AceShowbiz - Swapping partners? Austen Kroll reportedly "hooked up" with his "Southern Charm" co-star Taylor Ann Green despite previously dating each other's best friends.
The 35-year-old, who was in a relationship with Taylor's pal Olivia Flowers for six months in 2022, allegedly hooked up with Taylor "during season nine filming." A source told Page Six that the two have "gone a lot further than making out."
"Taylor has almost gone through the whole cast, minus [Craig Conover]," the source further told the outlet about Taylor. She previously dated Austen's best friend Shep Rose for two years.
"[Season 9] is gonna be about her," the unnamed informant went on sharing. The insider additionally said that Taylor was "screaming and crying and yelling in front of all the guests" during one cast party.
According to the publication, Shep "is fine" with the whole situation. The 43-year-old was even "defending" his ex-girlfriend living her single life.
As for Olivia, she's reportedly "aware [of the situation], but she's had bigger issues to deal with," The insider was referring to the death of her brother, Conner Flowers, last month.
Back in August 2022, Olivia revealed that fans told her to avoid Austen following his appearance on "Summer House" and "Winter House". When speaking to Page Six, she said, "After 'Winter House' and 'Summer House,' people were like, 'oh, really? Run!' ... But it was all people that didn't know him."
The reality TV star claimed that "no one in his close-knit group said anything like that to me." She added, "It was more just the strangers watching the shows, like coming in and telling me to be careful, which I appreciate."
