Austen Kroll and Salley Carson offered new intel about their physical relationship on the Southern Charm reunion — though it took plenty of prodding from their castmates and host Andy Cohen himself.
Because Austen and Salley ended Season 11 with a giant question mark hovering over their romantic future, Andy was eager to put them in the hot seat during Part I of the reunion. Amid a discussion about “baby fever,” he asked point-blank if Austen was going to “give Salley a baby.”
“Look, I mean, Salley and I have a wonderful relationship, and we’ve hung out all sorts of times,” Austen responded. “And, yeah, there have been, like, the drunken makeouts that have certainly happened.”

After he confirmed that they “have had a sleepover,” Salley clarified, “It was very innocent. We were watching TV, and we woke up.” Despite staunch disbelief from their castmates, Austen continuously denied that he and Salley had “gone all the way” and had sex, however.
Interpreting Salley’s facial expressions to mean the opposite, however, the Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen host pressed her more on whether they had “been intimate.” Eventually, Salley shared only that “there has been more than kissing,” before chalking up her coy response to the fact that she’s “trying to be more of a lady.”
Austen, meanwhile, reluctantly confirmed, “We have done a bit more [than kiss]. … But, guys, we’re not doing this, like, big thing in secret that you think that you know we are.”

What Austen and Salley made clearer at the reunion, however, was the fact that they are both currently single. From Austen’s perspective, pursuing a serious relationship with Salley would be “very disrespectful” to his ex-girlfriend Audrey Pratt, even though Andy pointed out that they’d already been broken up for about eight months at that point.

Salley, meanwhile, claimed that she has gone out with Austen and seen him talk to and even leave with other girls. “And I totally am fine with it,” she insisted. “I don’t love it, but I’m not, like, bangin’ on his door, like, ‘Why are you with another bitch?’ It’s not a big deal.”
As Austen put it, “I do my thing, and Salley does her thing. And that’s just the way that I like it.”
Salley, for her part, added, “And sometimes we have sleepovers.”

Amid a friendly debate about whether or not someone has to “act like a wife to be a wife,” Madison LeCroy revealed previous conversations Austen had with her about how Salley going out seven nights a week “wasn’t appealing” to him.
“He even said if you were a little more tamed down and didn’t run the streets, that he would look at you in a different light than just a hookup,” Madison told Salley, who replied, “It’s not like I’m out there hooking up with people. I’m just having a fun time.”
Austen, then, spoke for himself, clarifying that he “didn’t mean ‘running the streets’ like that,” but rather, he was trying to convey simply that Salley is a “bar rat.”
“But that’s because I’m single,” Salley countered. “I don’t go out when I’m in a relationship.”
After stumbling over his words, Austen eventually added, “She’s single. She’s hot. She wants to run around and do her thing — and she can.” When he went on to mention Salley’s “body count,” however, Andy called him out for his own hookups just within the Bravoverse over the years.
“I’m not gonna be, like, bullied into, like, wanting to date Salley,” Austen shot back, underscoring the fact that she can hook up with anyone she wants. “And she calls me and tells me. And I’m like, you know, ‘Go on, girl.’ All good.”
