Craig Conover has officially moved on in 2025, stepping into a new romance after his very public breakup with Paige DeSorbo. The Southern Charm star confirmed the news himself during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on March 27, 2025.
When Cohen pressed him about his love life, Conover didn’t hold back, stating outright, “Yeah, I’m seeing someone. It’s been nice.” He didn’t drop a name, but he did clarify one thing: it’s not his co-star Salley Carson, despite speculation linking them. This revelation sent fans into a frenzy, wondering who the mystery woman might be.
Who Is Craig Conover’s New Girlfriend in 2025?
It didn’t take long before rumors pointed to Natalie Buffett, a name well-known in the sports and influencer world. Buffett, who previously dated Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott for several years before their split in 2022, has recently been linked to Detroit Tigers pitcher Jack Flaherty. Now, she’s reportedly been spending time in Charleston, Conover’s home base, fueling speculation that she’s the woman in question.
Reality Blurb reported on March 28, 2025, that multiple sources claimed to have spotted Buffett and Conover together in the city, leading fans to believe she might be the new woman in his life. Some reports even claim that the two were seen dining at one of Charleston’s upscale restaurants and later attending a private gathering with close friends. While neither Conover nor Buffett have confirmed anything publicly, their rumored connection has set social media buzzing, with fans dissecting their every move.
Craig Conover’s Notable Past Relationships
Conover’s dating history has been quite the rollercoaster, marked by high-profile relationships, reality TV drama, and unexpected breakups. His first serious relationship in the public eye was with Naomie Olindo, whom he started dating in 2015. Their relationship played out on Southern Charm, with fans witnessing both the highs and the explosive lows.
By 2017, the couple had called it quits, citing differences in goals and lifestyles. Olindo had aspirations of pursuing further education and opening her own business, while Conover was still figuring out his professional path. While his girlfriend Olindo moved on quickly, Conover took his time before diving into another serious relationship.
In October 2021, sparks flew between Craig Conover and Paige DeSorbo, the Summer House and Winter House star. The two had met in 2019 but remained just friends until their romance ignited while filming Winter House. Their chemistry was undeniable, and soon, they became one of Bravo’s most talked-about couples. They navigated a long-distance relationship, with DeSorbo based in New York and Conover in Charleston, making frequent visits to see each other.
Despite their efforts, cracks began to show by late 2023, with fans picking up on signs of trouble. Their differing lifestyles, career aspirations, and opinions on settling down became apparent as time went on. By December 2024, DeSorbo announced their breakup on her Giggly Squad podcast, stating it was a “mutual decision” and that they still had “so much love and respect” for each other.

However, Conover later refuted this claim, telling Vulture in early 2025 that the split “wasn’t mutual at all” and that he had been blindsided. “I thought we were working through things, and then suddenly, it was over,” he said. Some sources close to the couple revealed that their busy schedules and differing long-term goals had created tension, making the relationship increasingly difficult to sustain.
Now, just a few months later, Craig Conover appears to be in a much better place. His latest relationship—though not yet officially confirmed to be with Natalie Buffett—marks a new chapter for him. The Bravo star has always been open about wanting a stable, committed relationship, and it seems like he’s found someone who aligns with that vision. While Conover has remained relatively tight-lipped about his new romance, those close to him suggest that he is “happier than he’s been in a long time.”
Whether or not this new romance will play out on Southern Charm remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure: fans will be keeping a close eye on Conover’s love life in 2025. With social media sleuths tracking every detail and Bravo fans eager for more updates, this new chapter in Conover’s personal life is bound to be a major talking point for months to come.
