Craig Conover teased the upcoming “monster” season of Southern Charm – revealing that he and Austen Kroll “can’t stop fighting.” The 36-year-old also hinted at getting married when he “find[s] the right person,” and suggested he’s a “fixer” in relationships.

Last season, Craig and Austen feuded so hard that Craig asked his costar to sell him his share of their podcast. For a moment, it seemed the friendship was over, though they patched things up before the season finale. 

Speaking to Alex Weiss for Interview Magazine, Craig teased the new season, which recently finished filming.

“Season 11’s a monster season,” he said. “Everyone’s going to be really excited. I haven’t felt like this in a couple years. You get to see a lot of new chapters in people’s lives and some fresh faces. Southern Charm fans will be really happy. Austin and I are opening a wedding venue in Charleston, even though we can’t stop fighting with each other all the time.”

He said his wedding venue with Austen is “slightly more affordable than a lot of the places down here.”

“It’s an all-in-one location so that you can do your ceremony, your reception, and your afterparty there,” he explained. “Maybe I’ll get my officiant’s license.”

Later, Craig was asked if he would get married there.

“Well, when I find the right person,” he answered. “I’m really excited to continue to challenge myself, and when the time is right, it’ll be right. I think that’s way easier said than done because I’m such a fixer.”

Alex responded, “Fix your garden, not your girl.”

“The plants don’t care if you have a messy week,” added Craig. “They just want you to show up for them. I talk to myself enough during the day, and now I talk to bees and plants too. The plants don’t judge you.”

On last season’s finale of Southern Charm, Craig addressed his breakup with Paige DeSorbo.

“Paige and I had a great Thanksgiving together,” Craig shared at the time, via Bravo TV. “Everything was normal at her parents’, like our chemistry and everything. Then, a couple of weeks later she called me and was like, ‘We gotta talk.’”

“[The breakup] was really calm,” he went on. “She’s like, ‘I need to like find myself’ and she’s like, ‘I have to take control of my life again, and we need to break up.’”
