Kristin Cavallari finally owns up to Craig Conover fling, suggests there was an ‘overlap’ with Paige DeSorbo- lulu

   

Kristin Cavallari finally pulled back the curtain on her long-rumored romance with Craig Conover.

The “Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour” star owned up to the fling during Wednesday’s “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.” She even dished on the timeline, implying that the reality TV star dated her and Paige DeSorbo at the same time.

Host Andy Cohen bluntly asked Cavallari, 38, whether there was “overlap.”

The “Hills” alum clarified that she “politely excused” herself from Conover’s life when she “caught wind” the Bravolebrities were seeing each other.

“There was a picture of Craig and Paige in New York — I’ll never forget it — and it looked like they were sort of together,” Cavallari recalled. “That was the first time anyone had seen them. That was the first time I had heard about it.

 

“I saw that picture, and I texted him and I said, ‘Hey, let’s just be friends,'” she continued.

Cavallari noted that, prior to this, she and the “Southern Charm” alum, 36, had been “friends” who “became romantic for two seconds.”

Conover and Cavallari’s friendship began in 2020 following her divorce from Jay Cutler.

The “Laguna Beach” alum also became close with Austen Kroll at the time — and denied dating the fellow reality stars the following year.

“These two guys who I have been linked to for the past year are my friends,” she wrote via Instagram in 2021. “That’s it. It’s possible for a grown woman to be friends with a grown man.”

In 2023, however, she admitted on “WWHL” that she “may have been drunk one night and kissed Craig.”

By that time, Conover was with DeSorbo, 32.

The couple dated for three years before calling it quits in November 2024.

Cavallari, for her part, had a months-long relationship with Mark Estes in 2024 and has since made headlines for hookups with country singer Morgan Wallen, NHL player Nate Thompson and more.

She also revealed a “dry hump[ing]” session with “Top Gun” star Glen Powell in Greece during her show’s premiere Wednesday — but insisted to Cohen, 57, that they kept their pants on.
