Sutton Stracke, star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, recently made headlines by sharing a surprising development in her personal life. In an open and candid moment, Sutton revealed that a "very charming" man reached out to her via text shortly after he ended a three-year relationship with his girlfriend. Intriguingly, this happened at a time when Sutton was still finding her footing after her much-publicized divorce from ex-husband Christian Stracke.
In a recent interview, Sutton confessed that the text message caught her completely off guard. “He had just broken up with his girlfriend of three years, and not long after, I received a message from him,” Sutton said with a tone of surprise. “I don’t know if he had anything serious in mind, but I have to admit he has a very special kind of charm.”
She added that the timing of the message felt serendipitous, coming at a moment when she was working to rebuild her life post-divorce. Sutton explained, “Sometimes, those unexpected connections can bring a little joy and help you open up in ways you didn’t anticipate.”
Sutton’s willingness to discuss her personal life has drawn empathy from fans. Her divorce from Christian Stracke was a significant moment in the Real Housewives world. After more than two decades of marriage, the split left Sutton with a mix of emotions and a need to refocus on herself.

“That period was all about rediscovering who I am,” Sutton said. “I wasn’t looking for someone new to walk into my life, but it’s hard to ignore someone who’s that charming.”
The man in question is rumored to be Craig Conover, star of Southern Charm. The speculation gained momentum when Sutton posted a photo on January 22 of herself dining with Craig at Spago, a high-end restaurant in Beverly Hills. In the photo, Craig had his arm around Sutton as they smiled brightly for the camera, exuding a sense of comfort and closeness.
While neither Sutton nor Craig has confirmed any romantic involvement, fans are buzzing with theories that Craig might be the “charming man” Sutton mentioned. The two also share some commonalities, including their Southern roots — Craig is from Charleston, South Carolina, while Sutton hails from Augusta, Georgia.
For now, Sutton is keeping the details under wraps, emphasizing that she is in a phase of exploring new experiences. Still, from her photo with Craig Conover to her comments about a “charming man,” Sutton has shown that even after the heartbreak of her past marriage, she remains open to new possibilities in love.
Is Craig the “new chapter” in Sutton’s life, or is this just a special friendship? Fans will undoubtedly stay tuned to find out what’s next for the Real Housewives star.
