Craig Conover has officially moved on from Paige DeSorbo.
The “Southern Charm” star is dating model and influencer Natalie Buffett, a source told Us Weekly on Friday.
Conover’s rep didn’t immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
Buffet, 27, boasts nearly 100,000 followers on Instagram. She graduated from Southern Methodist University in Dallas with a degree in civil engineering in 2019, according to her LinkedIn.
The blond beauty is no stranger to dating someone in the publicly eye, as she was previously in a relationship with Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott from 2020 to 2022 and Detroit Tigers pitcher Jack Flaherty in 2024.
The Sewing Down South founder, 37, first revealed he was in a new relationship during Thursday’s episode of “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.”
When asked whether he was dating, Conover smiled and shared that he was “really happy” with a new lady.
“When I date, I tend to date only one person at a time, so I’ve been seeing someone, and I have been reminded that the universe works in crazy ways, but everything happens for a reason,” he cryptically explained at the time.
The Bravolebrity did not share the identity of his new girlfriend, but Instagram gossip account Deuxmoi later reported that people saw her in the audience of the “WWHL” taping and at an airport with Conover.
“I haven’t done anything except try to move on with my life, and I’m really happy in the chapter that I’m in,” he told Cohen.
Conover shared the news after going through a contentious breakup from DeSorbo, 32, in late 2024.
Since the “Summer House” star announced the news in December, both she and Conover have made various allegations about the demise of their three-year relationship.
Most recently, Conover claimed he had bought an engagement ring for DeSorbo after she asked for one, and he returned it in New York City last week.
“I just don’t need custody of it anymore, so I took it back to the guy,” he said on “WWHL.”
The “Pillow Talk” author further alleged that he was “very shocked” by the split and denied it was mutual.
“We didn’t want different things –– she just wanted other people, and that’s fine,” he said during a previous appearance on “WWHL,” adding, “Like, she didn’t want those things with me anymore, and, like, I’m not mad at her for that, but I don’t like this, ‘Love isn’t enough thing,’ because, you’ll make it work.”
Meanwhile, DeSorbo’s doubts about their relationship have been playing out on the current season of “Summer House” — including her claim that Conover was not always supportive of her work.
“There were times when things would happen in my career. Would I tell him? No, absolutely not,” she said on last week’s “Summer House” aftershow.
“Like, when I would get certain milestones, no, I wouldn’t tell him because I knew he would want to be happy for me, but deep down, he would not be.”
