Kristin Cavallari is here to address any rumors regarding her relationship with Southern Charm's Austen Kroll. She was recently seen hanging out with Austen, as well as Craig Conover, and the latest gossip comes after there was some previous speculation from fans that maybe Kristin and Austen were dating, according to E! News.
However, that doesn't seem to be the case. “I didn’t realize I wasn’t allowed to have FRIENDS that are guys," Kristin commented in her Instagram Story this week.
According to Page Six, her rumored boyfriend, Jeff Dye, also seemed to shut down the rumors after Kristin was spotted hanging with the Southern Charm pals and her hairstylist friend, Justin Anderson, in Nashville last weekend.
In fact, Austen spoke to Us Weekly in November about being pals with Kristin: "We’re in this, like, big old group chat, and the group chat is active.”
Kristin and estranged husband Jay Cutler announced their split back in April; together they are parents to three kids. As for Austen, he and Madison LeCroy are no longer together, and the break up was featured on Southern Charm this season.
Madison opened up about where she stands with Austen today during a recent interview with The Daily Dish podcast.
“He literally just texted me a minute ago,” Madison said during the interview. “I’ve tried to avoid him, in a sense. We talk here and there. We’ve seen each other. But there’s nothing like that romantically happening right now. We just can’t get along, and it’s unfortunate, because I think that there is passion there.”
