Bravo aired the first episode of the two-part 'Southern Charm' Season 7 finale on January 14 and it ended with quite a revelation. Madison LeCroy received a message from a friend who claimed Austen Kroll slept with a girl at a pool party that was held recently. This information surfaced after the former couple had a lengthy conversation about dating other people, which prompted Austen to be certain that Madison wants to control him. 

They have been in an on-again-off-again relationship for over three years, which meant they have fought and come back stronger. When they began Season 7, it seemed that they had started to settle down, look at the future differently, in a more collective sort of a way but the pandemic hit the world and things changed between them, for good hopefully. Since their dramatic split aired on TV on December 9, 2020, Austen's name has come up in the headlines alongside three women - Kristin Cavallari, Chelsea Meissner and Natalie Hegnauer. He was dating two of them, and simply hanging out with Kristin. 



 

Although the timelines are not known and we cannot confirm if "the girl" Austen slept with (as Madison claimed) are one of three mentioned above but let's take a look at the capacity in which he has been involved with them. 

Austen and Chelsea



 

Chelsea was a friend of former cast member Cameran Eubanks. It was a couple of seasons ago when she was introduced to the show. At first, Shep Rose was interested in her too but Austen and Chelsea got off to a flying start. Unfortunately, they split and moved on with different people. "Gosh, I mean, after going through what I went through with Madison, to look at someone like Chelsea would be like, 'Oh my god, you are an angel sent from frickin' Heaven," he told Andy Cohen during one of the recently-aired 'WWHL' episodes.

It was mid-December 2020 when a video of Austen and Kristin dancing, having a good time surfaced on the internet, following which there were talks if the two were going out. Their recent splits helped the rumors. Kristin was fresh out of a 10-year-long relationship with Jay Cutler, while Austen and Madison had called it quits. After there was sufficient noise about them going out, Kristin took to her Instagram stories to share a boomerang of her eye-rolling with a caption that read: "I didn't realize I wasn't allowed to have FRIENDS that are guys." 

Austen and Natalie



 

Early December, Madison decided to drop a truth bomb that has the potential to make or break relationships. Craig Conover's current girlfriend Natalie was once going out with Austen. "And I don’t know how they can be friends but they’re all concerned about what I’m doing. And I just think that’s gonna be a little too close to home if you know what I mean," she said on an episode of 'WWHL'.
