn about the ins-and-outs of Austen's relationship with Audrey and their previous plans for the future together.
How did Austen Kroll and girlfriend Audrey Pratt meet?
Austen and Audrey first met in Charlotte, North Carolina, where she was living.
"I met her [when] I was out with a husband [and] wife, and we were getting drinks before dinner," he told The Daily Dish in December 2024. "We're sitting at a table, Audrey walks in with, like, a group of girls...and they sit at a table kind of adjacent to us."
He didn't approach her until he ran into one of her friends by the bathroom, who urged them to connect. "She was like, 'You should reach out to Audrey,' and I was like, 'Oh, that's her name.' And then I was like, 'No, it's awkward now because you're telling me to.' Anyways, long story short, I took her to a baseball game in Charlotte and that is how we met."
When did Austen Kroll start dating Audrey Pratt?
Austen and Audrey first started dating in December 2023, according to People. During Southern Charm Season 10, Episode 1, Austen revealed that he first met the Charlotte resident "last summer."
Austen Kroll opens up about his relationship with Audrey Pratt
Austen admitted during the Southern Charm Season 10 premiere that his relationship with Audrey was still a bit strange for him. "It's still weird to tell people, like, 'Hey, this is my girlfriend. This is my girlfriend, Audrey.' You know, for me definitely it is a big step," he said.
Later in the episode, during a conversation with Craig, Austen revealed that their relationship marked something major for him. "You know, typically, my move is to just hang out with someone a bunch and not define it because I'm too chicken s—t to say something," he said. "But with Audrey, I am the one that brought it up. I was like, 'We should define the relationship.'"
Austen Kroll and girlfriend Audrey Pratt talked about having kids
Both Austen and Audrey have talked about their future together. During Southern Charm Season 10, Episode 6, Austen introduced her to his parents, and they even talked about starting a family together. "Audrey wants four [kids]," Austen told his mom.
"I just want a big family," Audrey confirmed.
"One step at a time," he noted with a smile.

Austen Kroll says he put "no pressure" on his future with Audrey Pratt
In his December 2024 interview with The Daily Dish, Austen admitted that he wasn't ready for an engagement with Audrey, and was in no rush to shorten the distance in their long distance relationship.
"Where do I see it going? I mean, look — there is no pressure whatsoever, and I'm not putting pressure on this of like, when are you gonna move here or what are you gonna do?" he said.
"At this moment, it's just working out the way that it should work," he continued. "It's a three-hour drive, and we typically don't want too long to see each other, right? Unless it's like, completely out of our control, but we typically see each other every week."
And when it came to talking about moving in together, Austen said that they "never really" approached that subject. "I am 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."

Austen was very coy about his relationship status when he made a surprise appearance on WWHL on July 13, where he told host Andy Cohen to "stay tuned" about the status of his relationship. "Oh, Andy," he said, not revealing anything else.
Red Sox Legend David Ortiz Savagely Trolls Yankees After ALDS Blowout
No one loves a Yankees loss quite like Big Papi...

Few things can numb the pain of a playoff exit, but at least the Boston Red Sox are getting to watch their arch-rivals get curb-stomped.
Two days after eliminating the Red Sox in the Bronx, the New York Yankees traveled north for the first two games of the American League Division Series against the Toronto Blue Jays. But it seems as though their talents were left on this side of the border.
In Games 1 and 2, the Yankees got outscored 23-8, and it really wasn't that close. They trailed 12-0 on Sunday evening as Toronto laughed its way to a 2-0 series lead. One more loss, and the Yankees will join the Red Sox on vacation.
David Ortiz crushes Yankees on postgame show
Red Sox icon David Ortiz is famous for tormenting the Yankees in the batter's box, but he's also made a habit of laughing at their pain as an analyst for FOX Sports. And after the Blue Jays' second blowout in as many days, Ortiz made sure to drive home the Yankees' misery.
Responding to former Yankees great Derek Jeter saying New York's garbage-time rally on Sunday might have woken the bats up a bit, Ortiz dropped a downright hysterical bit of analysis about what it would take for New York to get back in the series.
"I love you so much, but the only chance the Yankees have is if you, Mo (Mariano Rivera), Andy (Pettitte), and A-Rod (Alex Rodriguez) come back and play," Ortiz said to Jeter and a cackling desk of co-hosts, including Rodriguez.
"Reggie Jackson, Babe Ruth, all of them," he continued. "Joe DiMaggio... Roger Maris..."
Losing to the Yankees in the playoffs for the first time in 22 years was a real blow to the ego for Red Sox fans, so this series has been quite cathartic so far, especially when Ortiz is there to rub salt in the wound.
It wouldn't be a great look in hindsight if the Yankees wind up coming back and sweeping the final three games of the series, but Toronto sure looks tough to beat right now. Game 3 will be on Tuesday at Yankee Stadium, after which we'll see if Big Papi is dancing on the Yankees' postseason grave.
