Kristin Cavallari Breaks Silence On Fling With Craig Conover

Kristin Cavallari is peeling back the curtain on a reality television rumor mill that's spun for well over a decade. On the latest installment of Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour, the Laguna Beach and The Hills alum confirmed what fans everywhere long suspected. She did hook up with Southern Charm star Craig Conover while vehemently denying that anything ever happened with his co-star, Austen Kroll.

The detail was dropped during an open and playful on-air chit-chat between Kristin and Austen himself. "Did anything ever happen between the two of us?" Kristin asked point-blank. Austen's reply, "You and me? Well...No, nothing happened between Kristin and I." And that ended the yearslong whispers about a love triangle that had Bravo fans buzzing since 2020.

She went on to describe how the wires got crossed. At the time, she was frequently seen out with both Bravo stars, sparking a social media frenzy. "Craig, we started hanging out, and Austen was taking the heat for it," she said. And it appears the spark was genuine with Craig but strictly platonic to Austen. And then, the deal sealer, Craig, showed up to a Kristin's Let's Be Honest podcast live taping in New York. He also reinforced the idea that her version of events had been the correct one, "No one ever really knew what was going on. We had all met at that time and just hit it off, and we all had a blast."

Kristin is opening up on her new E! series, which is continuing to redefine how famous women tell their own stories. Instead of letting the tabloids script her life, she's claiming her own past on her own terms. This is the leading edge of a phenomenon among reality stars who, in a world obsessed with who's dating who, are rewriting the rules of storytelling. Just one short, behind-the-scenes fling with Craig and a lot of speculation. We can always rely on Kristin Cavallari to set the record straight with some good old truth-telling and style.
