Austen Kroll Reveals Where He Stands with Kathryn Dennis Today: "It's Tough..."
The Southern Charm cast member just revealed where he stands with his longtime friend today.
Austen Kroll knows by now that Charleston is a small city; there is no telling what friends or former friends you might run into on a daily basis. But, the Southern Charm cast member hasn't run into Kathryn Dennis as of late.
Austen appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Thursday, Jan. 30, where he shared a major update on his friendship with Kathryn. Although Kathryn currently lives in Charleston, Austen admitted in the video above, that he hasn't seen her for a while. But, that's not to say that he hasn't tried to reach out to her to hang out again.
"I have reached out a few times," Austen said during the WWHL After Show. "We used to like to get pedicures together. And so I'd be like, 'Hey! Let's go get a pedicure!' And she'd be like, 'Yeah! Let's!' And then, radio silence from her. And that's just tough. It's tough when the other person doesn't reciprocate."
Austen's fellow WWHL guest, Patricia Altschul, also revealed that she has not heard from Kathryn, either. So that makes two of them.
Details on Kathryn Dennis and Austen Kroll's friendship
Although Austen has dated a few women and cast members throughout his time on Southern Charm, his friendship with Kathryn was strictly platonic. While they experienced some differences, they did grow close throughout Southern Charm Season 8. And, yes, they did get pedicures together multiple times.
Cameras caught them getting a pedicure during Season 8, Episode 7, when the two friends sipped on champagne, talked about their friends, and enjoyed their luxurious foot treatments. "I have always had a soft spot for Kathryn," he said during an episode confessional. "I mean, look, I did win Drama King in high school, and Kathryn is certainly dramatic as well."
On top of that, Kathryn even spent Thanksgiving with Austen and his family in 2018.
What is Kathryn Dennis up to today?
Kathryn tends to keep a much lower profile today. But, she does take to her Instagram account every now and then to share the rare update with her followers on how she is doing. Kathryn took to her Instagram Story on Jan. 10, where she shared a stunning photo of a sunset with tall tree silhouettes in the background. "The kind of morning that makes you stop and breathe it all in," she wrote over the photo.
In a June 2024 Instagram post, Kathryn shared a gorgeous selfie and revealed her current mantra for the moment. "Inner Peace Self Worth — it's been my mantra since I was 21, still going strong," she wrote in the caption of the post.
