Craig Conover’s Ex Has Surprising New Boyfriend

   

Exclusive | Craig Conover didn't 'have a lot of patience' for ex Naomie  Olindo

Craig Conover’s ex-girlfriend, Naomie Olindo, reportedly has a new flame.

The former “Southern Charm” star is dating Billy Haire, the ex-husband of Sports Illustrated model and “Dancing with the Stars” alum Brooks Nader, Us Weekly reported on April 30.

Haire was married to Nader from 2019 to 2024. Following their split, Nader had a romance with her “Dancing With the Stars” partner Gleb Savchenko, which ended in April 2024. While she was dating Savchenko, Nader, 28, shared a video via TikTok in which she revealed she was still “legally married” to Haire.

Olindo dated Conover from 2015 to 2017 after first meeting at the College of Charleston. Olindo was the woman behind Conover’s famous “What’s wrong with my sewing?” comment on “Southern Charm.”

Olindo’s latest dating news comes five months after Conover and Paige DeSorbo ended their relationship after three years of dating.

In photos posted to her Instagram story on April 29, Olindo, 32,  was seen looking cozy with Haire while posing with him on a pontoon boat. She captioned the pic with a red heart emoji, Us Weekly noted.

A separate source told People magazine that Olindo and Haire have already been dating for a few months. “I haven’t seen Naomi more herself or more happy,“ the insider told the outlet.

Olindo and Haire have not publicly confirmed their romance, and it is unclear where or how they met.

According to BravoTV.com, Olindo purchased a “dream home” in the Charleston area in December 2024.


Craig Conover Recently Saw Naomie Olindo

While he is not on good terms with DeSorbo at this time, Conover is friendly with Olindo.

In February, he told fans at the Philly Home and Garden Show in Oaks, PA, that he had recently seen Olindo at the grand opening of By the Way, the new bar in which he’s partnered in with co-star Austen Kroll. The Charleston-based bar opened in late 2024.

“Austen invited her to our restaurant opening and she showed up,” Conover said of Olindo. “And I was saying hi to everyone and I was like ‘Hey, thanks for coming.’ And she was like ‘I’m a little nervous, is it okay?’ and I was like ‘Of course, everyone can come.’”

Around that same time, Conover told “Access Hollywood’s Housewives Nightcap”  that he didn’t think there was a chance that he would ever get back with Olindo romantically. 

“She’s a sweetheart and I wish her the best,” he said in February. “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. 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.”
