Southern Charm star Austen Kroll has officially gone public with girlfriend Audrey Pratt — but a cryptic TV appearance has fans wondering if the couple is still together.
Kroll, 38, surprised viewers when he popped up on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen on Sunday, July 13, to ask guest Sarah Jessica Parker a question. But when Andy asked about his relationship with Audrey, things got suspiciously vague.
“He’s so sweet,” Parker said of Austen. “He looks so nice, doesn’t he?” Andy agreed, then asked Kroll directly: “Are you and Audrey still together?”
After a long pause, Kroll smirked and simply said: “Oh, Andy, watch season 11.”
The response — neither a confirmation nor a denial — immediately set off breakup rumors among fans.
Austen previously told Us Weekly that he started dating Audrey Pratt in December 2023, but kept things private at first. One year later, she made her Southern Charm debut — first as a voice on the phone, then visiting his parents’ home in an episode that aired in January.
In a December 2024 interview, Austen revealed he wasn’t rushing the relationship, especially since Audrey lives in Charlotte, North Carolina, while he’s based in Charleston, South Carolina.
“It’s a short drive. It’s nice,” he said at the time. “I feel settled and happy. Therapy helped, and dating someone who brings peace helped even more.”
He added that Audrey made him realize “not every relationship has to be hard or dramatic.”
Their last public appearance together came in April, when the two traveled to Chicago and snapped a few photos at a Cubs game. Since then, silence — and now, a mystery.
While keeping his romantic life under wraps, Austen has been busy becoming a cat dad.
“Happy Birthday to me! Meet Piper and Martini — the newest stars of SC and my heart,” he wrote in a June Instagram post.
As Southern Charm films its much-anticipated season 11, Austen's vague remarks have fans eagerly awaiting the premiere — not just for the drama, but to finally learn what’s really going on between him and Audrey.
