Austen Reveals Truth About Salley Sleepover on Southern Charm

Austen Kroll has clarified that he and his Southern Charm co-star Salley Carson are not in a sexual relationship, despite her spending the night at his place.

The Nature of Their Relationship

Austen, 38, stated during the Southern Charm season 11 reunion on March 18 that he and Salley, 31, have shared a sleepover but maintains it was innocent. They often hang out and even had some drunken makeouts.

Salley echoed Austen's sentiment, explaining to host Andy Cohen that their sleepover involved watching TV and simply falling asleep. They confirmed watching several episodes of Heated Rivalry, an HBO Max show known for its steamy scenes.

Previous Interactions and Speculations

The discussion about Austen's relationship with Salley followed their Mexico trip kiss after Austen's split from Audrey Pratt. Castmates have teased the pair about their dynamic throughout the season.

Austen insisted they are not romantically involved despite cast speculation and claims that they could be 'friends with benefits.'

Reactions from Cast Members

Madison LeCroy, Austen's ex-girlfriend, commented that if Salley behaved more like a "wife," she might secure a more serious relationship with him. Austen mentioned conversations about Salley's social life but emphasized her freedom as someone single and attractive.

Despite jokes about their situation, Austen reaffirmed his stance against dating pressures from others in the cast, stating he's content with the current nature of his relationship with Salley.
