The last time Craig Conover dated on camera, he was clearly mismatched with Southern Charm alum Naomie Olindo. They were polar opposites. She was driven and focused, while Craig struggled to find motivation. He cycled through different endeavors, but never committed to anything. Naomie lost patience and often belittled him on camera. They split up, and she eventually left the show.
Craig seemed pretty affected by the breakup, and did not pursue any relationships. At least not publicly. Craig did find success in his professional life after founding the company Sewing Down South. Maybe that success boosted his confidence to start dating again, and wouldn’t that be nice to see, especially since one of Craig’s costars has high expectations for his new lady.
Craig’s co-star Leva Bonaparte told Us Weekly that she, “met his current woman friend and, yeah, she’s really sweet, really beautiful, very quiet. I think that’s what Craig needs.”
Leva finds the pair very well matched, in terms of their personalities. Leva opined that, “he kind of needs like a stoic strong, quiet girl, so he can be the social butterfly and, you know, feel confident and manly. I think this might be The One, I don’t know.”
Craig’s relationship seems serious enough to share it on camera. Craig interviewed with Us at an earlier time to share teasers about the new season.

“I’m dating and you’ll see that,” Craig said, “you know, the timing this year with filming and everything and figuring out [the coronavirus pandemic], you know, it makes it hard.”
So far this season, we have not seen much about Craig’s personal life except his bromance and cohabiting arrangement with Austen Kroll. And while the coronavirus is just starting to hit, Craig is remarkably unconcerned. A little pandemic won’t stop him from socializing in the way he is accustomed to. The question is, when will we get to meet this girl
Craig said, “you’ll see me dating. I wanted to get to a good place professionally and with the business and then, you know, it was time to open up, which was good.”

It’s been nice to see Craig confident in himself and his work. He seems to feel ready for a new relationship, and viewers are looking forward to see him happily coupled.
