Kristin Cavallari Spills the Real Tea on Craig Conover Hookup
I suppose you’d need me to spell this out, but here’s the rundown on Kristin Cavallari’s recent confession about her fling with Southern Charm’s Craig Conover—because clearly, you couldn’t piece it together yourself. On the June 25 installment of her E! series Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour, Kristin zeroed in on costar Austen Kroll to clear the air once and for all: “Did anything ever happen between the two of us?” she quizzed him. His deadpan reply—“You and me? Well…No, nothing happened between Kristin and I”—finally shut down those swirling rumors. Kristin then let the real secret slip: Craig was the one she’d been sneaking around with, not Austen.
Joining her live podcast recording of Let’s Be Honest in New York, Craig confirmed they all met around the same time and “just hit it off,” but admitted, “No one ever really knew what was going on.” Kristin wasn’t shy about revealing just how steamy things got: “I think we all know that it was more than kissing, okay.” A flashback to a backstage confessional had her best friend Justin Anderson teasing about her romantic record—“All of your babies were vagina, yeah? But your vagina’s safe?”—prompting Kristin to sardonically suggest he “Ask Craig.” She then dropped the cold, hard count: “How many times did I hook up with Craig? I think it was honestly like once or twice. It wasn’t that much.”
Craig later reflected on their brief firestorm: “It was fun and I don’t regret it. It was a blast and then Paige [DeSorbo] and I started dating after that.” Kristin, however, wasn’t convinced there wasn’t overlap with his relationship with Paige, confronting him, “Did you lie to me about Paige?” Craig defended himself, insisting “there wasn’t as much overlap as people think,” and reminded everyone, “Kristin is a great kisser, by the way.” But backstage tensions flared when he admitted to Austen, “This is about the dumbest thing I’ve ever done in my life…The whole f––king thing was Paige. That was crazy. F––k that.”
If you think that’s the end of the drama, think again. Kristin’s dating dossier stretches back to her MTV roots on Laguna Beach, where she and Stephen Colletti navigated one of reality TV’s most-watched love triangles alongside Lauren Conrad. As she recounted in her 2016 memoir Balancing in Heels, that high school romance was “the most important thing in my life,” even if it ended under the glare of the cameras. They may have broken up, but they’ve stayed friends—and who knows what other bombshells could surface next.
Glad I could clear that up for you. Hopefully it wasn’t *too* complicated.
