What you need to know
Austin Kroll and Audrey Platt are going their separate ways.
Kroll, 38, confirmed to BravoCon 2025 officials that she is single as she approaches her two-year anniversary with Pratt.
The Southern Charm star told E! News that her relationship with Pratt became a “sacrifice” for the upcoming season of the Bravo series.
“As we get into this year and the season starts, I’ve been dating a girl for a year, and there’s been a change, and I’m still going through it. And then you start to question, ‘Really, what’s the next step?'” he told the outlet.
“So I have no choice but to discuss this with my family and friends,” he continued. “You have to listen to the outside noise of your friends. That’s the hardest thing about TV shows, because unwanted opinions and things start to creep in. But this year has taken a toll on that relationship.”
When asked about his single life, he replied, “It’s not bad.” She added, “You know, sometimes I go through ups and downs where I really miss being in a relationship. It’s really nice to have someone there for you all the time. You can call, you can rely on, you can rely on. As a single person, sometimes I think, ‘I hate this life,’ but (it’s) a grass-grass-greener situation.”

Kroll met Pratt in December 2023 at a restaurant in Charlotte, North Carolina, where she lives. He had previously explained that he ran into her friend in the bathroom and was told to go talk to Pratt.
“I was like, ‘No, it’s awkward right now because you’re telling me to do that,'” he recalled to The Daily Dish in 2024. “Anyway, long story short, I took her to a baseball game in Charlotte and that’s how we met.”
Kroll later revealed that she was the one who started the conversation about how to define a relationship, which shocked many fans who had watched Kroll’s dating life go through ups and downs over the years on the show. He added that a “long conversation” with a therapist made him realize that “commitment is what I was ready for when I met the right person.”
“I met the right person and I couldn’t ignore it, to be honest,” he told E! News for 2024.

The two made their relationship official on Instagram in May 2024, and she made her debut on the season 10 premiere episode of Southern Charm later that year.
“Audrey is the ultimate ‘go with the flow’ type,” Kroll said in a confessional on the Bravo series. “I really think it comes from me being an open and transparent person with her. I was shocked that that was what it took to make the relationship work, but it was like a revelation.”
he told E! News that he consulted Pratt about bringing her into the world of reality TV, and she agreed to film.
“I was like, ‘Is this what you want to do? I mean, if you say this world isn’t for me, I totally get it,'” he shared with the outlet. “And she said, ‘I’d be happy to do something with you because it’s important to you.'”
“I just wanted her to feel as comfortable as possible,” he said.
Cameras continued to capture pivotal moments in their relationship, such as when Pratt met Kroll’s parents for the first time.
“A key word I’ve been working on with my therapist is ‘intentionality,’ or the act of being ‘on purpose,'” podcast co-host Pillows & Beer said in a confessional.
“And the reason I intentionally waited four months to bring Audrey home was because I didn’t want to do this to my parents. When I introduce them to a girl who might not be that serious, they’re like, ‘Oh, I liked her.'”

Pratt also received an endorsement from Kroll’s castmate and close friend Shep Rose, who praised him for taking his relationship with Kroll seriously.
“He’s very devoted to Audrey and fun to watch,” Rose said during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live in December 2024. “I think she’s great. She’s very chill, very reserved.”
BravoCon 2025 runs through Sunday, November 16th at Caesars Forum in Las Vegas.
