Salley Carson Calls Craig Conover “Hot” – Is Romance Brewing?
Southern Charm newbie Salley Carson certainly stirred the pot during a recent chat with Us Weekly about her night out in New York City with Craig Conover. While they dined together, there was no candlelit dinner drama – his two pals tagged along, but you know how that goes; friends can sometimes mean “we’re just hanging out.” Salley, 30, is all about making connections in the Charleston crew and insists she and Craig, 36, are just getting acquainted as friends. But don’t let that fool you; she’s got some steamy thoughts, proclaiming, “I think he’s hot as s—!”
The pair’s outing at Nobu ignited dating rumors, especially since both are coming off fresh breakups. Salley recently ended things with boyfriend Andrew Dietz, who we met in season 10 of Southern Charm, citing infidelity as the culprit. Meanwhile, Craig’s split from Paige DeSorbo after three years was no less dramatic, with allegations of emotional cheating swirling around. Paige, in a now-infamous episode of Summer House and subsequent interviews, denied cheating but alluded to catching Craig texting other women. Oof, talk about a reality TV rollercoaster!
Despite the swirling drama of their split lives, Salley thinks Craig is managing things quite well, even admitting she thought he and Paige were “end game.” However, she senses he might not be ready to jump into something serious right away, emphasizing he’s still dealing with the aftermath of his breakup. Salley hints there might be a chance for romance down the line, especially if the stars align. For now, she’s “lightly” dating and claims to have had a few people connect with her since she joined the Southern Charm cast.
This whole love triangle (or is it a love square?) saga is unfolding against the backdrop of Bravo’s Southern Charm, which airs every Thursday. So grab your popcorn, because this is shaping up to be one of the season’s most buzz-worthy storylines!
