Craig Conover Reveals He’s Dating Someone New After Paige DeSorbo Breakup

It seems Craig Conover is still very much on the market.

In fact, the Southern Charm star's rumored new girlfriend, influencer Natalie Buffett, recently clarified her relationship status and hinted that she and the reality star might no longer be dating.

Responding to a fan asking about her love life, the 27-year-old wrote in her Instagram Stories June 8, "If you're new here you should know that I never have and never will comment on any current or past relationship."

"I'm not dating anyone specific," Natalie added, "and just really enjoying the season I'm in right now with my family and friends and traveling the world."

Natalie's update comes over two months after Craig—who split from Paige DeSorbo in November after three years together—revealed he had moved on from the Summer House star with someone new.

“You know, when I date, I tend to date only one person at a time,” the Sewing Down South founder told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live March 27, “so I've been seeing someone.”

"I've been reminded that the universe works in crazy ways," the 36-year-old added, "but everything happens for a reason."

As for Paige's thoughts on her ex's new flame?

“I love it,” the 32-year-old reacted during an April 24 appearance on Watch What Happens Live. “I’m so happy for him.”

The Giggly Squad podcast cohost also confirmed she’s “absolutely dating people" after breaking up with Craig last year, but clarified there has been nothing serious by noting she is “having a very good time."

As for how Craig is doing six months after his breakup from Paige, he recently revealed how his Bravo costars and fans have lifted him up during his darkest days.

"I've never felt more supported in my life," he gushed during Southern Charm's season 10 reunion in March. "The thousands of people that watch our shows, so many people related to it. So many people were like, 'I know you don't want to hear this, but it just takes time.' It was a shared experience, which was really special and helped me feel less alone."

Putting Breakup Rumors to Rest

Amid online speculation that the couple had broken up, Craig shut down the breakup rumors.

"I don't know where that came from, because we're together, like, every week," he told E! News in December 2024. "So, no, Paige and I are not broken up. We're still together."

Following months of split speculation, Paige announced over the 2024 holidays that she and Craig had officially split after three years of dating.

“No one did anything. It wasn’t a bad thing,” Paige said during her Dec. 30 Giggly Squad podcast episode. “I think we both were just being really mature and saying what we want and what we didn’t want, and I think that’s extremely powerful to be able to voice how you’re feeling in real time and what you want for your future.”

The influencer also shot down rumors of cheating between her and the Southern Charm star and insisted the parting of ways was amicable.

“I think he is one of the best people I’ve met in my entire life,” Paige continued.  “I will remain the biggest fan of him and want the best for him, and he truly will get the best because he is the best.”

Craig Conover Addresses the Split

Over a week after the breakup news went public, Craig shared his side of the story.

"This has all been very, very unexpected, to say the least," Craig said in a video shared to Instagram Jan. 7. "I was very shocked and it's ok, it takes two people to be in a relationship. You can't control other people you can only control how you react to it."

That said, Craig also wants everyone to extend grace to his now-ex.

"I'm still processing everything, which is normal, I mean, three-year relationship, it's your best friend who you talk to all day, every day and then they're just gone," he noted. "So one day I'll be able to talk more on it but right now I just wanted to thank everyone for their kind messages."
