The Southern Charm-er is blaming it on his recent “girl drama" in Season 9.

Southern Charm Season 9 is finally underway, and things between the Charleston crew are heating up. Much of the drama this season revolves around Austen Kroll allegedly hooking up with Taylor Ann Green, which in turn causes a rift in their relationships with Shep Rose and Olivia Flowers.

What’s more, the chain of events has already started unraveling, which viewers got to see in Season 9, Episode 2, as it was revealed that allegedly Taylor stayed at Austen’s house after a group night out.

While you’ll have to tune in weekly to Southern Charm to see the rumored romance play out onscreen, Austen is now offering a few updates on his dating life.

Austen Kroll shares an update on his love life

In the clip above, the TropHop Beers founder sat down with BravoTV.com exclusively to discuss his latest attempts at finding love. “I’ve made a conscious decision to not date anybody at the moment,” Austen admits. He continues to share his reasoning for remaining off the market, which may have something to do with “girl drama.” Let him explain, above.

That wasn’t the only thing Austen shared about his love life. The Southern Charm-er also took the time to reveal how active he is in the bedroom when discussing what has changed the most about his life since Season 8. You can hear what he says by watching the video above.

Austen may have decided to put a pause on love for now, but that doesn’t mean he’s giving up on it entirely. During the August 17 episode of Pillows and Beer, a podcast series hosted by Austen and Craig Conover, the duo discussed the “green line test,” which determines someone’s relationship dynamic based on their photo together. 

Austen admitted that the test would give him “so much stress,” but it also caused him to reflect on his love life.

“When am I going to take another couple[s] photo, Craig?” he asked. “I’m kind of interested to see who I’m gonna end up with. I know that you are. I know that you’re, like, ‘I wonder what that person is gonna look like.’"

Later in their conversation, Austen mentioned how Craig's relationship with Paige DeSorbo has made him wonder about his next partner.

“Craig’s always sittin’ here talkin’ about Paige, and I’m not gonna lie, it makes me a little, like, ‘Aw, man. When am I gonna find someone?’” he said. “Which, once again, I’m absolutely in no rush. I want it to be right and good and great. But I just wonder what it looks like for me.”
