Southern Charm viewers will be filled in on Austen Kroll\u2019s relationship with Audrey Pratt on season 11.<\/p>\n
Us Weekly spoke exclusively to cast members from the Bravo hit ahead of the November 19 premiere, with Austen, 38, addressing his status with Audrey for the first time since he hinted that they were over on Watch What Happens With Live in July.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat I can say, and what I always will say, is that Audrey is the best kind of person,\u201d Austen began to Us. \u201cShe\u2019s the sweetest, she\u2019s the kindest, most thoughtful, and you will see us [on season 11 try to] figure out what our future is going to look like together.\u201d<\/p>\n
Austen, who lives in Charleston, and Audrey, who resides in Charlotte, had been navigating long-distance since they started dating in late 2023.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s very difficult. At first, I loved the fact that she lived here and I lived here, and we make an effort to see each other as often as possible, and then it comes to that point where it\u2019s like, \u2018We\u2019ve been dating for this long now, who\u2019s moving where and when?\u2019 You\u2019ll see this kind of unfold,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
Based on what the cast told Us about the season \u2014 which includes messy romantic entanglements between Austen, Craig Conover, Salley Carson and newcomers Whit Slagsvol and Charley Manley \u2014 things are over with Austen and Audrey. He makes a point to say there is no bad blood.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t care if it\u2019s a spoiler, Audrey and I never had any sort of, like, \u2018damn\u2019 moment that happened to make anything [bad] between us happen,\u201d Austen told Us.<\/p>\n
That doesn\u2019t mean their relationship won\u2019t be talked about, however. In the season 11 trailer, there\u2019s a moment where Craig and Shep are seen talking about a rumor that Austen was unfaithful, something he denies and calls \u201cextremely disappointing\u201d to see Craig have repeated.<\/p>\n
\u201cMan, if I didn\u2019t hear things \u2014 not like unfaithfulness, per se, between him and [his ex] Paige [DeSorbo] \u2014 I never fed into any of that stuff, because that is a line crosser,\u201d Austen said, hinting that cast members like Shep and Whitney Sudler-Smith would attempt to talk about Paige and Craig. \u201cI never was the one who was pointing fingers at a rocky relationship between him and Paige, so to see him more than willing to offer this up is \u2026 was disappointing as hell to see. I was nothing but a supporter and never fed into the outside noise that I heard about him. You\u2019ll definitely see that disappointment in me in the aftermath of said scene.\u201d<\/p>\n
Craig, for his part, described his relationship with Austen this season as \u201cturbulent\u201d \u2014 but all three of Southern Charm\u2019s leading men aren\u2019t quitting each other just yet.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe just butt heads, and you\u2019ll get to follow along as we continue to try to figure out what our path forward is, and it transcends the show and the cameras,\u201d Craig said. \u201cWe don\u2019t quit each other. The Housewives may just walk away \u2014 we don\u2019t. And I hope you get to see some of the fun moments this year too.\u201d<\/p>\n
Southern Charm returns to Bravo on Wednesday, November 19, at 9 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n
Curtis Ashford is repeating his old patterns so quickly, he\u2019s starting to feel like Port Charles\u2019 answer to Ridge Forrester.<\/p>\n
Curtis and Portia are circling the drain again on General Hospital, and at this point, you almost want to hand them a punch card to keep track of their divorces. Their marriage hasn\u2019t just cracked; it\u2019s buckled. And Curtis didn\u2019t waste time telling Marshall the part he left out of the vows: he wants Jordan back. Watching him pivot felt familiar in the worst way, like d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu with a haircut change. It\u2019s the same dizzying loop Ridge Forrester\u2019s been running on The Bold and the Beautiful for decades \u2014 torn between Taylor one minute, wedding Brooke the next morning, and getting re-engaged before you can blink. GH may be quietly steering Curtis into its own version of that legacy pendulum.<\/p>\n
Key Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n Curtis (Donnell Turner) used to feel grounded \u2014 a man who\u2019d survived addiction, rebuilt his life, and found the love he fought for. But somewhere along the way, his expectations got cartoonishly high. He divorced Jordan (Tanisha Harper) because she kept police-commissioner-level secrets, the kind you\u2019d hope an officer of the law would actually keep. Then he pivoted to Portia (Brook Kerr) and nearly left her when she admitted Trina (Tabyana Ali) could be his daughter. Forgivable? Sure. Dramatic? Absolutely. But now he\u2019s pulling the whole parachute again and floating back toward Jordan like nothing ever happened.<\/p>\n There\u2019s a rigidity to Curtis that\u2019s almost ironic. He preaches honesty while making his own choices in the shadows. Just this week, he told Marshall (Robert Gossett) he wanted Jordan back \u2014 moments after agreeing not to tell anyone about Portia\u2019s pregnancy. Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye), meet your Port Charles twin. The man can\u2019t walk a straight romantic line to save his life.<\/p>\n Jordan, for her part, has spent months being blamed for every tremor in Curtis and Portia\u2019s marriage, even when she wasn\u2019t holding the fault line. And now she\u2019s the lighthouse he\u2019s drifting back toward, even though the coast is anything but clear. Portia\u2019s pregnancy complicates everything, and Trina\u2019s fury has only shoved the door halfway closed again.<\/p>\n Over on B&B, Ridge just pulled one of the fastest flip-flops in soap history \u2014 dumping Taylor (Rebecca Budig), running straight to Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang), and getting engaged before Taylor could pack a carry-on. One minute it\u2019s destiny with Taylor, mending her \u2018broken heart syndrome,\u2019 the next it\u2019s \u201cyou\u2019re my forever Logan\u201d to Brooke with a ring pulled from the jewelry line. Classic Ridge: heartfelt declarations with an expiration date of\u2026 whenever the next woman sighs in his direction.<\/p>\n That\u2019s the danger sign flashing over Curtis now. He\u2019s starting to move like Ridge \u2014 impulsive, nostalgic, overly confident that whichever woman he chooses will still be standing when he boomerangs back. But Portia\u2019s not built like Brooke, who always leaves a porch light on. And Jordan is no Taylor, who forgives until she folds.<\/p>\n Add Trina to the equation \u2014 fiercely protective, zero hesitation, and armed with her own moral compass \u2014 and Curtis may have finally met the variable Ridge never really had: a daughter figure willing to block the doorway before the triangle even finishes forming.At this rate, Curtis isn\u2019t just slipping into Ridge territory. He\u2019s laying down new pavement. If he isn\u2019t careful, he may discover the one thing Ridge never had to worry about: both women walking away before he makes up his mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Southern Charm viewers will be filled in on Austen Kroll\u2019s relationship with Audrey Pratt on season 11.
