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.”
