When Craig Conover’s dating life took center stage at\u00a0BravoCon 2025, the\u00a0Southern Charm<\/em>-er didn’t hold back from spilling all the latest tea.<\/p>\n The subject arose multiple times during Day 3’s “It’s All About to Go South” panel on Nov. 16 in Las Vegas, beginning with the moderators asking what Craig’s DMs looked like, following\u00a0his late 2024 breakup\u00a0from\u00a0Paige DeSorbo.\u00a0“Well, it’s been a year, guys,” Craig noted. “So, I think we’ve both moved on with our lives. …\u00a0I didn’t plan on being here, but I’m here.”<\/p>\n Teasing that fans can expect to see him “trying to figure out” the\u00a0“next chapter” in his love life\u00a0when\u00a0Southern Charm<\/em>\u00a0Season 11\u00a0premieres on Nov. 19, he went on to detail a conversation he had with castmate\u00a0Madison LeCroy, roughly six months post-split. “I was like, ‘Maybe I’ll start dating, maybe I won’t,'” the\u00a0Sewing Down South co-owner recalled. “You can’t really plan your life out; you just have to take it with a grain of salt.”<\/p>\n Elsewhere during the BravoCon panel,\u00a0Salley Carson\u00a0teased that “people are gonna be shocked by” the complicated romance that arose between her and Craig\u00a0\u2014 and several others, apparently\u00a0\u2014 while filming Season 11.\u00a0“I was obviously very attracted to Craig,” Salley remarked, before adding, “Throughout the summer, I definitely saw some different sides of Craig: some that I loved and some that I didn’t love so much.”<\/p>\n Craig, for his part, chimed in to say, “I’ll tell you this: It’s not a triangle. It’s a shape that has too many sides for me to know what it\u2019s called. … I would say it’s more of a trapezoid than a triangle.”<\/p>\n As the\u00a0Southern Charm<\/em>\u00a0trailer\u00a0already previewed, one of the other people involved is Salley’s friend and newcomer\u00a0Charley Manley. Craig further clarified that there “were lots of people that liked each other,” noting, “I think saying that it was a triangle is minimalistic for Season 11.”<\/p>\n Craig elaborated more about his dating life in his new chapter: “You’ll get to see me go through kind of a fear of rejection. … When Paige and I met, we met filming a show, so no one had to ever go out on a limb to ask the other out. … I’ve never just blindly asked someone on a date without actually knowing if they like me back or not.”<\/p>\n Because Craig had previously expressed interest in settling down and\u00a0starting a family, one of the moderators also asked him to clarify if he was in a “more fun-seeking mode” in his dating life now, or if he was really ready to find his “person.”<\/p>\n “Well, lover-boy Craig didn’t work out, so party-boy Craig is here,” he joked, before admitting that he actually “didn’t know what to do” when he became single again.<\/p>\n “You get to see me figure all this stuff out,” Craig continued. “I think I finally stopped chasing to fill that void. I’m really fortunate; I’ve achieved a lot that I wanted in life, and I enjoy sharing that with someone. …\u00a0 But I don’t think it’s worth forcing it with the wrong person. And so, I have no idea what’s gonna happen.”<\/p>\n As the\u00a0Southern Charm<\/em>-er concluded at BravoCon, “I would like to have a girlfriend, sure. … And apparently when you stop chasing things, they might find you. So, hopefully that happens.”<\/p>\n Robert Irwin wears his heart on his sleeve.<\/p>\n Irwin, 21, took to TikTok on Sunday, November 16, to share his preshow rituals while competing on season 34 of Dancing With the Stars.<\/p>\n Margaret Colin Jokes About The ‘Eye Candy’ in Hallmark’s ‘Three Wisest Men’<\/p>\n \u201cEvery show day on Dancing With the Stars, I have two good luck charms that I bring with me. These things keep me close to home and to what\u2019s most important to me,\u201d he said, noting that he wears a green button-up shirt that once belonged to his late dad, Steve Irwin, and a gold ring.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is my dad\u2019s shirt,\u201d Robert said while smiling. \u201cI was going through his stuff and I found this shirt. It\u2019s absolutely tattered and has holes and is missing buttons,\u201d he added before turning around and showing off the lived-in piece.<\/p>\n Robert then explained that he got the shirt \u201cfixed up\u201d and replaced the old buttons and patched up the rips.<\/p>\n \u201cI like that it still looks and feels like him. This shirt definitely saw a lot. I guess it\u2019s kind of a good example of how dad lived his life,\u201d he gushed.<\/p>\n The wildlife conservationist explained that every morning ahead of a show, he puts on the button-up and wears it for his and Witney Carson\u2019s \u201cfirst rehearsal\u201d of the day.<\/p>\n \u201cIt just keeps me close to home, it keeps me close to him. It feels like a big hug,\u201d Robert continued. \u201cEvery time I step out into the ballroom, I represent my dad\u2019s legacy, my home, my family.\u201d<\/p>\n On Monday, November 17, Robert opened up about his second good luck charm \u2014 a gold ring that\u2019s \u201creally, really special\u201d to him.<\/p>\n \u201cA while ago, I was cleaning out my dad\u2019s office, [and] one of the things I found was a set of keys from our original childhood home,\u201d he explained. \u201cI took those keys and got them melted down and turned into a ring.\u201d<\/p>\n Robert then zoomed in on the design and showed the engravings, which read \u201c1638\u201d in honor of the Australia Zoo\u2019s address at 1638 Steve Irwin Way.<\/p>\n He shared that he puts on the jewelry every Tuesday morning when he heads to the Dancing With the Stars studio.<\/p>\n He added, \u201cIt\u2019s the most beautiful experience, and in some way, I want him part of it. This experience has truly changed my life. I know I wouldn\u2019t be here without him and his legacy that I get to continue.\u201d<\/p>\n Last week, Robert\u2019s sister, Bindi Irwin \u2014 who won season 21 of DWTS \u2014 joined him on the dance floor for his foxtrot to \u201cFootprints in the Sand\u201d by Leona Lewis. They honored Steve, who died in 2006 from a stingray injury, with an emotional tribute. At the end of the routine, photos of his family were projected onto the dance floor, making Robert tear up. Bindi, 27, and Witney, 32, comforted him before he heard from the judges (who gave him a perfect score).<\/p>\n Dancing With the Stars airs on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and Disney+.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When Craig Conover’s dating life took center stage at\u00a0BravoCon 2025, the\u00a0Southern Charm-er didn’t hold back from spilling all the latest tea.
