Craig Conover appears to have a new lady in his life.
“Looks like Craig has a new girl!” Real Moms of Bravo suspected in the caption of a photo of Craig and the unidentified woman on Instagram.
As fans may have seen, Craig, who engaged in a brief romance with Charley Manley, 28, amid season 11, reshared a video posted by a friend on his own page that featured the mystery girl.
Since splitting from Paige in late 2024, Craig has kept a fairly low profile when it comes to his dating life. Although he did take interest in Charley in 2025, he has yet to make things official with anyone. That said, he was linked to country singer Kelsea Ballerini, 32, back in April.
“Rumors are swirling that Craig Conover of Bravo’s ‘Southern Charm’ is dating someone new and not just anyone, but someone from his past,” read a report from Deuxmoi at the time. “If these rumors prove true, it would be quite the twist. Adding to the drama, insiders claim her ex-boyfriend is spiraling over the news. Details remain unconfirmed, so we’re not naming ‘her’ just yet but stay tuned as more information could surface!”
It was then alleged that Kelsea, who previously won a date with Craig in a charity auction, which she later forfeited, was the “someone from [Craig’s] past.”
“I have it on good authority that Craig Conover is dating Kelsea Ballerini!” Your Moms Are Watching alleged on Instagram.
As for Paige and Charley’s relationship statuses, Paige has been dating Joe D’Amelio since early 2025, and Charley has been in a relationship with Justin Assada, 29, of Southern Hospitality, for the past several months.
Southern Charm season 12 is currently in production and expected to begin airing sometime later this year.
