Austen Kroll made a surprise video appearance on Sunday night’s episode of Watch What Happens Live, which featured actress and Andy Cohen‘s longtime friend Sarah Jessica Parker as a guest.

After asking Sarah, 60, if he and Shep Rose, 44, could make a cameo on And Just Like That…, pitching the two of them as potential employees of the Hot Fellas Bakery that the cast frequents on the show, Sarah pointed out that the 38-year-old Southern Charm cast member “[looked] so nice” as she wondered if he was in a relationship. 

“Are you still with [Audrey Pratt]?” Andy, 57, asked on the July 13 episode of WWHL, via Bravo’s The Daily Dish.

“Oh, Andy, watch season 11,” Austen replied after a pause.

As Southern Charm fans may recall, Austen went public with Audrey in February of last year amid a romantic getaway to Mexico. Then, later that year, on an episode of season 10, he was seen introducing her to his parents.

“A big word that I’ve been working on with my therapist is ‘intentionality,’ or the act of being ‘[intentional],’” he explained in a confessional at the time. “And I have intentionally waited four months to bring home Audrey because I don’t want to do this to my parents — introduce them to a girl that I might not be that serious about, and then they’re like, ‘Aw, I liked her.’”

“Let’s just be honest: in the past… I’ve been addicted to the mess,” he continued. “Audrey’s about as ‘go-with-the-flow’ as it gets. I mean, I’ve given her no reason to not be trusting. I really think it comes from me being an open and transparent person to her. Shocker that that’s what it takes to make a relationship work, but it’s been, like, revelatory.”

While Austen has long been known for his inability to settle down, his former girlfriend, Madison LeCroy, said on an episode of WWHL last December that she believed Audrey could be “The One.”

“Austen’s telling me he found his Brett,” she shared, adding that while it “might be a stretch,” she felt the couple was “end game.”

Southern Charm season 11 is currently in production and expected to premiere on Bravo sometime later this year or early next year.
