5 Shocking Reasons Behind the Dramatic Split
While Austen Kroll’s relationship history is notoriously complex, the split with Audrey Pratt involved a unique set of circumstances, including intense reality TV pressures and drama with co-stars.
1. The Weight of Cheating Rumors on the Relationship
The most explosive element of their relationship, and a major factor in the breakup, was the intense cheating rumors that surfaced during the filming of the show. The trailer for the season showed Austen in an emotional confessional, vehemently denying the claims. "Come the f*ck on. There is absolutely no truth to the rumor that I have cheated on my girlfriend," Austen stated, clearly distressed by the situation. Despite his denials, the whispers and the necessity of addressing them on camera placed an unbearable strain on the relationship, especially for Audrey, who was new to the reality TV world.
2. The Inevitable *Southern Charm* Curse
Austen’s past relationships, particularly with Madison LeCroy and Olivia Flowers, were constantly brought up by his co-stars, creating a toxic environment for Audrey. The show’s narrative often forces partners to deal with Austen’s messy history, which can be emotionally draining. Madison LeCroy, his most famous ex, has been vocal about her time with Austen, even calling it "depressed, emotionally and mentally drained." This ongoing commentary and the pressure from the reality TV "curse" likely contributed to the relationship's demise.
3. The Challenge of Long-Distance and Charleston Life
Audrey Pratt is a native of North Carolina, and while she spent time with Austen in Charleston, South Carolina, the distance was a consistent issue. Austen himself hinted that the distance made their pairing "too easy," suggesting a lack of foundational commitment or daily life integration. The constant travel and separation inherent in a long-distance relationship, combined with the chaotic social scene of Charleston that Austen is immersed in, made maintaining a stable, committed partnership incredibly difficult.
4. Craig Conover’s Public Skepticism
Austen's best friend and co-star, Craig Conover, was a vocal skeptic of the relationship. Craig has a history of calling out Austen's relationship patterns, and he publicly claimed that Austen was "stuck" in a relationship where he was unhappy. This cast drama, which included an off-camera fight that was reportedly cut from the show, added another layer of outside pressure. The constant judgment from a close friend and co-star can erode the trust and confidence needed to sustain a relationship under the reality TV lens.
5. The Door Isn't Completely Shut
Interestingly, Austen Kroll’s confirmation of the split at BravoCon 2025 was accompanied by a cryptic hint that the "door" isn't entirely "shut" on a potential future with Audrey Pratt. This suggests that the breakup may be more of a "break" or a necessary step to relieve the pressure of filming, rather than a final, irreconcilable split. For fans of the couple, this leaves a glimmer of hope, but for now, the reality star is back on the market, ready for the next round of dating drama that will inevitably unfold in the next season of *Southern Charm*.
