Craig Conover & Natalie Buffett Dating Rumors Explained
Fans of Southern Charm star Craig Conover are curious to know about his relationship status and whether he is dating model and influencer Natalie Buffett. After Conover’s highly publicized breakup with Summer House’s Paige DeSorbo in late 2024, they are wondering if he has moved on and has a new girlfriend.
Are Craig Conover and Natalie Buffett dating?
Craig Conover hinted at having a new girlfriend during a March 2025 appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, saying, “I am [dating], and I’m really happy.” Shortly after, Us Weekly sources confirmed that the mystery woman is model and influencer Natalie Buffett.
The two actually met years ago and briefly dated in 2019, according to insiders. At the time, things didn’t work out due to bad timing. After several years and other relationships in between, the pair reportedly reconnected in early 2025.
“Craig wasn’t in a spot to date anyone seriously but loved reconnecting with her,” a source said. They began spending time together again in February, following his breakup with DeSorbo. For those unaware, Conover and Paige DeSorbo were together for three years, navigating a long-distance relationship.
Their split was made public in December 2024 when it was revealed that DeSorbo ended the relationship after Thanksgiving. Both later addressed rumors of cheating, with DeSorbo denying infidelity and Conover denying claims of texting other women during their time together.
As 2025 kicked off, Craig Conover celebrated New Year’s Eve in Aspen while his supposed new girlfriend was in nearby Vail. Since then, the duo has been spotted together in Charleston and NYC. They also follow each other on Instagram, adding to the buzz among fans. Insiders say Conover is “smitten” and that he’s enjoying the low-key nature of the relationship. “They are taking things slow, and it’s still pretty new, but Craig is all in,” the source revealed.
