Craig Conover and Austen Kroll's bromance might be headed for a breakup.
The longtime BFFs seemingly have a major falling out in Southern Charm's dramatic season 10 trailer.
In the first look—released Oct. 28—Craig tells his costar, "You can either accept the life that I live now or not."
However, Austen isn't buying his Pillows and Beer podcast cohost's new settled-down—and sobered up—lifestyle with girlfriend of three years Paige DeSorbo.
When he notes, "If Craig's seen with like a beer in his hand, he thinks his whole business is going down," Shep Rose agrees, "Cutting himself off from everyone is not a solution."
And when Paige catches wind of Craig's former pals bad-mouthing their relationship, the Summer House star tells him, "Austen and Shep are foaming at the mouth to say they're changed because of me."
Tensions between Craig and Austen come to a head when Craig bluntly tells his costar, "Our friendship will never look like it used to," to which Austen replies, "I knew that's how you were going to take it," before storming out of Craig's house.
But Craig and Austen's feud isn't the only change rocking Charleston as several surprising new romances have emerged. Longtime bachelor Shep debuts a new girlfriend with whom he says he's in love with.
However, when Madison LeCroy calls his new lady "a big fan of Southern Charm," Patricia Altschul labels her a major "stalker."
Plus, Patricia's son Whitney Sudler-Smith adds, "Shep is being delusional."
Meanwhile, Jarrett “JT” Thomas is making moves on Venita Aspen. "Am I extremely attracted to you? Yes," he tells her in the preview. "Are we on the same page?"
As for new cast member Molly O'Connell, she drops a bombshell about her past with Craig. "Craig and I used to sext either," she confides in Madison. "I mean, I'm not trying to steal him from Paige or anything."

After just one year of marriage, resident southern belle Madison grapples with the loss of her father and finds herself dealing with issues far from her days as the single party girl. While she focuses on her family, she finds out that JT is meddling in rumors that cross the line.
Venita Aspen
After breaking up with boyfriend Manny last year, Venita realizes that she and JT have an undeniable attraction and connection that goes deeper than most. She starts to question her feelings toward him amidst preserving her own friendships with those he may not be on the best terms with.
Ryan Albert
Ryan is a true southern gentleman within Charleston’s elite social scene. Along with his husband, Dr. Eddie Irions, he’s among Patricia’s closest friends.
Austen Kroll
Surprising himself by defining the relationship, Austen is finally happy with a new long-distance girlfriend and focused on reviving his beer business. While his love life is on the up and up, his friendship with Craig is on the rocks as the former partners-in-crime find themselves at a crucial point of disagreement with no clear path forward.
Jarrett "JT" Thomas
JT continues to be an outspoken rabble-rouser, stirring up controversy wherever he goes. Despite his best intentions, his rapport with many in the group starts to go up in flames. However, Venita turns out to be his constant and offers a shoulder to lean on as he tries to mend friendships.
Shep Rose
After Shep’s declaration to change at the end of last season, he attended an ayahuasca retreat in Costa Rica and is now determined to make real growth. He has even fallen head-over-heels in love with the former Miss Bahamas, but the group questions if she feels the same way about him.
Craig Conover
Craig seems to be thriving both professionally and personally, steadfast in his belief that Paige is “The One.” But after taking time away from Shep last year, he finds his longstanding friendships are on shaky ground as both Austen and Shep question what happened to their former confidante.
Leva Bonaparte
Leva continues to be a sounding board for her friends and isn’t afraid to call out their bad behavior when they step out of line.
Taylor Ann Green
Taylor has moved on from her relationship with Shep, last year’s drama with Austen and is unapologetically in love with her new boyfriend, a Charleston mainstay whom everyone has an opinion. She’s dedicated to setting boundaries – from friendships to past flames – so that nothing can threaten her newfound happiness.
Rodrigo Reyes
Rodrigo finds himself balancing a stable home life with his partner and dealing with the drama of his closest confidantes. He’s unapologetic about giving his opinion and ready to take sides if necessary.
Molly O'Connell
Molly is a quirky southern belle, friendly but unfiltered, who grew up in Charleston and left to model all over the world. She’s returned home to be closer to her family and friends, and her longtime entanglements with the men of the group lead her to wonder exactly how she fits in.
Salley Carson
Salley is the latest to grace Charleston’s vibrant social scene. She’s a bubbly party girl by night and a robotics technician for surgical procedures by day. The debutante is gorgeous, intelligent and independent, and she shares a curiously parallel romantic past with Taylor.
