?And just like that ? our world is changing in the most magical way!? the 34-year-old Madison expressed joyfully on Instagram on Thursday, February 6, posting a heartwarming photo of a positive pregnancy test that has sent her followers into a frenzy of excitement.
Prior to her happy marriage to Brett, Madison navigated several high-profile relationships with notable stars, including Alex Rodriguez and Jay Cutler. For those curious about her romantic journey, here?s an extensive breakdown of Madison?s relationship history:
The Early Days: Madison’s Marriage to Josh Hughes
Madison embarked on her first marriage in 2010 to Josh Hughes (whose photo can be seen in the second slide of the Instagram post above) when she was just 20 years old. Two years into their union, in November 2012, they welcomed their son, Hudson, into the world. However, despite their initial happiness, Madison and Josh decided to part ways in 2015, a development covered by Us Weekly. Since then, Madison has embraced her role as a dedicated single mother, proudly asserting her independence and stating on multiple occasions that she thrives without the need for a partner.
Navigating Romance: Madison?s On-and-Off Relationship with Austen Kroll
Madison initiated a romantic relationship with her Southern Charm co-star Austen Kroll during the sixth season of the Bravo series, where she made her debut. Their relationship was characterized by a series of breakups and reconciliations from 2018 to 2020, ultimately culminating in a final separation in December, which they both confirmed to Us Weekly. Madison candidly stated at the time, ?We are not together right now. I am 1,000 percent single, and so is he,? adding a striking invitation for other women: ?So, ladies, if you want him, you can have him.?
Madison later reflected on how the COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing quarantine impacted their relationship, noting, ?I definitely think that quarantine was either gonna make it or break [our] relationship, and unfortunately, we did not come out stronger.? She elaborated that they did not spend much time in quarantine together, and upon reflection, they realized that the complications from their past were too significant to overcome in such a confined setting.
Austen, for his part, classified their relationship as ?toxic.? During an early 2021 reunion episode of Southern Charm, he conveyed his emotional turmoil, stating, ?My heart just broke over and over again. I saw what all my friends have been telling me for years: She does not f?king care about me and she never f?king has.?
The Brief Romance: Madison and John Pringle

John Pringle joined the cast of Southern Charm during its seventh season and quickly became infatuated with Madison, who at that time was still involved with Austen but was nearing the end of that chapter. Their flirtation was prominently featured in the fall of 2020. In December, Madison revealed to Us Weekly her intention to keep John firmly in the friend zone, which stirred further intrigue among fans.
Following their connection, John shared insights with Entertainment Tonight, expressing that he felt like a ?bit of a pawn? in Madison?s strategy to elicit jealousy from Austen. He commented on Madison?s calculated moves, saying, ?She knows what she?s doing. You know, what strings she?s pulling to get a reaction out of him, and it usually works.?
The Controversy: Madison?s Fling with Jay Cutler

Madison?s relationship with Jay Cutler took a dramatic turn in late 2020 when rumors began circulating about their casual dating?just nine months after his split from Kristin Cavallari, following a lengthy marriage of seven years and three children. During this period, Kristin also made headlines for her interactions with Austen and his Southern Charm co-star Craig in Charleston, further fueling the drama.
In November 2020, Madison stirred the pot by leaving a provocative comment on Jay?s photo featuring Shannon Ford, writing, ?See y?all soon.? This remark raised eyebrows, especially since Shannon had a tumultuous falling out with Kristin, adding another layer to the unfolding drama.
The situation escalated when Madison went live on Instagram, where she taunted Kristin regarding a previous live session that involved Austen. Following this, Jay and Kristin appeared to present a united front, sharing a social media post that read, ?The world is full of users. 10 years. Can?t break that,? which further fueled speculation.
Madison didn?t hold back, retaliating by releasing screenshots of past conversations with Jay, asserting that he was the one who initiated their interactions. She defended her actions regarding her posts about Kristin, and in December 2020, Kristin clarified her friendship with Austen, aiming to quell the rumors.
The Buzz: Madison and Alex Rodriguez

Following the whirlwind with Jay, Madison found herself at the center of attention once again with rumors of a connection to superstar Alex Rodriguez. In early 2021, reports emerged that Alex had developed an online relationship with Madison, igniting speculation about their status. In February, Madison clarified to Page Six that while they had been communicating through FaceTime, they had never met in person, which left many fans intrigued.
Madison stated, ?He?s never physically cheated on his fiancée with me,? emphasizing that both she and Alex were innocent in the situation. However, a spokesperson for Alex confirmed that he had never met Madison in person. Meanwhile, Alex?s fiancée, Jennifer Lopez, maintained a conspicuous silence regarding the unfolding events.
The drama peaked during the January reunion episode of Southern Charm, where Craig accused Madison of flying to Miami to meet with an ex-MLB player. This accusation was significant as Alex owns a property in Miami and is celebrated as one of the most accomplished players in New York Yankees history.
Madison made her relationship with Brett Instagram official in June 2021, sharing an adorable photo of them cozying up on a boat, which delighted her followers. The couple reportedly crossed paths during a girls? trip to Arizona, leading to their blossoming romance. By October 2021, Madison confirmed their engagement to Us Weekly, and they joyfully tied the knot in November 2022.
In December 2024, Madison revealed a heartbreaking update during the December 12 episode of Southern Charm, sharing that Brett had been diagnosed with thyroid cancer in the fall of 2023. This diagnosis came shortly after the couple had expressed their desire to start a family.
She explained that after the removal of a ?three-centimeter nodule,? Brett was cancer-free but faced some ?complications? during his recovery, which was a challenging time for both of them.
?Some days I just want to scream,? Madison confided, revealing that even the simplest questions about starting a family could trigger her emotions. ?Whether that be someone asking, ?When are you having a child?’? she shared, noting that they had just begun to plan for a baby, but those plans were now on hold.
Fast forward to February 2025, and the couple is overjoyed to announce that they are expecting their first child together!
