Southern Charm star Craig Conover is happy to hear his ex Naomie Olindo is expanding her family — but that doesn’t mean they’ve been in touch following her pregnancy announcement.
“[My assistant] just told me I had to do this before tonight, ‘cause he goes, ‘Someone’s gonna ask you that,’” Craig, 37, said on the Thursday, November 12, episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. “I didn’t do it, but no, I haven’t.”
While Craig noted that he has yet to congratulate Naomie, 34, on her forthcoming bundle of joy, the Bravo star was open to reaching out.
“The reason I haven’t is because Naomie and I … are in a really good place and are friends,” he said. “I figured I would just see her, but you’re right: I do need to text her. I’ll text her after this. I’m happy for her.”
Craig’s fellow WWHL guest, Justine Lupe, defended his lack of communication.
“I feel like it’s not irregular for people to not text their exes ‘congratulations on the baby,’” the Nobody Wants This actress, 37, chimed in on Thursday.
Host Andy Cohen, however, pointed out that Craig should send a message if it was already “in [his] heart” to do so.
“I’m not going to stay in her life, [but] I will root for her,” Craig stated of Naomie. “I think she’s fine without me. I think she’s doing just fine.”
Us exclusively confirmed in April 2025 that Naomie, who dated Craig from 2015 to 2018, was dating Billy Haire. Naomie and Billy, 40, tied the knot in July, three months before revealing her pregnancy with baby No. 1.
“Bébé Billy à Bord!!,” Naomie wrote via Instagram in French, which translates to “Baby Billy on Board,” last month. “Feeling incredibly lucky (and shocked) to be in the chapter of life! And thinking of those still hoping for this chapter of their own.”
While Craig didn’t immediately speak with Naomie about her pregnancy, he previously shared his approval of her romance with Billy.
“I have heard more good things about this guy than anyone,” the Sewing Down South founder said on WWHL in December 2025. “So, apparently she’s in really good hands.”
Billy, for his part, was previously married to model Brooks Nader from 2019 to 2024.
“I can [talk] about my experiences. That’s in the fine print,” Brooks, 29, alleged on an episode of “The Viall Files” podcast in August 2025. “I think that I was a different person when I was married to him. [He] was the first guy I ever dated and met in New York. I was 19 years old … and then I stayed with him till 27, and I’m 28 now. I feel like it did shape me, and it was a really, really hard decision to get a divorce just because you don’t love somebody. That’s why I did it.”
