ow that Craig Conover is a single man, could he see himself getting back together with his ex-girlfriend Naomie Olindo?
Though he may be getting ready to date again, he's ultimately not looking back. During an appearance on Access Hollywood's Housewives Nightcap podcast on February 16, Craig explained that he's looking to meet someone new — not necessarily reconcile with Naomie, or any of his exes for that matter.
"She’s a sweetheart and I wish her the best. The thing with me is once a chapter’s closed — well, I don’t like to make definitive statements — [but] I wish Naomie the best," Craig explained. "I’m just moving forward in my life and meeting new people. That was Season 3, Season 4, I need to move on to the next season."
When did Craig Conover and Naomie date?
The Southern Charm-er first dated now-alum Naomie back in 2015, and they split in 2017.
After that, Craig went on to date Summer House's Paige DeSorbo from 2021 until the end of 2024, and he's now single for the first time in three years.

As Craig enters uncharted water in his personal life, he's feeling "excited" about the prospect of slowly getting back out in the dating scene.
"I'm excited to find someone to travel with — I mean, Paige and I traveled great together — but I just want someone to travel with because I'm on the road so much now," Craig told Access Hollywood. "And I'm fortunate that I can be very spontaneous with my time. And I think it would be very fun to find someone to share that life with again."
But while Craig was often thinking about taking the next step with Paige (whether that was living together, getting engaged, or getting married), he's trying not to jump too far ahead now. As he put it, "I'm not obsessing about planning. You [have] just got to stay optimistic and see what happens."
"I think for me, the next person I talk to, they have to be… in my mind, you don’t have to pick a wife or future partner or something. Just try to focus on, do you want to hang out with them today or do you want to hang out with them next week?" he added in a recent interview with Betches.
"There’s a lot of people out there. It’s going to work out. It does for everyone," he continued. "Look around you. There’s so many people that are married and happy and stuff."
