How to Watch

She answered this exact question during Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on September 12. 

The Status of Kristin Cavallari, Craig Conover, and Austen Kroll’s Friendship

A WWHL viewer asked about the last time Kristin had spoken with Craig or Austen, and that led her to share an update on their relationship today. But first, Kristin clarified that they’ve always been friends. 

“We were all really good friends for a while,” she explained, noting that the chatter about them was often “blown out of proportion.”

Fast-forward to now and Kristin said, “I’m still friends with them.”

What’s more, “Austen is coming to Nashville this week, so I think that I’m getting dinner with him later this week,” she added. “So we’re all friends.”

The duo teased what’s to come during an August episode of their podcast, with Austen first noting that the season is just as “intense” as the trailer.

Added Craig, “I think it’s going to be one of our best.” 

“I think it’s old-school Southern Charm,” he continued. “I think it gets back to really just what we’re good at in the city, [which] is being nuts… It’s really good.”

On Southern Charm Season 9, Craig and Austen will be joined by fellow returning cast members Shep RoseTaylor Ann GreenMadison LeCroyVenita AspenOlivia Flowers, and Leva Bonaparte. Season 9 will also introduce newcomers Jarrett ThomasRodrigo Reyes, and Rod Razavi.
