Craig Conover on Southern Charm Season 10: ‘A Ton to Share’

Southern Charm’s ninth season was a particularly engaging one, what with Austen Kroll’s sloppy hookups coming back to haunt him and Olivia Flower’s uncanny ability to command respect and accountability from Taylor Ann Green. Craig Conover and Paige DeSorbo continued to navigate their relationship, while Shep Rose questioned his with alcohol.

Madison LeCroy was the picture of wedded bliss and recently confirmed via Instagram that the show would be returning for another season. So with all this teasing about an upcoming season, it’s worth noting Craig’s remarks about what is possible to expect for Season 10.

Craig teases the “interesting spot” that he and Shep are currently in

During a recent event in NYC, Craig exclusively told Us Weekly that he had “a ton to share” in the eventuality that Bravo cameras start rolling again in Charleston, South Carolina.

The Sewing Down South founder and his lady love appeared together at an event for Panera’s new menu update.

“If we come back, we’ve got a ton to share. I think the boys are in an interesting spot, especially me and Shep,” Craig said.

Fans will recall how the Southern Charm trio had a “very real, very raw” conversation about alcohol consumption when filming Season 9 in late 2023. And the Bravolebrity thinks that the situation is far from resolved.

“You saw a portion of a much longer conversation. [There’s] not enough time in an episode. Shep and I — we’ve kept things surface level [since the reunion]. We go to the gym at the same time and we see each other, but I think that’s a big conversation [to continue on the show],” Craig revealed. “Asking, ‘How was his trip to Costa Rica? What did he take from it and how is he living his life now?’ We haven’t had that conversation yet. So if we come back, I think it’s gonna be something that I’m excited to get off my chest. I’m excited to have a friendship with Shep again.”

Meanwhile, Austen has seemingly tamed his ways and settled down, at least for now, with Audrey Pratt.

“He’s actually calling [her] his girlfriend,” Craig dished. “I’m rooting for him always and we love her. She’s great. She came to me and Paige’s New Year’s party at our house. We’ll see what happens with him,”

As for Craig, life changed drastically over ten years. He has a massively successful company, called Sewing Down South. His “real relationship” with Paige has charmed viewers.

Craig reflected on the past nine seasons. He said, “After 10 years, fortunately, [I’m] going into this new era in my life.”

This “new era” includes cutting back on drinking. And that has raised some questions about the people that Craig spends his time with.

“I don’t really drink anymore — I still have drinks — but what does that look like for me now?” he told Us Weekly. “Does Charleston still fit? Does my friend group still fit? All things that I’m excited to explore but I think people would be excited to keep watching.”
