‘Southern Charm’ Recap: Austen Kroll Admits He Loves Olivia Flowers
Austen Krol got a little tipsy and expressed his feelings for his ex-girlfriend Olivia Flowers in the latest episode of Southern charm.
“I want that rom-com to end in my life,” Austen, 36, told his ex-girlfriend Madison LeCroy on the Thursday, November 30, episode of the Bravo series while talking about his feelings for costars Taylor-Ann Green and Olivia, 31.
Although Austen admitted there was a ‘minute’ where he thought there was ‘something’ going on between him and 28-year-old Taylor, he claimed he always wanted to get back in touch with Olivia. (Austen and Olivia dated in 2022 before splitting in October. He raised eyebrows earlier this year when he admitted to kissing Taylor shortly after his breakup with Olivia — and while he and Olivia were still talking.)
“This is not my rom-com ending. It’s not Taylor,” Austen said to 33-year-old Madison, with whom he dated on and off for two years until December 2020. “I was confused there for a moment. I thought she and I had a vibration.”

Stephanie Diani/BravoThe cohost of the “Pillows and Beer” podcast confided in ex Madison and told her that all the “talk about Taylor” was “not about her.” Austen confessed, “It was always about King Olivia. I love her. It was always about her. I went to therapy because of Olivia, because I should have ended up with her.’
A drunken Austen then asked, “Why can’t I be happy with this damn person who’s perfect?” What am I going to do?”
