Madison LeCroy Reveals the Complex Dynamics of Her Relationship with Austen Kroll in a Bittersweet Update - lulu

Madison LeCroy and Austen Kroll are now on very good terms after their breakup in 2020. Although the Southern Charm cast members have since moved on in their relationships (more on that down below) and exciting new life chapters (like Madison welcoming daughter Teddi and Austen launching a new business), they are still close friends to this day.

Madison recently took to her Instagram Story, where she shared a look at their friendship now. The mom of two posted a screenshot of her text messages with Southern Charm's Salley Carson, who sent over a photo of her and Austen. In the picture, Salley can be seen sipping on a margarita, while the Trop Hop founder sipped beer out of a clear mug.

"We miss you," Salley wrote under the photo.

Madison then sent her friends a photo of her, sipping out of her own cocktail glass, as a pair of oversized sunglasses covered her eyes. "Looks like I'm the third wheel even from afar," she wrote over the screenshot, adding a laughing Emoji. 

"I miss y'all," she noted, tagging the duo and adding "BFFL" (or "best friends for life") underneath.

Austen and Madison met up for lunch and drinks during Southern Charm Season 10, Episode 9, where they gave a look at their friendship now. Upon his arrival at the restaurant, Madison told Austen that she had already ordered shots for them. "That's why I f—ing miss you," Austen replied.

During a confessional in the episode, Austen admitted that their romantic relationship put him through the wringer. "Madison put me through f—ing hell. And I didn't know if I wanted to date someone again," he admitted.

But he admitted they're in a much better place now, explaining, "Take the relationship out of it, we could've been hanging out years ago!"

When did Madison LeCroy and Austen Kroll date?

Madison was first introduced to Southern Charm viewers as Austen's girlfriend during Season 6, which aired in 2019. Although they had been on and off throughout the majority of their relationship, Austen admitted during BravoCon 2019 that Madison was "hard to walk away from."

"She really is a hell of a woman," he said during the "Southern Charm: Mind Your Manors" panel. "She's got it going on, so I find it hard to walk away from." 

Ultimately, they split for good in 2020.
