Craig Conover is officially flying solo (again). The Southern Charm star has had a rough run in the romance department lately.
After calling it quits with Summer House legend Paige DeSorbo late last year, Craig gave dating another try with Natalie Buffett. But just a few months in, that fizzled too – and now he’s owning up to the fact that maybe he jumped back in too soon.
Now, it seems the Sewing Down South owner will be flying sew-lo for a while.
Craig Conover is single as of June 2025, after briefly dating Natalie Buffett
Craig confirmed his relationship status during the June 25 episode of The Toast podcast, telling host Jackie Oshry that he’s single.
“I was seeing a really, really nice girl,” he shared, without naming names (though we all already know it was Natalie). He added that she “will be someone’s perfect person” one day, just not his – at least not right now.
“I just wasn’t ready to date, but I didn’t know that,” Craig admitted. “There’s no guidebook for this.” He went on to say, “I really was like, ‘Oh, I have some healing to do. I have to go find myself again.’”
Craig’s romantic reset comes after his highly public and eventually contentious breakup with Paige, who revealed earlier this year that she ended their three-year relationship after Thanksgiving. The fallout played out on Southern Charm and Summer House, with both airing their sides. Paige even claimed his supposed engagement ring never existed.
Craig, of course, came with proof. On the podcast, he pulled up a photo of the ring, taken in March 2024 and geotagged in Charleston. “It was a really fun process and I’m excited to do it, you know, again one day,” he said.
He and Natalie, who previously dated NFL star Dak Prescott, reconnected earlier this year. However, the timing didn’t stick. She recently confirmed on Instagram that she’s not dating anyone specific at the moment.
Craig hinted that all the public attention may have stalled things, and said he’s not quite ready for setups either. “I just think my fear of rejection is way too high,” he confessed.
For now, Craig is focused on a new chapter. He’ll be spending the fall living in London. He says he’s taking time to heal, reflect, and figure out what he really wants, without the pressure of a relationship or the reality TV spotlight weighing him down.
Southern Charm streams on Peacock. The show streams on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
