Austen Kroll had an unexpected encounter with an ex on “Watch What Happens Live.” On the March 11 episode of the Bravo late-night show, the “Southern Charm” star was blindsided when his former girlfriend, Olivia Flowers, made a cameo in a video chat.
Flowers appeared during a game titled “Ex- Who,” in which photos of 12 ex-girlfriends of Kroll and his “Southern Charm” co-stars Shep Rose and Austen Kroll appeared on screen. The trio was squirming as they asked a series of questions to pinpoint which girl was really behind the screen.
As photos of Madison Leroy, Naomie Olindo, Taylor Ann Green, and Paige DeSorbo were “ex’d” out, Kroll asked the mystery guest if she had blonde hair. After she responded, “Yes, obviously,” Kroll asked, “Is that Olivia? Is that Olivia?”
Flowers, whose past romance with Kroll was documented on “Southern Charm,” appeared on the screen, holding a glass of wine and laughing. She told host Andy Cohen that she had not rescheduled a date for her canceled wedding to fiancé Alex Williams.
Kroll’s Relationship With Olivia Flowers Was Difficult
Flowers and Kroll dated during the 8th season of “Southern Charm.” While they broke up before that season’s reunion taping, things got messy the following season after Kroll kissed Flowers’ friend Green.
During a January 30, 2025, appearance on “Watch What Happens Live,” Kroll admitted he had not reached out to Flowers following her engagement to her new beau, Williams.
“Not a proud answer for me, but I just feel like there is so much animosity from her towards me last year that I thought the best thing to do for me was to distance myself,” he explained. “And then of course, you know, she didn’t come back to the show, which I wish that she would have so that we could have, you know, reconciled.”
At the time, Kroll was dating Audrey Pratt, but their relationship ended last year as “Southern Charm” was filming.
Austen Kroll Addressed Rumors About Salley Carson
There have been rumors that Kroll has been dating co-star Salley Carson since his split from Pratt. On the March 11 WWHL, he noted that Pratt had seen footage of him making out with Carson during a cast trip to Mexico when the “Southern Charm” trailer dropped.
Of his relationship with Carson, he explained, “Salley and I are close, and she knows that, you know, when we got back from [Mexico], it was like, ‘Hey, I’m still like newly single, and I need time.’ And it’s still kind of like that. But we’re just really good friends, to be totally honest.“
“And Salley is obviously like she has done lots of interviews, making it seem like we’re like actively like hot and heavy, and it’s just not true,” he said.
Last month, Carson told Elite Daily that she and Kroll tell each other “everything” and doesnt “want to hide anything from him.”
“I think we’re very attracted to each other,” the “Southern Charm” star shared. “I think we’re just treading lightly, because I do believe if me and Austen were to get together, it could be end game.”
“I’m not dating to play anymore. I want to date to marry,” Carson added.
Sally needs to act her age and grow up. She seems to fall for every guy she goes out with. She was mean to Charly and was so childish about Charly not telling everything that was going on between herself and Craig.’ She just needs to grow up and same for Benita too!!!!
Sorry Charley for spelling your name wrong.
Last night’s episode she’s crying her head off over Craig and five minutes later is literally running after Austen. Pathetic.
