Brynn Whitfield is setting the record straight about her rumored romance with “Southern Charm” star Austen Kroll after a photo of them posing together at BravoCon went viral.
“Not dating Austen, [but] he’s very sweet,” the “RHONY” star, 36, told Page Six exclusively on Tuesday night, at the Glamour Magazine Women of the Year gala.
“We’re not filming [‘RHONY’] anymore, so if I can’t stir the pot in New York anymore, I’ve got to stir the pot in Charleston,” she sarcastically joked, referring to Kroll’s hometown in South Carolina, as she co-hosted the red carpet at the New York City event.
Whitfield cheekily added that she plans on stirring so many pots, she hopes to develop “carpal tunnel from the stirring!”
While Whitfield isn’t dating Kroll, she has previously admitted to having a crush on another “Southern Charm” star.
Last July, during an appearance on “WWHL,” Whitfield confessed that she thought Shep Rose was “cute.”

“When I saw that, I thought it was very flattering,” Rose exclusively told Page Six after Whitfield’s confession.
The two even began messaging each other on Instagram.
“I sent her a nice message — a very benign nice message — ‘Thank you, look forward to meeting you,’ and she’s like, ‘Yeah, me too,’” Rose shared.
“WWHL” host Andy Cohen tried playing matchmaker at Bravocon when Whitfield, Rose and Kroll were all on a panel together.
“You expressed some interest in Shep at some point,” he said to Whitfield before noting her slightly embarrassed face.
“I think we’re really good friends,” she replied.
A video of the moment was later shared on the BravoTV account alongside the caption: “Who do you think is a better match for Brynn Whitfield… Shep Rose or Austen Kroll?!”
“c.) none of the above 🥳😉🤣,” Whitfield wrote in the comments section, so her feelings for Rose must have changed since they started talking.
As you can tell, Whitfield’s first BravoCon was quite eventful. Especially after she went viral when her high heels got stuck in an escalator.
“It’s an OK stigma to have, being inept at escalators,” she said about the funny moment. “Thank God I was wearing Louboutins and thank god as Erika Jayne says, that I had a pedicure.”
