Craig Conover opened up about his future plans with Paige DeSorbo and teased the upcoming ninth season of Southern Charm throughout a podcast look on Wednesday.
Nearly two years after the 2 of them made their relationship official, Craig, 34, teased his impending engagement to Paige, 30, whereas additionally admitting he’d probably by no means marry a non-reality star and revealing followers will see a unique facet of Shep Rose, 43, on the brand new episodes.
“You’ll see him be in a position that he hasn’t been in before,” Craig stated of Shep on the August 16 episode of It’s Complicated on Bleav. “You can see the struggle with opening up. You’ll watch someone have to face something that they’re not used to. It’s funny to see some people were taught to be shut off and to never be vulnerable.”
As Southern Charm followers might have seen, Shep revisits his relationship with Taylor Ann Green, 28, which got here to an finish after two years final summer time, on the brand new season, and can also be confronted with reviews of a hookup between Taylor and Austen Kroll, 36.
Speaking of his personal relationship, Craig stated he “absolutely [loves] dating someone in the same business.”
“I truly don’t see how it would work outside of this,” he defined. “I can’t speak for everyone, but there is just no way to understand the ins and outs of our daily lives, the pros and cons. It’s a very unhealthy business to be in, especially mentally, and you have to be aware of that. But if you’re dating someone that doesn’t have those same issues, they’d be like, ‘Cry me a river. I had to go to work from 9 to 5.’”
“I don’t think I would ever make it to marriage with someone that wasn’t in the business,” he continued. “Because yes, it’s a reality TV show, but… contextual things are different, and I have to be okay with Paige going away on the weekend and like, doing her job. And I understand what that job is and I just think if I didn’t have the history in the business that I did, I would be like, ‘Well why do you have to drink and play these games?’”
According to Craig, he’s not frightened about what Paige is doing, however how she’s portrayed.
“You have to understand that she can do everything perfectly, and she’s a great girlfriend and a very honest girlfriend. That does not mean that what you see on TV is going to look that way and you have to understand that,” he said.
As for what’s going to change as soon as they’re engaged, Craig stated he seems ahead to the milestone eradicating any insecurities he’s feeling.
“For me, it would just be, if I wasn’t able to kind of combat those insecurities of being like, ‘Maybe this doesn’t happen.’ But that’s on me. That’s not on me to put on to my partner,” he famous.
Craig went on to say that he’s grown so much over the previous yr.
“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.’ But then to be a year from there, I honestly feel like I’m a very different person than I was last year,” he revealed. “A lot really does happen in a year.”
While Craig and Paige aren’t engaged but, Craig stated she’s assured him that she’s dedicated to their future.
“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.’ I just think that girls a lot of times are a little more realistic and more mature than I would’ve ever agreed with,” he defined.
Southern Charm season 9 premieres on Thursday, September 14, at 9/8c on Bravo.
