Southern Charm season 11 will likely include some drama regarding Austen Kroll’s relationship with Audrey Pratt.
Kroll, 38, made a surprise appearance on the Sunday, July 13,episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen to ask guest Sarah Jessica Parker a question — and spilled some major tea in the process.
“He’s so sweet,” Parker, 60, said of the Southern Charm star. “He looks so nice, doesn’t he?”
Cohen, 57, agreed that Kroll is a “very sweet guy.”
“Is there a partner in his life?” Parker wondered. Cohen subsequently asked Kroll if he and Pratt were still together.
“Oh, Andy, watch season 11,” Kroll responded after a bout of silence.
Cohen confirmed to the crowd that Southern Charm is currently in production on its upcoming season, which will likely air later this year or early next.
Kroll previously told Us Weekly that he and Pratt started dating in December 2023, but he decided to keep the early days of their relationship under wraps. One year later, Pratt made her Southern Charm debut. At first, she just appeared via her voice on the phone, but Pratt eventually went with Kroll to his parents’ house in an episode that aired in January.
Kroll told Us exclusively in December 2024 that he was “not rushing” anything when it came to his relationship with Pratt — especially since there’s some distance involved.
“She lives in Charlotte, [North Carolina], so she doesn’t live in Charleston, [South Carolina]. And that’s fine. It’s like a quick little drive. It’s nice,” he said at the time, noting that he felt “settled” and “happy” in this new relationship.
“I think what changed are two things: therapy, and I’m dating somebody,” he continued at the time. “Whether she knows it or not, [she] is a big part of my happiness and my inner peace.”
Kroll previously gushed over their “chill” romance as well.
“She made me realize that not every relationship has to be tumultuous and hard,” he added. “So that’s been a big part of my overall happiness.”
Pratt’s most recent appearance on Kroll’s Instagram came in April, when the two went on a trip to Chicago together. The two posed together for several photos during a Chicago Cubs game. (Pratt’s Instagram account, meanwhile, is set to private.)
While he’s keeping the details of his relationship status under wraps for now, Kroll is keeping busy with his new role as a cat dad.
“Happy Birthday… to me! Meet Piper and Martini, the newest little stars of SC 🎥 and my ❤️,” Kroll captioned a June Instagram post, showing off his new pets. “Sorry in advance to non cat lovers, but my IG stories about to be 🐱 🔥.”
Southern Charm also stars Craig Conover, Madison LeCroy, Shep Rose and more notable Bravo names.
