Naomie Olindo first appeared on Southern Charm during Seasons 3 – 5. Naomie was a friend of the cast, and she was also the then-girlfriend of Craig Conover. They broke up, however, in between Seasons 4 -5. When Season 6 rolled around, Naomie took on a full-time position, but she was dating a new man, and she desired to follow this soon-to-be-ex to New York City, where he cheated on her to say hey, thanks for relocating for our love. Heartsick, Naomie ran back to Charleston, where she resumed her full-time position on Southern Charm in Season 8.
But Season 8 was rough for Naomie. She failed to connect with her fellow co-stars, and Craig was filming alongside his new lady friend, Paige DeSorbo. It was awkward-on-awkward, so Naomie namasted her way away from this series for good.
Following a lengthy romance, Craig and Paige just broke up. But I do not think this announcement will send Naomie running back to Southern Charm, as she and Craig were toxic together anyway. So what is Naomie filling her days with now that she is no longer starring in this series?
Naomie Olindo remains friends with several of her former Southern Charm co-stars
Naomie bonded with Taylor Ann Green and Olivia Flowers in Season 8. But these friendships lacked the same depths Naomie shared with several of her former Southern Charm co-stars from seasons past. Cue a meh final season of this series for Naomie. However, these newer friendships have continued to grow post-filming, so the chances are never zero on a possible return to filming via Naomie.
As for who Naomie is closest with, alum Chelsea Meissner is all over her Instagram page. This still-intact friendship makes sense. Naomie and Chelsea were tight leading up to Chelsea saying peace out, Bravo, just ahead of Season 7.
From nights out and trips to social media giveaways, Chelsea and Naomie continue to show up for each other in their non-Southern Charm eras. When Chelsea had her first child, Naomie was there. As was Cameran Eubanks, whom Naomie also keeps in touch with.
Likewise, Leva Bonaparte and Danni Baird are still in her orbit. Yet, out of all these contacts, many no longer appear in this series. This lack of strong friendships (alongside a few feuds) helps to explain why Naomie had a rough time connecting with her cast in Season 8.
However, Naomie just attended the grand opening of the By The Way Bar in South Carolina, owned by Craig and Austen Kroll. So, maybe all friendships are healing in the South?
Naomie Olindo also remains a resident of South Carolina, where she just purchased her dream home
This economy is making homeownership rather frustrating right now. Thankfully, Naomie is still making bank (more on this in a second), which helped her to purchase a slice of dirt to call her own. On December 27, 2024, Naomie shared several images of her new, albeit empty, purchase in Charleston, South Carolina. And her historic-looking home is stunning.
The Daily Dish captured her shared portraits, showing two equally pleased co-residents, her dog, Olive, and her new cat, Omlete.
The interior displays a gorgeous hardwood staircase, matching rustic flooring, a stone fireplace, French doors leading out to her new yard, and accents like chandeliers and oversized windows, which will likely combine during the golden hours at night to create stunning sunlit scenes on her interior walls.
“Olive got a new house today,” Naomie captioned her Stories, adding, “Thank you [Debbie Peretsman] and [Scott Cheney] for our new dream home!” Naomie also tagged Indigo Properties, the real estate agency that these tags represent.
Workwise, Naomie Olindo is expanding her L’ABEYE business
Like many others before (and after) her time, Naomie is no longer a Charmer. Yet, she is still collecting coins from the platform this series helped build. In 2018, Naomie launched the L’ABEYE fashion line, consisting of jumpsuits, rompers, and matching sets, equally curated to make their wearers look sophisticated while sticking to their less-than-charming budgets.
Abeille is French for honey bee, which the lyrics of Southern Charm speak of. We see what you did there, Naomie. But when Naomie stepped down from filming, she kept this name, working hard to diversify her online storefront.
In an interview with FIT NEWS, Naomie explained that her “biggest goal is to almost completely vertically integrate L’ABEYE from the real estate to the factories, to the textiles, and everything in between.” Naomie wants “to integrate not only to ensure the lowest prices and highest quality but also to have more control on the processes and things [she] truly care[s] about, like environmentally friendly production, safe working conditions, fair wages, green materials, etc. Unfortunately, those are hard to come by in the fast fashion industry because they affect the bottom line,” Naomie relented, but she still plans on finding “solutions to change that one day.”
Oh, her former partner sued her. But this case has since been settled. Lawsuits and court cases hurt bottom lines, as this cast knows full well, so, onwards, ladies.
Naomie Olindo is also getting paid via advertisements and endorsement deals
But wait, there is more. Why stick to one income stream when you can have many? By many, I mean that Naomie is constantly using her socials to spread awareness of her favorite brands and deals, and for each ad she posts, our girl is getting paid.
Most recently, Naomie did a giveaway deal with the Charleston Parks Conservancy. Every ticket sold aided in the preservation of these delicate green spaces. In turn, one lucky raffle ticket holder got to walk away with a 2025 Moke America eMoke, which Naomie and her gal pals, clad in summery hues, drove in her sponsored ad.
In 2024 alone, Naomie created the advertisement above while also working with The Local Palate Magazine, Nicole Rose Jewlrey, Vineyard Vines, The Charleston Animal Society (including a clear the shelters ask), Cara Cara, and Couper, a clothing corporation.
With or without any paychecks from Bravo, Naomie continues to build her empire in Charleston, South Carolina.
Naomie Olindo is keeping her private life mum (for now)
Relationships are hard. Unfortunately for Naomie, she had to endure two break-ups on Bravo, and both took a toll on her mental well-being.
First, there was Craig. Craig wanted to sew and pursue a career in law. Craig and the truth, however, are sometimes on different pages, so Naomie was often frustrated and annoyed by his constantly conflicting career choices.
Then, Metul Shah entered the chat. Metual was the Anesthesiologist that Naomie followed to New York City. When Naomie learned Metual had strayed, she returned to Charleston and shared her break-up story during Season 8 of Southern Charm.
On Watch What Happens Live, Naomie shared that she and Metual went straight no-contact. Following this emotional storyline, Naomie decided to try the silent route. She even declared that she would never share a relationship on camera again, and so far, she has stuck to her word. Therefore, we know nothing about her love life these days.
But, with or without a man, Naomie is thriving, and we hope this continues in 2025.
Southern Charm airs every Thursday at 8/7c on Bravo.
