Southern Charm fans have seen many friendships come and go on the series, but when Austen Kroll joined the cast in season 4, his instant bond with Craig Conover was hard to miss. Craig quickly connected with Austen in 2016 when he started filming with the Charleston, South Carolina, residents. Unlike most of the original cast who come from Southern aristocracy, both Craig and Austen are working men. Their struggles to get their careers off the ground paired with their relationship highs and lows bonded them.
