'I Love a Mama's Boy' star Austin wanted to rekindle his romance with Kristopher but, instead, he has been sabotaging his longtime relationship without even knowing. He was living with Kris despite their breakup but has recently planned to move out thanks to his mom, Shirlene.

Kris is madly in love with Austin and the thought of him moving out would shatter his heart. Austin, meanwhile, would not let his plans for independence go down without a fight and the preview of the upcoming episode teased a heated argument with Kris leaving the lunch furiously and tearfully.

The TLC show star has been on a house hunt with his mother Shirlene for the last few days without even informing Kris. However, when he learned about Austin's plans to move in with his mother, he called out the duo and seemingly broke things off for the better. Austin should have known the devastating reaction coming and could have avoided the heated fight with a conversation and a direct no to his mother's manipulative drama.
