Austen Kroll has been spending a lot of time with Olivia Flowers in recent weeks, and on Monday, amid Valentine’s Day, the two of them shared a nearly identical photo of a heart-shaped pizza on their Instagram Stories.
Just days after the rumored couple was spotted together in an Instagram Story shared by their Southern Charm co-star, Craig Conover, Austen and Olivia, who was added to the show for season eight, seemingly confirmed they’ve embarked on a romance with one another.
In screenshots of Austen and Olivia’s posts shared by the Queens of Bravo on Instagram on February 15, they were seen getting ready to enjoy a heart-shaped pizza in a yellow box.
Although neither gave mention to the other or said anything else with their posts, it’s hard not to assume they are dating.
A short while before the potential couple fueled rumors of their romance on Valentine’s Day, they were seen in a video shared by Craig.
Although Austen and Olivia weren’t actually seen side-by-side in Craig’s clip, he tagged the two of them in his post, along with his girlfriend, Paige DeSorbo, and he said they were going to be the “first guests” on Travels With Craig.
Austen has been most recently linked to Summer House star Lindsay Hubbard, who has since gone public with co-star Carl Radke, Kristin Cavallari, who denied dating both Austen and Craig last year, and Ciara Miller.
Before that, Austen was in an up and down relationship with Madison LeCroy that was highly documented on Southern Charm.
While Madison is now engaged to boyfriend Brett Randle, she told Us Weekly in October that she didn’t think Austen would care about her relationship news.
“It hasn’t even crossed my mind, but I don’t think he’ll care,” Madison said. “I don’t think that the lifestyle that I want for myself and my son is something he’s really even interested [in]… It’s going to be hard for him to understand why I do want to get married and do want to have kids in that kind of situation. I don’t think that’s something he really wants to do.”
In addition to Olivia joining the cast for season eight, Marcia Hobbs, Venita Aspen, and Chleb Ravenell, the former boyfriend of Kathryn Dennis, have also been added, and Naomie Olindo has returned.
Southern Charm season eight is expected to premiere on Bravo sometime this spring.
