Following the emotional break up of Bravo's "it"couple, Southern Charm’s Craig Conover revealed that he is not in love with Naomi Olindo anymore. Fans were able to observe the couple’s ups and downs of their relationship over the seasons, and it's now officially over.
Naomi and Craig first met while attending a fashion show at their alma mater, the College of Charleston. The reality couple first fell in love during season 3, deciding to move in together at the start of season 4. During their last season as a couple, there were many times the two seemed to be at their breaking point. Bravo fan's learned that Craig had lied about taking the South Carolina Bar exam, failing to become a lawyer, despite Naomi adamantly defending him to all of their mutual friends. Naomi worked long hours at her parent's restaurant while also continuing to go to school for her masters degree, and both she and Craig seemed to be on two different paths, lacking a common ground. Craig turned to sewing and gardening, while Naomi seemed to be more and more annoyed with her stay-at-home boyfriend, and the two officially called it quits in September of 2017.
On a recent episode of Southern Charm, Craig was being hounded by fellow castmate Cameran Eubanks about the possibility of still being in love with Naomi. He denied still having any feelings, saying he loved her and hated her at the same time. More recently, Craig has said that since the breakup he has dated a few women and gotten back into the dating world. He went into detail, saying, “Since her I’ve dated, I think, like six people, and had a blast and traveled. I mean, it’s been a year and a half or two years.”
As for Naomi’s side of the story, she seems to be agreeing with Craig’s point of view. She recently spoke in an interview about how the breakup is now water under the bridge, saying, “We’ve both moved on and we’re both a lot happier.” As for Craig’s obsession with sewing, she claimed it was what the sewing represented that upset her, saying, “It’s just that sewing was a tool he used to procrastinate on things he really needed to be doing, important things.” Thankfully, Craig has stopped procrastinating and officially launched his own line of pillows, Sewing Down South. Despite their difference's, Craig and Naomi have found a way to remain friends and co-stars.
With Season 6 of Southern Charm currently airing on Bravo, fans can watch the former couple grow individually. Craig has passed the bar exam and is officially a lawyer, while Naomi has gotten a new nose and a new boyfriend, Metul Shah. And, while it may be disappointing to some to see that they've moved on from one another, it's still encouraging to see that they're doing just fine on their own.
Southern Charm airs Wednesdays at 9pm EST on Bravo.
