Southern Charm’s Craig Conover sparks romance rumours in Charleston after being spotted strolling hand‑in‑hand with a stunning mystery woman – just months after his split from Paige DeSorbo - suong

The cobblestone streets of Charleston may be famous for their quiet charm, but there was nothing quiet about the whispers last weekend when Craig Conover, Bravo’s self‑proclaimed “Number One Guy,” was seen walking hand‑in‑hand with a glamorous brunette whose identity remains a mystery. The pair strolled through the city’s historic French Quarter, moving with the relaxed ease of two people very comfortable in each other’s company. Craig leaned in at one point, laughing as the woman brushed a strand of hair from her face, seemingly oblivious to the fact that more than one bystander had their phone cameras fixed firmly on them.

The sighting comes just months after Craig’s highly publicised breakup from Paige DeSorbo, his girlfriend of three years. Paige had described the split as “mutual” and “mature,” insisting there was no betrayal, but her candid podcast revelations hinted at deeper tensions. She admitted feeling suffocated at times, suggesting Craig often turned her milestones into moments about himself, overshadowing her in ways that left her hesitant to share parts of her personal life. For Craig, the breakup was bittersweet. He confessed on a late‑night Bravo appearance that he had been willing to “lose everything to keep the relationship” but ultimately came to see the separation as a strange kind of blessing.

That is why this hand‑in‑hand stroll with a mystery companion has set off a new storm of speculation. Was Craig moving on quickly, or had this romance quietly begun before the dust had settled on his previous relationship? Social media sleuths have already been dissecting every photo, zooming in on her gold bracelet, the cut of her sundress, the way she tilted her head when Craig whispered something. Fans’ comments range from playful to cutting: “Craig moves on faster than my Amazon Prime delivery” wrote one, while another joked, “Somewhere in New York, Paige just poured herself another very large glass of wine.”

In Charleston’s tightly knit social scene, it is almost impossible to keep a new romance secret for long. If history is anything to go by, Craig’s charming evening walk will be making its way into whispered conversations at rooftop bars and oyster shacks all over town. Whether this “mystery woman” is a passing fling, a budding romance, or the next face we’ll see on Southern Charm, one thing is certain — Bravo fans will be watching, and waiting, for the next chapter.
