Is Craig Conover's new girlfriend Natalie Buffett heir to singer Jimmy Buffett's fortune? Here's what to know

However he did shed light on his blossoming romance, explaining: 'You know, when I date, I tend to date only one person at a time, so I've been seeing someone.' 

While on the show, Conover was asked if he had started dating again post-breakup, he said without hesitating: 'I am.'

But when Andy pressed further, asking if he was seeing anyone in particular, Craig paused - just long enough for an audience member to shout out a name.

'No, it's not Salley,' he clarified, addressing the rumor he's dating his new costar Salley Carson. 'Sorry, I heard someone say that.'

The handsome star also reflected on the timing of his new connection. 'I've been reminded that the universe works in crazy ways. But everything happens for a reason.'

Craig didn't just open up about dating again - he also got real about what led to his breakup with Paige.

During part one of Southern Charm's reunion, the Bravo star shed new light on where things went wrong, pointing to Paige's recent social media behavior as a turning point.

'To me, the person that she's kind of been since the breakup isn't the person that I remember dating,' Craig said.

'She's fighting with people in the comments. She's starting to say mean stuff about me based on what the internet is saying. I'm just like, "I didn't do anything to you."'

Though he owned up to his flaws - 'Sure, I wasn't a perfect boyfriend,' he admitted -Craig added, 'I had a lot of s*** that I had to work out. It's been an interesting breakup to say the least.'

And in a surprising twist, Craig revealed that Paige had once floated the idea of tying the knot at BravoCon 2025 - months before they actually split.

'I went to her apartment to just be like, "What’s happening?"' Craig recalled. 'And she was like, "I probably am making the worst mistake of my life, but I need to go find myself."

'And then I asked, "Well, what do you want me to do with the ring?" And she's like, "Well, keep it. Maybe we’ll get married at BravoCon."'

His appearance on the talk show comes shortly after he exclusively told DailyMail.com that he's ready to turn the page.

'I think I'm always ready to find love. I'm a big fan of, like, sharing your life with someone and, right now, I'm just excited to find someone to travel with,' he said on Valentine's Day. A lot of my life is on the road, so yeah, we'll see. We'll see what happens.'

During part one of Southern Charm's reunion, the Bravo star shed new light on where things went wrong, pointing to Paige's recent social media behavior as a turning point; former couple seen in 2023 in Beverly Hills 

He continued, 'But I think life's not worth living if it's not shared... I like sharing my life with people, so whether it's love from friends or my parents, I've always got love to give, and of course, one day I will be ready to receive it.'

Craig told DailyMail.com that he's open to being in another long-distance relationship as long as there's 'effort and compromise.'

'I'm not going to lie. I really enjoyed long distance. And I think living in two different places was so exciting, and getting to share those places with each other,' he said.

'I just feel like I'm drawn to that, especially because there's a lot of really incredible people in Charleston, but I have a lot of history there too, a lot of past chapters. So I'm a fan of long distance relationships, and I think it just comes down to effort and compromise. And just put the effort in, and if you do, it'll all work out okay.'

He also said that he hopes there will be 'healthy communication' with his future partner since he doesn't want to 'feel stress or insecure about' communicating.

The Southern Charm star and Summer House star had been dating for three years before they announced their shock breakup back in December.

Earlier this year in January, it was revealed that Paige has allegedly 'moved on' with a new romance following their split.

Austen Kroll - who stars alongside Conover in the Bravo series Southern Charm - made an appearance on WWHL at the time and opened up about the topic to host Andy Cohen.

DeSorbo sparked rumors that she was dating someone now when she was spotted with a mystery man during a Philadelphia Eagles game in January. 

A viewer questioned Kroll about the speculation that Paige was dating a new man to which he replied with, 'I don't think that those are rumors. I think that they've been substantiated.'

Austen then expressed that Craig 'knows as such. You know, he didn't know for a minute, but yeah. I think that he's fully come to terms with that. That's not a rumor.'

Cohen was seemingly surprised by the alleged revelation, and simply said in response, 'Wow, okay.'

Earlier this year in January, it was revealed that Paige has allegedly 'moved on' with a new romance following their split; seen earlier this month in NYC 

During the episode, Kroll also shared that he wasn't shocked over the news of Paige and Craig's split, explaining, 'the writing was on the wall.'

'I knew something was amiss for a month or so before I heard the news. I mean, she definitely was the dominate person in the relationship. That's a nice way of saying it.'

Not long after Austen made his comments on WWHL, DeSorbo herself responded to his claims on social media.

On an Instagram video of the interview shared by Bravo's WWHL account, she typed out, 'Ahhh yes a man I haven't spoken To in 6 months knows exactly what I'm doing.'
