The $30 million toe in the water

Kyle Cooke and Craig Conover, two Bravo TV stars, have put their past feud behind them as they were spotted having a fun-filled day with Austen Kroll in South Carolina.. The trio, all of whom star on Bravo TV shows, were seen laughing and smiling at an outdoor party in Seabrook Island, South Carolina.

This reunion holds a lot of weight among Bravo fans after Cooke and Conover feuded in 2024 over the alcohol businesses and after Conover and Kroll had a rocky season of Southern Charm.

Who is the unnamed buyer?

The friends have been friends for years but that hasn't stopped them from feuding over Loverboy and loyalty. Cooke launched his alcohol brand, Loverboy, in 2018, with his now-wife, Amanda Batula, and friend Carl Radke by his side.

Five years later, the canned cocktails landscape had grown even bigger and pal star can be seen holding onto Conover, who is standing in the front of the picture with a drink in hand, while Kroll, 38, pointed at the duo's rekindled friendship.

An echo of Sydney's 2024 institutional buy-up

The second picture showed the guys goofing off next to a boat filled with ice and drinks,enjoying the sunset. Kroll reposted Cooke's Instagram post on his own Instagram Story, adding Thin Lizzy's The Boys Are Back in Town to celebrate the big moment.

Austen Kroll joined the cast of Southern Charm in season 4 , and 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.

What auditors flagged in the May filing

Unlike most of the original cast at the time, before working with Spritz Society, he offered to buy into Kroll's beer company, Trophop, but his costar allegedly declined his offer. Conover also alleged that he would have loved to invest in Loverboy, but it was not an option.

Cooke, however, claimed in June 2024 that he told Conover he wanted to put an offer on the table and possibly counter Spritz Society's offer to invest, but Conover told him it was too late.

Broader context

The feud between Kyle Cooke and Craig Conover was a long-standing one, with both stars having their own alcohol brands. Loverboy, launched by Cooke in 2018, was a major player in the canned cocktails landscape, while Spritz Society, founded by influencers Claudia Oshry, Jackie Oshry , and Ben Soffer in 2021, was a major competitor.

The feud between the two stars was a major talking point among Bravo fans, with many taking sides. however, it seems that the two stars have put their differences aside and are now on good terms.

Open questions

One question that remains unanswered is what exactly led to the feud between Kyle Cooke and Craig Conover. While Cooke claimed that there was no bad blood between them , he confessed to it rubbing him the wrong way when Conover told him about his work with a competitor.

Another question that remains unanswered is what exactly happened between Austen Kroll and Craig Conover during their rocky season of Southern Charm. While Kroll has spoken publicly about the feud, Conover has remained tight-lipped.
