Craig Conover Moves On With Natalie Buffett After Paige DeSorbo

The Southern Charm star reveals new romance on WWHL, sparking speculation about his girlfriend's identity.

Craig Conover, the star of the reality show "Southern Charm," has officially moved on from his three-year relationship with Paige DeSorbo, confirming he is in a new romance during a recent episode of "Watch What Happens Live" (WWHL). This revelation has sparked a flurry of speculation online regarding the identity of his new partner, who is rumored to be Natalie Buffett, a former girlfriend of Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott.

During the March 27, 2025 episode of WWHL, Conover appeared alongside his co-stars Shep Rose and Austen Kroll. When host Andy Cohen asked him about his relationship status, Conover responded with a sly smile, saying, "I am," without disclosing a name. He added, "I’ve been reminded that the universe works in crazy ways, but everything happens for a reason." This cryptic comment sent fans into a frenzy, eager to piece together clues about his new girlfriend.

Shortly after the episode aired, an anonymous tip submitted to the popular gossip account Deux Moi claimed that Conover's new girlfriend is Natalie Buffett, who was allegedly spotted in the audience during the WWHL taping. The tipster remarked, "Craig Conover is dating Natalie Buffett. She was in the audience of his WWHL taping." This sighting has led many to believe there is some truth to the speculation surrounding their relationship.

Natalie Buffett, 27, is no stranger to the spotlight. Before her rumored relationship with Conover, she was in a high-profile romance with Dak Prescott, which lasted for two years. The couple made their relationship Instagram official in 2020 but split in 2022. In addition to her past with Prescott, Buffett has also been linked to Detroit Tigers pitcher Jack Flaherty. Fans have noted that she has a history of dating professional athletes, which has led to some questioning the authenticity of her relationship with Conover.

Buffett hails from Texas and holds a degree in civil engineering from Southern Methodist University. She currently works as the director of content creation for OxeFit, a home fitness company that has garnered interest from celebrities like Shaquille O’Neal. In addition to her impressive career, she is also a certified yoga instructor and boasts over 76,000 followers on Instagram.

Despite the buzz surrounding their potential romance, there has been no official confirmation from either Conover or Buffett regarding their relationship status. While they have not been seen together publicly or shared any posts that directly link them romantically, the timing of Conover's announcement and Buffett's appearance at the WWHL taping has led many to speculate that they may indeed be dating.

Fans have expressed their excitement about the potential pairing on social media. Comments about Buffett have ranged from admiration for her looks to curiosity about her dating history. One follower noted, "She’s stunning," while another remarked, "Good for him, she’s gorgeous." Some fans are also curious about how Buffett's busy lifestyle may align with Conover's desire for a committed relationship.

Adding to the intrigue, Shannon Beador from "The Real Housewives of Orange County" has also liked several of Buffett's photos on Instagram, further connecting the two worlds of reality television. This connection has led some viewers to believe that Buffett's relationship with Conover might be more than just a rumor.

As the speculation continues, the upcoming episodes of "Southern Charm" may shed more light on Conover's new romance. Fans are eagerly awaiting the second part of the season 10 reunion, which airs on April 3, 2025, at 8/7c on Bravo. This episode is expected to delve deeper into Conover's life post-DeSorbo and potentially reveal more about his new relationship.

For now, viewers are left to ponder whether Craig Conover has truly found love again with Natalie Buffett or if this is just another chapter in the ever-evolving saga of reality TV romances.
