outhern Charm” star Craig Conover told “Watch What Happens Live” host Andy Cohen last month that he was seeing someone new. This admission came just a few short weeks after his split from “Summer House” star Paige DeSorbo, his girlfriend of three years. Conover has yet to confirm the identity of the new lady in his life. But he keeps getting spotted with the same woman. Recently, the pair were seen in a place that DeSorbo refused to move.
Who is the ‘Southern Charm’ Star Craig Conover’s New Girlfriend?
On the March 27th episode of WWHL, Conover sat alongside his “Southern Charm” co-stars Shep Rose and Austen Kroll while Cohen grilled him about his relationship status.
When Cohen asked if he was dating anyone “specifically,” Conover responded with a sly smile, saying, “I am.” He refused to give a name but hinted at fate playing a role in his new romance.
“I’ve been reminded that the universe works in crazy ways. But everything happens for a reason,” he said.
As soon as Conover made that comment, fans and online gossip enthusiasts started piecing together clues to identify the mystery woman.
An anonymous tip submitted to Deux Moi claimed that Conover’s new girlfriend is Natalie Buffett, the former girlfriend of Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. According to the submission, Buffett was spotted in the audience of the WWHL taping, which seemed to confirm the connection.
Craig Conover and Natalie Buffett Spotted in Charleston

Despite Deux Moi labeling the tip as “confirmed,” there has been no official word from Conover or Buffett about their relationship status. Still, they’ve been spotted together a few times in recent weeks. The latest sighting comes from a photo shared by Bravo and Cocktails on Insthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzg5DUVbNF4agram. An insider revealed that Conover and Buffett had visited a Harris Teeter grocery store in Charleston, South Carolina.
Of course, this is where “Southern Charm” is filmed. It’s also a location that caused Conover a lot of problems during his relationship with DeSorbo.
During their three-year relationship, Conover lived with DeSorbo in New York City. But it seems they each had a different idea about where they would live in the future. Conover wanted Desorbo to move to Charleston, but she wasn’t interested in leaving the Big Apple.
Paige DeSorbo Says She Feels ‘Gaslit’ by the ‘Southern Charm’ Star
During a recent interview with Us Weekly, DeSorbo explained that uprooting her life in New York to be with Conover didn’t make sense to her because she was the “breadwinner.” She claims that she repeatedly told Conover that if he didn’t want to live in New York, he could end the relationship.
“I love Craig. When I think about me and Craig breaking up, I get upset. I’m like, ‘No. I don’t want him with anyone else. I don’t want to be with anyone else.’ So, I get conflicted,” DeSorbo said.
She then questioned herself on her inability to compromise before admitting, “I feel like I’m being gaslit into things that I need to compromise on.”
“Southern Charm” is now streaming on Peacock—new episodes of “Summer House” air Wednesday nights on Bravo.
