While the fans are watching the beginning stages of Craig Conover and Paige DeSorbo’s split happen on Summer House season 9, the Southern Charm star has already moved on and started dating a new mystery woman.
“When I date, I tend to date only one person at a time,” Craig told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live on March 27, 2025. “I’ve been seeing someone. I’ve been reminded that the universe works in crazy ways and everything happens for a reason.”
After his not-so-shocking confession, Us Weekly reported that Craig’s new girlfriend is Natalie Buffett. However, neither of the pair have confirmed their romance.
Life & Style rounds up everything to know about Natalie, including her past relationship with an NFL star.
What Is Natalie Buffett’s Job?
Natalie attended Southern Methodist University between 2015 and 2019 and studied civil engineering. She landed an engineering internship at BGE between 2019 and 2020 before becoming the Director of Content and Strategy at OxeFit, where she currently works, according to her LinkedIn.
How Old Is Natalie Buffett?
The content creator is 27 years old as of publication. On April 14, 2024, Natalie shared a photo of herself with the caption “27.”
Is Natalie Buffett Related to Jimmy Buffett?
After it was reported that Natalie was the mystery woman that Craig is dating, one word came to mind: Margaritaville.
On March 29, a TikTok user, who was seemingly joking, claimed that Natalie was the heir to singer Jimmy Buffett. However, a fan debunked the statement in the comments section of the post.
“Natalie is NOT the heir to the Jimmy Buffett fortune. He has a wife – Janey [Buffett] and three children – Savanah [Buffett], Delaney [Buffett] and Cameron [Buffett]. Natalie is NOT an heir.”
Natalie Buffett’s Dating History Is Full of Professional Athletes
Before she decided to dip her toe into the Bravo pool, the influencer dated a few men in the NFL and MLB.
Natalie previously dated Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. The former couple took their relationship public in July 2020 when she wished her man a happy birthday via Instagram in a since-deleted post. The following year she shared a heartfelt birthday message to Dak.
“Happy birthday my love! So proud of everything you’ve accomplished and overcome this past year,” Natalie wrote in July 2021. “I love sharing this crazy life with you and know you’re going to do amazing things in your 28th year! My cowboy, travel buddy, doggy daddy, and best friend … I love you!”
During their relationship, Dak and Natalie adopted three dogs: a pit bull named Legend and two frenchies named Bean and Atlas. The trio has their own Instagram page, which hasn’t been updated since October 2021.
Each pup got an introduction on the Instagram page with funny captions highlighting their personalities.
“I’m Icon but everyone calls me Ike most of the time. But it really doesn’t matter what you call me, I’m coming to get some attention. I was born in Kissimmee, Florida to @imperialbloodlinebullies and after a couple months I moved to Dallas to Be with my Family,” the September 2020 caption read. “So Yes, I’m a Cowboys Fan thank you! I’m very energetic but also enjoy a long day of doing nothing but snuggling with my brother, Legend, that’s my best friend, we’re pretty much always together. People say I look mean but I promise I’m by far the sweetest one in my family.”
Dak and Natalie split in 2022, after she accompanied him at the NFL Honors ceremony that February.
Natalie moved on and started dating MLB pitcher Jack Flaherty and shared a photo of them kissing in December 2023. The photo has since been deleted, per Us Weekly.
