Craig Conover is single and absolutely ready to mingle.
In Southern Charm’s season 11 trailer, released by Bravo on Thursday, October 9, one of the show’s original cast members is moving on from his split with Paige DeSorbo with a few familiar faces.
“I’m having fun being able to kiss someone if I want to, guilt-free,” he says in the trailer before the camera turns to Salley Carson and new cast member Charley Manley.
While chatting with Patricia Altschul, Madison LeCroy confirms that Craig is in a “love triangle.” What comes next is plenty of dramatic scenes that will have viewers oohing and ahhing.

“You knew how I was feeling about him, and then you went on a date with him,” Salley tells Charley while trying to hold back tears.
In another scene, Craig drops a confession about his dating life that leaves Charley nearly speechless.
“This is the first date I’ve ever been on,” he says, “where I haven’t hooked up with the person before.”
One person who doesn’t want anything to do with Craig is Venita Aspen. In fact, she wants Salley to stay far away from the Bravo star.
“I’m going to be very clear,” Venita says. “I don’t like Craig.”
Salley responds, “I don’t want to stop hanging out with Craig.”
In December 2024, Paige announced that she and Craig had parted ways after three years of dating.
“I love him, I think he loves me,” Paige told her “Giggly Squad” podcast listeners at the time. “I think we will remain friends. No one did anything. It wasn’t a bad thing. I think we both were just being really mature and saying what we want and what we didn’t want, and I think that’s extremely powerful to be able to voice how you’re feeling in real time and what you want for your future.”
Craig later broke his silence on the split through a social media post via his Instagram Story.
“This has all been very, very unexpected to say the least. But I guess I gotta start living again, whatever that looks like. Whatever my new normal looks like — I have to start,” he said in January. “‘Gratitude will get you through this, with time comes clarity’ – all of the advice, I’m trying to listen to.”
Ultimately, Craig’s dating life — he was previously linked to Natalie Buffett earlier this year — isn’t the only hot topic on season 11 of Southern Charm.
In the trailer, Austen Kroll takes issue with his longtime friend and proves their bromance is still not what it used to be.
“You are a lost soul,” Austen shouts during one party. “You want to be anybody but yourself, and it’s obvious.”

While it’s unclear what leads to the explosive fight, perhaps it didn’t help that Craig appears to spread a rumor about Austen’s relationship with longtime girlfriend Audrey Pratt.
“Two girls just randomly said that their roommate hooked up with Austen,” Craig tells Shep Rose in one scene.
Southern Charm season 11 premieres on Bravo Wednesday, November 19 at 9 p.m. ET. Episodes will be available to stream the next day on Peacock.
