'Reality TV Holds You Accountable'

The Southern Charm star is proud of his evolution over the past decade on the hit Bravo show

Craig Conover has come a long way since he debuted on Season 1 of Southern Charm in 2014. "I started filming when I Ca was 24, and I'm 36 now," he says. "I've grown up a lot." The lawyer turned entrepreneur credits the series with helping him mature. "Reality TV is a giant mirror you hold up to yourself. Every year you're trying to get better. It holds you accountable." Here, the Pillows and Beer podcast co-host- who recently teamed up with Heluva Good! dips - talks to In Touch's Fortune Benatar about his journey, when he's planning to settle down with his girlfriend of almost three years, Summer House star Paige DeSorbo, and his biggest splurge.
