Austen Kroll is single following his breakup from his ex-girlfriend, Audrey Pratt. But the Southern Charm cast member recently admitted that his ex-girlfriend (and current friend), Madison LeCroy, played a role in helping navigate their relationship.
Austen and the cast of Southern Charm appeared on the It’s All About to Go South panel at BravoCon 2025 on Sunday, Nov. 16, where he dished on his breakup from Audrey. He revealed that this will be captured during the upcoming Season 11 of the show, which premieres on Bravo on Wednesday, Nov. 19 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
“When cameras picked up, we’d been dating for about a year and a half at that point,” he explained, as seen in the video above. “And so, questions begin to come up about like, ‘Hey, what does the future look like?’ And in my opinion, I just think it’s a normal look at like, ‘OK, what is the next step?'”
In order to help figure this out, he relied on his friends and family members for advice, including his ex, who is now married with two kids. “Of course, I open up to my friends about it and to my family about it,” he continued. “I open up to my mom about it. I open up to Madison about it, because she knows me pretty damn well and can tell me things that I suck at, which I appreciate.”

Madison LeCroy opens up about her friendship with Austen Kroll today
Madison and Austen also appeared on the Unexpected Duos panel on Sunday, Nov. 16, where they dished on their friendship today. The hair stylist noted that “almost everything” Austen does drives her up the wall, but she is grateful for his place in her life. “Him and Craig [Conover] drive me up the wall,” she admitted. “The friendship, it’s like, it’s intense. And Austen doesn’t listen to me very often, clearly, so.”

Austen agreed with this. “I have annoying tendencies,” he revealed. “My worst quality is loving Craig through it all. Best quality? I think I’m pretty damn funny. Madison and I can make each other laugh and she cannot deny that.”
