Austen Kroll is open to rekindling his romance with Winter House costar Ciara Miller. The pair met while filming the new Bravo series in February and immediately hit it off after meeting on day one. Austen and Ciara were one of the two couples caught by Kyle Cooke, who was making out in the hot tub. After that night, the two shared an instant connection that carried on through the two weeks they were in Vermont.

After knowing each other for more than a week, Austen decided to ask Ciara out on a double date along with Kyle and Amanda. While on their date, both Ciara and Austen admitted that their date was one of the best ones they have ever been on. Their connection only grew deeper from their first date with Ciara, even spending the night in Austen's room. Even though they seem to care for each other, Ciara and Austen, who predicted Paige and Craig's romance, didn't last after their vacation hook-up.

In an exclusive interview with People, Austen revealed that while he is single for now, he is open to exploring a relationship with Ciara in the future. "Yes, we are both single," the Southern Charm star said, adding that the pair still stayed in touch since filming concluded in February. "You never say never. Craig [Conover] thinks I'm going to end up with her." The model even flew out to Charleston recently and spent time with the Trop Hop creator. "It was great to see her and reconnect," Austen admitted. Even though Ciara paid Austen a visit, she did not film alongside him for Southern Charm season 8. As for why the reality TV couple decided to go their separate ways after filming, Austen said the fans will have to wait and see.

"There's still so much left to happen," he added. Before his relationship with the Summer House star, Austen was in an on-and-off romance with his Southern Charm costar, Madison LeCroy. The former couple began a relationship sometime in 2018, but they took a short break after Madison caught Austen cheating on her. Viewers got to see Madison catch Austen in the act, which the producers love to playback every season. Austen and Madison officially called it quits for good in December 2020 after a rough season 7. Other than Madison, Austen found himself in a love triangle when Lindsay Hubbard joined the Winter House. The friends admitted they had been intimate in the past but never got to explore their relationship. However, Austen wasn't interested in Lindsay after developing a connection with Ciara.

Even though Ciara and Austen are not together right now, they both seem up to rekindling their relationship in the future. They had a lot of fun during their date earlier in the season and seemed to develop a real connection with each other. Austen may have found the one in Ciara.
