The best part has been watching Madison LeCroy rightfully ascend to the Queen Bee Budweiser of the group without Austen Kroll holding her back. Otherwise, we’ve had some new additions like Olivia Flowers that haven’t brought any much-needed reinvigorated energy to the group. Hey, at least Naomie Olindo is back to cause some drama with her ex Craig Conover and beyond.
During last week’s Southern Charm, Craig told Austen Kroll that it “stinks” that Naomie went from him to Whitney. But while he was disappointed that bro-code had been broken, he now claims he was reacting more to “how absurd the situation seemed” at the time. It appears that Naomie Olindo and Whitney PlentyMoreFish Sudler-Smith’s makeout session wasn’t a one-time thing. In fact, it may have gotten pretty serious, as Sudler-Smith asked Olindo to co-host a dinner party with him, per Bravo. Olindo visited Sudler-Smith at his mother, Patricia Altschul’s house, and seemed like a familiar face to her dogs.
While he did say he was “disappointed” that Whitney broke the “bro-code” by hooking up with his ex-girlfriend, he told Us he was responding to “how absurd the situation seemed” at the time. Everyone was thrown for a loop when it was revealed that Naomie hooked up with Whitney Sudler-Smith after the dog wedding of the decade. Maybe it was his electric guitar playing that caught her eye, but who really knows? Patricia Altschul is probably thrilled and already planning Naomie and Whitney’s wedding. Even though Craigy was pretty shocked to see who his ex decided to move on with, that didn’t stop him from spilling a little tea about the situation to Us Weekly. He’s dating Paige DeSorbo from Summer House pretty seriously these days.
Is Naomie Dating Whitney? Inside The Rumored Relationship Between The ‘Southern Charm’ Cast
She found herself getting unexpectedly close with Sudler-Smith after partying hard at the wedding of Shep Rose and Patricia Altschul’s dogs Little Craig and Peaches. After she woke up the next day after the wedding, she revealed to Austen Kroll and Leva Bonaparte that she kissed Whitney and has spent the night at her house. While Whitney came up with the idea for Southern Charm, he doesn’t share as much as his co-stars. Shep’s dating life has definitely been on display since season 1 of the reality series.
Leva Bonaparte’s Net Worth Is Roughly $3.6 Million
Andy brought up how viewers speculated that Craig is still in love with her. Naomie Olindo and Venita Aspen, who had been friends for years, had a falling out in episode 14. Craig Conover, Naomie’s ex-boyfriend, had inappropriately went in on her at dinner on a cast trip the previous evening.
Bravo’s cameras have followed OG stars such as Craig Conover, Shep Rose, and Whitney Sudler-Smith for eight seasons and captured many of their interpersonal relationships. Season 8 of Southern Charm has been following the romantic lives of the cast as they navigate relationships — new loves, old flames, running into exes, and every kind of situation in between. Perhaps the one, um, situation none of the crew could have predicted is whatever is going on between Naomie Olindo and Whitney Sudler-Smith.
Naomie did not reveal the mystery man’s identity, but the Season 8 premiere revealed that Naomie is dating Whitney — sort of. During the episode “Great Expectations,” Naomie informed Leva Bonaparte and Austin Kroll that things between her and Whitney had heated up after the cast gathered for a dog wedding in the Season 7 finale. Naomie first appeared on Southern Charm in Season 3 as Craig’s girlfriend. Naomie has been open about her love life and its ups and downs since she accepted a spot on the show.
Even though the couple broke up because they fought all the time, Naomie stayed on the show as a full cast member in season 6. People watch the show because they are interested in the relationships that develop on it. In Season 8, Naomie Olindo and Whitney Sudler-Smith told each other they liked each other.
During the latest episode of Southern Charm, Naomie revealed to castmates Leva Bonaparte and Austin Kroll that she had made out with Whitney while celebrating the wedding of Shep Rose’s and Patricia’s pups. She also admitted that the musician even spent the night at her house. While fans everywhere tried to hold back a collective “ew,” Naomie did her best to act like an adult and show up for Whitney’s Frank Lloyd Wright weekend. However, fans truly believe Naomie is regretting her decision to get close to Whitney, especially when he made sure she had her very own room near his.
In recent weeks on Southern Charm, Naomie’s romance with Whitney has been highlighted. And in recent interviews, Craig has hinted that their relationship may have been more serious than it seemed on the show — at least up until this point. Naomie Olindo stepped out with what may have been a new boyfriend over the weekend. Despite their drama on screen, Craig concluded that there isn’t “anything unresolved” between him and the France native. “We live very separate lives now and, you know, we can cordially coexist, but no, you won’t see us hanging out,” he added.
