Craig Conover‘s rumored girlfriend, Natalie Buffett, opened up about dating on Instagram on Sunday, seemingly confirming that she and the Southern Charm cast member are not exclusive — if they’re even dating.
Months after Craig, 36, reportedly brought Natalie with him to New York City for an appearance on Watch What Happens Live, where he confirmed he was seeing someone new following his late 2024 split from Summer House alum Paige DeSorbo, 32, Natalie responded to one of her online followers, who wanted to know, “Are you dating?”
“If you’re new here you should know that I never have and never will comment on any current or past relationship,” Natalie replied on June 8. “I’m not dating anyone specific and just really enjoying the season I’m in right now with my family and friends and traveling the world.”
As Southern Charm fans may have seen, Craig was spotted with Natalie on a number of occasions after his WWHL appearance and was even believed to have been vacationing with her in the British Virgin Islands in April. However, in the months since, there has been less evidence of their courtship.
While the relationship may have already ended, an insider told Us Weekly in April that Craig was “all in” on the new romance.
“They are taking things slow, and it’s still pretty new, but Craig is all in,” the insider shared. “They’ve been spending time together in Charleston and New York City.”
“Craig is smitten and excited about the relationship,” the source continued. “[He] loves that Natalie likes being low key with him and they have been having fun together … Everyone around him is happy that he is happy … [He’s been in] great spirits after a really rough breakup and his friends are supporting him.”
As for how Paige felt about the relationship, another source told Us Weekly that she was not concerned.
“Paige isn’t fazed by Craig dating,” the insider stated. “[She] has been open to dating again, but is really focused on work. It will take someone extremely special to be able to tie her down. She’s a hot commodity and people are always trying to date her.”
Southern Charm season 11 is currently in production and expected to premiere on Bravo sometime later this year.
