‘Southern Charm’ Star Spotted Holding Hands With New Love Interest in Charleston

Craig Conover was spotted holding hands with a potential new love interest while out and about in Charleston, SC, over the weekend.

On August 3, the “Southern Charm” star was filmed walking down a busy Charleston street with a pretty blonde, as seen in footage posted on the Deux Moi Instagram page. Conover, 36, and his date both wore jeans as they casually strolled down the street while chatting.

While Conover has yet to confirm the name of his lady friend, the fan site Bravo Breaking News has identified her as psychotherapist, model, and animal rights activist Elizabeth Turner.

Conover follows Turner on Instagram, and she follows him back.

Elizabeth Turner Modeled for GUESS

Turner has an impressive bio as a psychotherapist and animal rights activist, but she is also a model. In 2016, she modeled for the GUESS 2016 swim campaign.

In an introductory video for the shoot, she revealed that she started modeling in 2015. “I’m Elizabeth Turner,” she said at the time. ‘We’re shooting the GUESS spring/ summer 2016 lingerie and swim campaign. I’m super excited to be here today. It’s probably one of my biggest dreams come true. I’ve only been modeling for about a year full-time, and so I feel like GUESS have really taken me in, made me part of their family and it’s so exciting and rewarding to be here today shooting a campaign.”

More recently, Turner shared a behind-the-scenes for a photo shoot in which she wore loungewear.

In June, she showed that there’s plenty of brains beyond her beauty.  “Being a clinician and researcher working with the neurodivergent community is the honor of my life! I’ll always fight for science, truth, love, and acceptance,” she wrote on Instagram.

Conover was in a three-year relationship with fellow Bravo star Paige DeSorbo, which ended late last year. After the split, he briefly dated blonde model Natalie Buffett, according to Us Weekly.

During a March 27 appearance on “Watch What Happens Live,” Conover told host Andy Cohen that he was “really happy.”

Cohen then asked if he was dating “specifically one person,” and Conover said, “Yes, I  have been. You know when I date, I tend to date only one person at a time. So, I’ve been seeing someone, and it’s been, I’ve been reminded that the universe works in crazy ways, but everything happens for a reason.”

DeSorbo later spoke out on her “Giggly Squad” podcast to note that Conover and her other exes all seem to have a type.  “I’m not kidding,” she said. “Every guy I’ve ever dated, I feel like immediately dates a blonde after, and I’m like, ‘Oh you didn’t, you didn’t get me at all. Like solidified.”
