Southern Charm star Austen Kroll thought BravoCon 2025 would turn over a new leaf with former flame Lindsay Hubbard.
During his Wednesday, February 4, appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Austen, 38, was asked about the “last time” he hooked up with Lindsay, 39.
“I thought it was going to be at BravoCon almost,” Austen said with a laugh, to which host Andy Cohen concurred, adding, “It seemed like she was ovulating. I thought you were going to make a baby.”
Lindsay, who welcomed daughter Gemma in December 2024 with now-ex Turner Kufe, and Austen were among the Bravolebrities present at the Las Vegas fan convention in November 2025.

“She was full-court pressing,” Austen recalled on Wednesday, comparing Lindsay’s behavior to the defense strategy in basketball. “It hasn’t been since the one and only time that she and I have hooked up.”
Austen and Lindsay infamously had a brief fling in 2018 before reuniting on Bravo’s Winter House three years later in 2021. During their tenure in the cabin, Lindsay admitted that she still had feelings for Austin — who was also getting closer to Lindsay’s Summer House costar Ciara Miller.
“I am in love with you,” Lindsay drunkenly confided in Austen on the show. “I’m in love with you. I don’t think you understand.”
Austen tried to let Lindsay down gently, telling her, “Linds, I love you — like a sister. It just works so much better this way. I don’t want this to f*** up because we are too close.”
Weeks later, Austen raised eyebrows when he was asked to choose whether Ciara, 30, or Lindsay were the better kisser during a WWHL game. Lindsay subsequently blocked Austen on social media.
“This is not the first time Austen and I have gotten into any sort of tiff,” Lindsay exclusively told Us Weekly in December 2021. “That’s what happens when you have a close friendship with somebody when you’re very, very close — and you’re best friends or you consider yourselves best friends — you’re bound to get into some sort of fight. It’s just, unfortunately, this one was very public. I don’t think that our friendship is over. I think it will repair, [but] it might not look the same as it did before.”
Lindsay and Austen have since slowly worked to reconcile their friendship.
“I think that we’re going to kind of begin this new sort of friendship, where its boundaries — and the keyword, though, is friendship,” Austen told Us in November 2023. “That’s what I want to keep it to, and I’m sure that with everything that she has going on, she feels the same way.”

According to Austen, he visited Lindsay in New York City ahead of BravoCon 2023 for a “nice,” friendly conversation.
“We haven’t spoken and had a chance to talk in so long,” Austen told Us. “And part of it is because … that’s growth. She found Carl [Radke] and she was going down that [path] and I needed to go down my own path, which it just made [sense] for us to not talk there for a while.”
Lindsay got engaged to her Summer House costar Carl, 41, in August 2022, months before he called off their wedding.
