Kristin Cavallari breaks silence on romance rumors with Southern Charm heartthrob Austen Kroll after sex confession spree

Kristin Cavallari firmly shot down the swirl of romance rumors connecting her to Southern Charm heartthrob Austen Kroll.

The 39-year-old recently included Kroll in her summer holiday to Mallorca, amid a group that also contained her longtime close pal and hair colorist Justin Anderson. 

Kroll's presence ignited a storm of speculation about him and Cavallari, who has gone viral in recent years for indulging in a spree of sex confessions.

However she has now clarified that 'there was zero hooking up,' adding: 'We weren't even like flirty or anything. It's like, he's a buddy,' on her podcast Let's Be Honest.

Anderson, who was appearing on the episode with her, corroborated her version of events and insisted there had been 'none of that weird tension.'

He confessed he had been 'nervous' he would end up having to watch Kroll make advances to Cavallari while drunk, but noted his fears had been misplaced.

The Daily Mail has contacted Kroll's representatives for comment. 

The vacation to Mallorca was a four-person trip rounded out by Anderson's longtime love Austin Rhodes, who achieved his own YouTube fame under the sobriquet Scoot.

Cavallari confirmed her single status on her new podcast episode, saying dating was 'not something that's part of my life at the moment and hasn't been for a minute.'

In the run-up to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding this summer, fans unearthed a flirty interaction that Cavallari had with the groom nearly three years earlier.

The exchange unfolded when Kelce appeared on Cavallari's podcast in September 2023, a mere three days before he and Swift took their relationship public.

'I first learned who you were in 2016 when your show Catching Kelce was on E!' Cavallari said during the interview. 'You were 100% my TV crush when this show was on. I was in love with you. How long does it take for you to know if you're gonna like someone or not? Because I feel like I know immediately.'

Kelce trod gingerly around the subject, saying: 'To really dive into a relationship with somebody, I feel like it's gonna take at least....I don't know, it's gonna take some time.'

Cavallari was married to Kelce's fellow NFL star Jay Cutler from 2013 until 2020, during which time they had three children - Camden, 13, Jaxon, 11, and Saylor, 10.

She went viral last month for insisting she does not receive 'any money' from Cutler, who retired from the NFL three years before they split.

Cavallari further claimed that she 'had to give him half the value of' her jewelry line Uncommon James 'and properties and everything else,' on the podcast Aspire, hosted by Khloe Kardashian's Good American co-founder Emma Grede.

In the years since her divorce, Cavallari lifted the curtain on her star-studded past, dishing that action movie hunk Jason Statham was her 'hottest hookup.'

The Nashville-based reality star also copped to having a fling with country heartthrob Morgan Wallen, whom she described as 'a great f*** buddy.'

She clarified that their encounter was not 'romantic,' but added that he was a 'gentleman' with a 'big heart,' on Bunnie XO's podcast Dumb Blonde.

Her last public boyfriend was the 26-year-old TikTok heartthrob Mark Estes, whose 'really good' bedroom skills she raved about after their split.

During her time as an MTV reality star, she was linked to her castmate Stephen Colletti, and she has since run around with Brody Jenner and Justin Bobby.

On her star-making show Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, she and her castmate Lauren Conrad were shown to be in a love triangle over Stephen Colletti.

However, a few years ago, the two women revealed that they were in fact both dallying with their other castmate Talan Torriero at the time.

During her podcast tour last year, Cavallari claimed Lindsay Lohan once found her in bed with Torriero and began throwing kitchenware as a result, via Us Weekly.
