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!”Â
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.

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.”
