Craig Conover and Paige DeSorbo will be back on our screens after “Southern Charm” season 9 premieres on Bravo on September 14, and fans will see the two explore the next step in their relationship, the trailer showed.
The “Southern Charm” OG star and his “Summer House” girlfriend, who is a guest star on the Charleston-based show, are still going strong today and Conover admitted he feels less pressure to get engaged right away. “A year ago if I was talking to myself, I would’ve thought I was ready and I could easily go to Paige’s parents and be like, ‘Obviously, you’re gonna say yes,’” he revealed on the “It’s Complicated” podcast.
“But then to be a year from there, I honestly feel like I’m a very different person than I was last year,” he continued. “A lot really does happen in a year.” Conover explained that the two are very committed to a future together, but said he’s more aware of the timeline that will follow the engagement, with engagement parties, wedding planning, and more, and shared that they’re not in a rush to enter that stage.
“It’s funny to have the convo, too, and you’re like, ‘Don’t you want this too?’ And she’s like, ‘Yeah, I do Craig. Like, I want to have a family with you,'” he said. “I just think that girls a lot of times are a little more realistic and more mature than I would’ve ever agreed with.”
