Craig Conover’s evolution: From party boy to business mogul
At just 24 years old, Craig Conover embarked on a journey that would change his life forever. Initially joining the cast of Southern Charm with aspirations of a three-year stint, Conover has now entered the show’s 10th season at 36, showcasing a remarkable transformation.
No longer just a party-loving lawyer, he has evolved into a successful entrepreneur with his pillow business, Sewing Down South, and a loving relationship with Paige DeSorbo from Summer House.
Business growth and personal development
Conover’s journey into entrepreneurship has been nothing short of inspiring.
With the recent opening of a second location in Nashville, his business is thriving. He credits his girlfriend, Paige, for being a significant influence in his life, inspiring him to tap into his potential and focus on his business. “I pretty much stopped drinking” two years ago, he reveals, a decision that has dramatically changed his life for the better.
This lifestyle shift has not only increased his drive but also allowed him to prioritize quality time with Paige and his employees.
Navigating friendships and lifestyle changes
However, this transformation hasn’t come without its challenges. Conover acknowledges that his decision to step back from the party scene has caused some tension with friends and co-stars, particularly Shep Rose and Austen Kroll.
“I think Shep and Austen are having a really tough time mourning the loss of their bar buddy,” he admits. While he values his friendships, he recognizes the need for personal growth and is committed to pursuing a more fulfilling life.
Future aspirations and relationship dynamics
Looking ahead, Conover is excited about the future of his business and his relationship with Paige. He envisions potential pop-up locations in cities like New York, where he hopes to showcase his holiday collection.
As for his relationship, he emphasizes the importance of navigating long-distance dynamics, splitting time between Charleston and New York City. “We love representing long-distance relationships on television,” he shares, highlighting the reality that many couples face today.
In a world where reality TV often focuses on drama, Conover’s story stands out as a testament to personal growth, resilience, and the pursuit of happiness. As he continues to evolve, viewers can expect to see a more mature and focused Craig Conover in the upcoming season of Southern Charm.
