Kristin Cavallari has firmly dismissed rumors of a romance with Austen Kroll after the pair went on holiday together in Mallorca.
The 39-year-old reality television star and the Southern Charm cast member traveled to Spain as part of a four-person trip. The group included Cavallari's hair colorist and close friend Justin Anderson, along with his partner Austin Rhodes, who is known on YouTube as Scoot.
Speculation began after Kroll joined the summer vacation, following a period where Cavallari has frequently discussed her sexual history in public.
Speaking on her Let's Be Honest podcast, Cavallari said "there was zero hooking up" during the trip.
"We weren't even like flirty or anything," she said. "It's like, he's a buddy."
Anderson appeared on the same episode and corroborated her account, stating there was "none of that weird tension."
He confessed he had been "nervous" that he would have to watch Kroll make drunken advances toward Cavallari, but realized his fears were misplaced.
The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Kroll for comment.
Cavallari confirmed she is currently single, saying dating is "not something that's part of my life at the moment and hasn't been for a minute."
Travis Kelce podcast interview
The dating rumors follow renewed interest in Cavallari's interaction with Travis Kelce, shortly before his wedding to Taylor Swift this summer.
Fans unearthed a flirty exchange from a September 2023 interview on Cavallari's podcast, recorded three days before the NFL player and the singer made their relationship public.
"I first learned who you were in 2016 when your show Catching Kelce was on E!" Cavallari told Kelce during the broadcast.
"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, responding cautiously.
"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," he said.
Divorce from Jay Cutler
Cavallari was previously married to Kelce's fellow NFL star Jay Cutler from 2013 to 2020. The couple share three children: Camden, 13, Jaxon, 11, and Saylor, 10.
She went viral last month after insisting she does not receive "any money" from Cutler, who retired from football three years before their split.
Speaking on the Aspire podcast, hosted by Good American co-founder Emma Grede, Cavallari claimed she "had to give him half the value of" her Uncommon James jewelry line, "and properties and everything else."
Recent dating history
Since her divorce, the Nashville-based star has spoken openly about her relationships and encounters with high-profile figures.
She previously named action movie actor Jason Statham as her "hottest hookup."
Appearing on the Dumb Blonde podcast hosted by Bunnie XO, Cavallari also discussed a fling with country music singer Morgan Wallen, describing him as "a great f*** buddy."
She clarified the encounter was not "romantic," but called Wallen a "gentleman" with a "big heart."
Her last public boyfriend was 26-year-old TikTok creator Mark Estes. Following their split, Cavallari raved about his "really good" bedroom skills.
MTV reality television years
Cavallari first gained fame on the MTV series Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, where the show portrayed a love triangle between her, Lauren Conrad and Stephen Colletti.
A few years ago, Cavallari and Conrad revealed they were in fact both dallying with fellow cast member Talan Torriero at the time.
She has also been linked to Brody Jenner and Justin Bobby during her reality television career.
During a podcast tour last year, Cavallari claimed actress Lindsay Lohan once threw kitchenware after finding her in bed with Torriero, according to Us Weekly.
