Andy Cohen is in full matchmaking mode, and he isn’t shy about it. The “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” host used BravoCon 2025 to push a possible reunion between Austen Kroll and Lindsay Hubbard, two stars with a long and complicated Bravo history. Cohen has never been afraid to play instigator on-air, but this time, he took things a step further by teasing the idea of a crossover romance between the “Southern Charm” and “Summer House” personalities.
Kroll and Hubbard’s flirtation originally began on “Winter House” season 1 and later led to major tension on “Summer House” season 6. Now that both Bravolebs are single again, Cohen believes there is unfinished business — and viewers are certainly listening.
Here is how Cohen revived the storyline and why he thinks their connection is far from over.
Andy Cohen Says Austen Kroll and Lindsay Hubbard Have ‘Undeniable Chemistry’
During “BravoCon Live with Andy Cohen” on November 19, the host sat down with Kroll and Hubbard at the same table and wasted no time bringing up their romantic past.
“I hate to bring up something in the past, but Austen and Lindsay, there’s undeniable chemistry between the two of you,” Cohen said, earning a loud reaction from the audience.
Hubbard confirmed this wasn’t the first time Cohen mentioned it during the BravoCon weekend. “Andy, you literally came up to me and Austen — you were like, ‘Are we gonna have a BravoCon 2026 baby?’” she said.
Cohen doubled down immediately. “Well, uh, excuse me, that was after you said you were ovulating!” he answered, while both Kroll and Hubbard laughed.
Despite the teasing, Hubbard said nothing happened between them in Las Vegas. “Austen had different plans last night,” she joked.
Kroll insisted there was no drama behind the comment. “Lindsay and I already cleared this, and she’s just being dramatic,” he said.
Still, Cohen’s comments made it clear that he sees more than friendship between the pair.
Lindsay Hubbard and Austen Kroll Address Their Past Romance
For longtime Bravo fans, this isn’t the first time Hubbard and Kroll’s connection has resurfaced. Their relationship has crossed multiple franchises.
On “Winter House,” Hubbard told Kroll that she had developed romantic feelings. Kroll said he only wanted to remain friends. The dynamic resurfaced during “Summer House,” when the two kissed despite Kroll being involved with Ciara Miller. The situation led to a now-infamous love triangle that dominated season 6 and continued into reunion drama and online feuds.
During BravoCon 2025, Kroll confirmed that viewers will also see him go through another breakup on “Southern Charm” season 11. “When cameras picked up, we’d been dating for about a year and a half at that point,” he said. “Questions begin to come up about like, ‘Hey, what does the future look like?’”
Kroll added that he often turns to people close to him, including former flame and co-star Madison LeCroy. “She knows me pretty damn
Bullshit Andy. Austin would never commit and his parents would not approve!
