Southern Charm’sMadison LeCroycan envision a world in which her ex-boyfriendAusten Krolland her husbandBrett Randlemight strike up a friendship.
When asked during anAmazon Livesession on Thursday who Randle, 37, considers a friend among theSouthern Charmcast, LeCroy said, “I guessCraig [Conover]would probably be the closest to who Brett’s friends with."
She continued, “I think it would be weird if him and Austen were friends hanging out, but I think that they could maybe be friends.”
LeCroy, 32, recalled meeting Randle while visiting Sedona, Arizona for a bachelorette party.

Before they left the bar, LeCroy said Randle came “running after me, and he’s like, ‘Hey, hey, hey wait! I gotta get your name.’” The reality star also gave him her phone number. “And then he flew to Charleston and took me out on a date that next week,” LeCroy said. “I did a background check on him, though, just to make sure he checked out.”
She announced her engagement to Randle in October 2020 and the twosaid “I do” at a Charleston, South Carolina, courthousein November. They followed up the courthouse wedding with anintimate ceremony in Mexico later that month.

LeCroy and Kroll, 36, dated on and off for nearly three years before calling it quits in December 2020. The reality stars continued to argue throughout the seasons, and while LeCroy thinks she and Kroll might not ever see eye to eye, she tried to move past their differences going into season 9.
“I think that him and I will kind of always butt heads a little bit,” she tells PEOPLE. “But at the same time, I was just trying to be the bigger person for once. I knew he wasn’t going to do it.”
The mom of son Hudson, 10, admits she didn’t find herself surprised when she heard thatKroll hooked up withhis exOlivia Flowers’ good friendTaylor Ann Greenafter Green, 28,broke upwith Kroll’s longtime palShep Rose, 43.
“I noticed the chemistry between the two of them last year,” LeCroy says of Green and Kroll. “If anything, I was more surprised at the fact that Taylor would do something like that to one of her best friends.”
LeCroy realized “girl code was broken” in that moment. “That was sad to see,” she says. “I know Olivia obviously had been going through a lot, and you could kind of see me step in as a big sister to her and voice my opinion on why I thought that it shouldn’t have happened.”

Theseason 9 trailerteases that LeCroy might be expecting her second child, her first with Randle. But she if Hudson had it his way, he’d stay an only child.
“Hudson said that I wasn’t allowed to have any more children until he went to college, which was kind of funny,” LeCroy says. “Now, he’s more open to it. Brett and I are about to hit one year of marriage, so [we’re] just enjoying our time together and making this house a home so we can plan for our future family.”
