KEY POINTS

  • Craig Conover confirmed he is still with his girlfriend, Natalie Hegnauer
  • The "Southern Charm" star admitted they struggled with the distance during filming
  • This comes amid speculation that he was involved with "Summer House’s" Ciara Miller

"Southern Charm" star Craig Conover is still in a relationship with girlfriend Natalie Hegnauer despite rumors linking him with "Summer House's" Ciara Miller.

Conover and Miller are set to co-star in the Bravo series "Winter House." Fans were wondering if there was something going on between the two after she seemingly flirted with him on Instagram last month.

However, Conover has made it clear that he is still with Hegnauer. "Well, there’s a lot that happens in Winter House, but no, I’m still with my girlfriend, Natalie, here in Charleston," he told Us Weekly.

Although they are still together, the "Southern Charm" star did not hide the fact that they struggled with the distance during filming because both of them travel a lot.

"We had fortunately been able to travel the first couple of months of the year together and our few ski trips. And so, we were fine in the beginning," he added. "We were just bummed that we’re going to be away from each other for so long, but then, as it goes on and as you’re doing this fun stuff and you’re seeing other people pair off and do their thing, you do start to miss your partner. So it was more just lonely and you wish they were there to kind of enjoy it."

Romance speculation surrounding Conover and Miller started when she publicly supported his newly founded law firm in March on social media. "Who knew my attorney would be SO f—king cute?!?" she wrote on his post at the time.

Conover and Miller reunited for "Winter House," which was shot at a lodge in Stowe, Vermont. Other cast members included Linday Hubbard, Paige DeSorbo, Kyle Cooke, Amanda Batula and Austen Kroll.

When Conover was asked about what went down on the show, which wrapped earlier this year, he gave a vague response.

"All I can say is that everything that you could have ever dreamed to happen in, like, a show of your favorite people happened. It was really, really fun," he said. "We can’t wait to be able to talk about it too. We have a great group chat that we talk [in] every day and it’s fun."

Conover used to date Naomie Olindo, but they split in 2017. Many were shocked by their separation because there was no proper announcement. Their fans only found out after she posted a photo with another man on Instagram.

One asked Olindo if she was still with Conover, and her response took them by surprise. "Unfortunately we are not," Olindo replied, adding, "But we are still great friends."
