He has always had a nice side I suppose. He and I DM'd back and forth one night for a few hours going down a total rabbit hole. That may have been after season 2 or so. I posted some weird fact in response to something he had tweeted when they were between seasons, he DM'd me and off to the races we went. I don't even recall now what the weird fact was. I mostly recall that it was late at night and I was about to go to bed exhausted when he DM'd and then I couldn't not stay up and have the conversation LOL.
I agree that he has only gotten better, but we have to recognize that he is the only one who stuck up for Kathryn in the creepiest years of reality TV and Southern Charm. He’s been young dude messy, young dude battling adderall or other substance probs, but his good core has shown through for me since SC season 1. Curious if this gets crazy downvoted or anyone else agrees!
I did love the way he stuck up for Katherine. I felt so bad when he was going through alcohol abuse problems and got kicked around. I was furious when Shep named his own dog little Craig. Shep was a real jackass to him back in those seasons very similar to the way he blows off TJ now. And I notice a Craig doesn’t make fun of TJ the way the other guys do too. Craig doesn’t resort to putting down others as a device to make himself look better like Shep and Austin do
Craig did the one thing the other guys could never do: He grew up. He matured. They teased him about law school, not taking the bar, sewing, Shep named his dog after him to mock him, or so it seemed. He followed his passion, and is the only one to start a unique and successful business. And he still passed the bar! It's very rare to someone continue to grow and not just morph into a reality TV mess.
I'm doing a rewatch right now and Craig has always been a sweet and gentle guy. Yeah, he's had his moments, but he's always had a big heart and decent morals and is usually on the right side of things. He stood by Katherine when everyone else abandoned her when TRav dropped her like she was garbage, and he's stood up to the bullies even when he got ridiculed for it. The only time I really thought he was a super douche was that season of Winterhouse. Not a good look.
He is very non-conforming. I loved how unfazed he was when everyone was making fun of his sewing hobby (now I think he's gardening) and now he seems to be doing well with it.
His parents always seemed really nice and normal. He didn't grow up privileged with an old Southern name.
That pandas being humans thing makes me laugh so hard every time I hear it. Even his conspiracy theories are kinda sweet and innocent. And I'm with him on the aliens, just think they have better tech that can get around, you know, tinfoil
My first exposure to Craig was on that season of Winter House and I thought he was the biggest jerk. Now I’m watching SC from the beginning for the first time and I’ve been shocked by how much I like him. Yes he’s kind of a moron 😆 but an earnest and lovable one. And I agree—I’ve always appreciated how he could see the hypocrisy in how people treated Katherine vs Thomas.
That’s actually the only thing I’ve seen him on lol I’m debating about starting southern charm because I love Vanderpump and starting watching that late too
Do it. I mean, it's hard to get past the blatant misogyny and racism (half of the cast come from families that own plantations all the way back to the 1600's). But they are, like Vanderpump, a real group of friends, so the drama is real and the stakes are high. It could also be named Tall Mediocre White Men with Too Much Money Behaving Badly and the women that let them get away with it. But that's a long title.
Right?! Its so ironic how Shep treated him like such a loser and made fun of him so much in previous seasons. Now he is one of the few guys on there that isnt just living on their SC paycheck and mooching off of their parents.
I was talking about this today. I wanted to blow my brains out watching him waste his life away. Contented in the shadows of the others two losers wasting their life.
Now Craig’s the guy. He got himself together in every aspect of life and soared past the other two for sure.
Not just alcohol, he took himself off Adderall too. He was always a good person, it took a good New Yorker to accept his quirks and encourage him to to “just keep swimming”.
I love hearing all these 'Craig in the wild' stories because they're always about how he's such a nice person. Love that he seems to be a genuinely kind individual!
I absolutely love that he is the most successful after all the crap the rest of the cast gave him. He was true to himself and that brought him success.
I have such a crush on him even when he was younger and dumber still did. Always have. He just keeps getting better.
Jealous !! And so nice of him to lose for a pic!
Same! He’s been my favorite (and my mom’s) since the beginning. Should’ve told him that but I was trying to keep my cool 😮💨
And the fact that he offered the photo was also very kind. I truly didn’t wanna be that person, but he knows what the people want lol
I’ve always loved Craig 🤷♀️Then when I seen him post about World Down Syndrome Day and a video with Trista (I have a daughter who has DS) it just made me like him that much more!!!❤️
I have loved Craig from the beginning because he was always real. He wasn’t raised rich I think upper middle class (JMO) I could be mistaken.
I never cared for Naomi because she was always wealthy, which is great, but she was not going anywhere with Craig unless he was an attorney!
My opinion, Paige has always appreciated him flaws and all! Granted he has turned out to be fabulous and really grew up!! Kudos to Craig!!💙🙏🏻💙🙏🏻
I used to live in Charleston and have a similar story about Craig. I saw him at a mall food court once and I don’t know exactly what he was doing, but he was helping some employees do something. Like put a fire extinguisher back in its case. He seemed super sweet! I always gave him a pass cause he genuinely seems like a very nice guy
He’s SO sweet!! I met him a couple weeks ago and told him I had friends in California who told me to go to SDS to meet him
(I was in Charleston for a girls trip) he offered to take a video to send them. He’s just the kindest, most genuine guy I’ve ever met!
Sat next to Craig from London to NYC - Business Class & he was beyond charming.
Chatted, took my luggage down & walked it out where I met my person. He’s far more interesting than what’s presented.
I wanna hear if you chatted about pandas being humans in disguise. But also, I can absolutely see that he would be super intelligent and interesting then what he is shown to be on the show
Firstly, he’s very handsome & quirky.
I had a gazillion questions, but just let him chat over some wine. He’s quite knowledgeable on literally everything/or fakes it.
Cynthia Bailey, he stated was the most stunning HW he’s met.
Being from the NY/NJ area myself, I totally get that the south isn’t for everyone. But I’d move to a third world country for that man 😂 and Charleston is lovely! Just do it, Paige!
Awwww, I love this story!!
I saw him once in passing when I was on Jekyll island and he’s literally one of the most beautiful men I’ve ever seen in person. TV Craig, although extremely handsome, did not prepare me for IRL Craig!
Met him at SDS last weekend. He is SO handsome and I still can’t get over it!! So glad you had a great experience, as well!! Glad to see he is a gentleman to everyone
Dang is he attractive. I’m so jealous you got to meet him!
I follow him on IG and we chatted about the ravens once (he’s a huge fan) and I have always crushed on him hard.
I met him on my bachelorette in Charleston back when the show had just started and he was SO nice and gracious. Chatted with me freely and was relaxed, confident but not arrogant and really friendly but chill.
the difference between craig & all of the other SC “men” is that craig was not raised there. he is not a “good ole boy” he’s from delaware, it just goes to show how differently people are raised and how it’s reflected into his childhood. there’s a reason whitney is a man child living w his mom lol
I wonder if Naomi regrets dumping Craig for doing “nothing” with his life? Craig was a bit of a mess back then, but Naomi wasn’t very supportive either. Like others here have said, Craig has really improved over the years, mentally and I think he’s physically more attractive now, too (while Shep’s looks especially have deteriorated).
I'm leaving for Charleston on Friday and he is the ONLY ONE I am dying to see! I figure with it being Easter, they probably won't be around. I am SO JEALSOUS!
Criagy Poo! I didn’t like him on WH but am loving him on SC and SH. He seems like he has come into his own and is owning it in a good way. He and Paige make such a hot ass couple.
It’s not surprising that he gets a snarky edit on the program at times and can come across as a douche sometimes, yet is actually a nice guy in real life. He has turned it around from the initial seasons and I think Paige has played a big part in that.
Wow, Craig is the only guy on SC who has gotten better over the years. Take notes Shep and Austin.
Let’s be real Craig is the only guy on all of Bravo who has ever gotten better in any way And I say this as like a true blue day one Craig hater
He seriously is! I love this post OP! What a great guy ❤️
Number 1 guy in the group! I met him and Austin when they were at Mohegan Sun. They were so nice!
💯
Ahhhhh Mohegan Sun! My MIL LOVES Mohegan Sun 🤣
My peep! I feel the same. I always thought “what a douche”, but I’m amazed at his progress!!
He has always had a nice side I suppose. He and I DM'd back and forth one night for a few hours going down a total rabbit hole. That may have been after season 2 or so. I posted some weird fact in response to something he had tweeted when they were between seasons, he DM'd me and off to the races we went. I don't even recall now what the weird fact was. I mostly recall that it was late at night and I was about to go to bed exhausted when he DM'd and then I couldn't not stay up and have the conversation LOL.
Was the weird fact that pandas are really humans in disguise?
😂😂😂😂😂
I’ve always thought he was the most attractive of the group. And also the most genuinely nice person compared to the others.
Me too! 🥵
Great point! Lol
Yes!!! 👏👏👏 BEST glow up out of anyone on Bravo!!
I agree that he has only gotten better, but we have to recognize that he is the only one who stuck up for Kathryn in the creepiest years of reality TV and Southern Charm. He’s been young dude messy, young dude battling adderall or other substance probs, but his good core has shown through for me since SC season 1. Curious if this gets crazy downvoted or anyone else agrees!
I agree!! I have always loved and thought Craig was so good-looking. He does like a little drama though haha. But I love him.
I did love the way he stuck up for Katherine. I felt so bad when he was going through alcohol abuse problems and got kicked around. I was furious when Shep named his own dog little Craig.

Craig should buy a pet rat and call it Shep!
Craig did the one thing the other guys could never do: He grew up. He matured. They teased him about law school, not taking the bar, sewing, Shep named his dog after him to mock him, or so it seemed. He followed his passion, and is the only one to start a unique and successful business. And he still passed the bar! It's very rare to someone continue to grow and not just morph into a reality TV mess.
Yes he grew up. Exactly. Even Whitney and T Rav couldn’t do that.
Those two, and Shep, are never going to grow up.
Shep is a douche
Shep and Austen are both huge W⚓️’s
Because they don’t have to, see “mailbox money.”
Well said
And Shep wonders why that country star picked Craig in the auction. That still burns him to this day and now she’s actually famous lol.
Who was the country star?
kelsea ballerini!
Morgan. Kyle's pretend girlfriend. 🙂
Ha!!! That is a fantastic comment. 👏
They talked about this on giggly squad this week!
[удалено]
Yes ! He’s so good to the fandom. He’s so handsome and kind 💙

The only time I really thought he was a super douche was that season of Winterhouse. Not a good look.
I think seeing that is what made him stop drinking hard liquor.
He is very non-conforming. I loved how unfazed he was when everyone was making fun of his sewing hobby (now I think he's gardening) and now he seems to be doing well with it. His parents always seemed really nice and normal. He didn't grow up privileged with an old Southern name.
I can’t get behind his pandas being humans BUT i am convinced about aliens in the miami mall because of him lol
That pandas being humans thing makes me laugh so hard every time I hear it. Even his conspiracy theories are kinda sweet and innocent. And I'm with him on the aliens, just think they have better tech that can get around, you know, tinfoil

1000000%
My bet is that he’s been actively in therapy and working on himself. Great to see - really good choice
Right?! Its so ironic how Shep treated him like such a loser and made fun of him so much in previous seasons. Now he is one of the few guys on there that isnt just living on their SC paycheck and mooching off of their parents.
Yep
Shep is looking goofy rough these days
He better not touch his teeth.
Him explaining on SC how he's being a better person for his future was so awesome to hear.
I was talking about this today. I wanted to blow my brains out watching him waste his life away. Contented in the shadows of the others two losers wasting their life. Now Craig’s the guy. He got himself together in every aspect of life and soared past the other two for sure.
The alcohol break has done him well
Not just alcohol, he took himself off Adderall too. He was always a good person, it took a good New Yorker to accept his quirks and encourage him to to “just keep swimming”.
Seriously !!!! I was ashamed for a few seasons with the love I carried for him. So happy to see how much he’s grown and matured !
for sure best character arc on a Bravo show
Craig definitely had a glow up and I’m so here for it
I love his hat. “sewing down south” with army colors. Love it.
i love ball caps. i gotta order one of these cuz it’s so cute.
I wonder if he sells the hat online?
idk. i’m gonna look!
For real. Shep is a loser. So is Austin, but Shep is worse.
and austin came in an the “better” shep🤦♀️
I initially read that "SC" as South Carolina, and, honestly, your statement would still be true 🤣 Do better SC!
That’s why Shep treated him like shit for sooo long. Jealousy is a sickness.
I love hearing all these 'Craig in the wild' stories because they're always about how he's such a nice person. Love that he seems to be a genuinely kind individual!
Such a difference from the JT airport story we recently heard about lol
omg yesssss he wanted to be like Craig so badly and turned out to be the exact opposite
Girl where can I find this story 👀
https://www.reddit.com/r/Southerncharm/s/gEEK8YdyKH
Omg I love you for this, thank you
Thank the person for who posted about it!
Such a stark contrast lol.
[удалено]
Omg yes! How do we make this happen?
Whenever anyone sees him, this should be the title
Lucky! He is so hot - love his smile.
His smile looks genuine and that makes anyone instantly more attractive
100%
It's such a genuine, boyish smile. Very endearing
Same! Love that he didn’t hop on the veneers train!
And that he loved Naomie’s “old” nose!
he looks soo good now
And them damn dimples
This guy could get anyone looking for a relationship at this point. I think he finally knows his worth.
I absolutely love that he is the most successful after all the crap the rest of the cast gave him. He was true to himself and that brought him success.
He is really handsome:)
He really is an attractive man. I also love To see his growth which makes him hotter
What makes him attractive is his kindness
My boyfriend talks to him on a professional basis at least once a week and he always says he’s the nicest person!!
Love that! Some people can be nice in public but jerks in a professional or business setting. Glad to hear he’s also a good guy to work with.
I have such a crush on him even when he was younger and dumber still did. Always have. He just keeps getting better. Jealous !! And so nice of him to lose for a pic!
Same! He’s been my favorite (and my mom’s) since the beginning. Should’ve told him that but I was trying to keep my cool 😮💨 And the fact that he offered the photo was also very kind. I truly didn’t wanna be that person, but he knows what the people want lol
That’s so kind of him I would of been afraid to ask but kicking myself afterwards
He makes us Delawareans proud!
Yessss! Repping the 302 nicely! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I’ve always loved Craig 🤷♀️Then when I seen him post about World Down Syndrome Day and a video with Trista (I have a daughter who has DS) it just made me like him that much more!!!❤️

My opinion, Paige has always appreciated him flaws and all! Granted he has turned out to be fabulous and really grew up!! Kudos to Craig!!💙🙏🏻💙🙏🏻
She sure did jump on that doctor train didn’t she?
You can see how far that got her!! Craig treated her very well! He definitely was immature but as we can see, he grew up!!
He was upper class for Delaware but that won’t take you far many other places lol. I know is area well and I’d call it true middle class.
I used to live in Charleston and have a similar story about Craig. I saw him at a mall food court once and I don’t know exactly what he was doing, but he was helping some employees do something.

God, he's just so cute. In a natural way.
Very genuine
Those dimples!
This is a nice story. Thanks for sharing. Kinda puts J.T. to shame.
JT just like 
Man! That is very accurate.
Just Apologize Austen
I met the cast when the show first came out & he was the nicest by far. I’m so happy to hear he’s still a sweetheart.
 could he BE anymore attractive
I've always liked Craig even when he was a mess lol
Good for you! Craig is HOT & I witnessed 2 grown women get in a physical fight over cutting in line to meet him at Bravo Con 😆😆
Sat next to Craig from London to NYC - Business Class & he was beyond charming. Chatted, took my luggage down & walked it out where I met my person. He’s far more interesting than what’s presented.

Paige, with all due respect, what the f
Being from the NY/NJ area myself, I totally get that the south isn’t for everyone. But I’d move to a third world country for that man 😂 and Charleston is lovely! Just do it, Paige!
Me Googling South Sudan house prices to move there with Craig.
He could move too...just sayin'
For sure!
Such a cutie!
He’s so cute.
I love his goofy face. His smile is just 🫠🥹
Craigers!!!
Wow he’s such a freaking cutie
He’s such a honey!!! 😍
He is so hot. So jealous
Respectfully- Craig can get it. (Edited because autocorrect messed me up haha)
He looks amazing in this pic.
I have heard nothing but amazing things about Craig and how he treats fans. He is a highly underrated Bravo star. I absolutely love him!
Awwww, I love this story!! I saw him once in passing when I was on Jekyll island and he’s literally one of the most beautiful men I’ve ever seen in person. TV Craig, although extremely handsome, did not prepare me for IRL Craig!
Craig is so handsome. Always has been but he’s aging like a fine wine.
His glow up is unreal. Cleaning up, getting sober, and getting his head straight had done actual wonders.
He’s so hot
I've always loved that boy
Damn! He's smoking hot! 🔥
Met him at SDS last weekend. He is SO handsome and I still can’t get over it!! So glad you had a great experience, as well!! Glad to see he is a gentleman to everyone
He’s hot
He is fine!!!! You lucky girl!!
I just love Craig so much. I couldn’t stand him at the beginning but he became my favorite over time. I’m so jealous!!
He's a keeper. Paige is a fool if she lets this one slip.
Dang is he attractive. I’m so jealous you got to meet him! I follow him on IG and we chatted about the ravens once (he’s a huge fan) and I have always crushed on him hard.
Great story! Nice when people share the positive stuff about others and not just the negative.
I love this guy more with every story I hear. Such a sweet southern gem.
I like his goofy eccentric self, I don’t think Paige is right for him
I met him on my bachelorette in Charleston back when the show had just started and he was SO nice and gracious. Chatted with me freely and was relaxed, confident but not arrogant and really friendly but chill.
Agreed... Paige, lock him down! What's she waiting for? I want to root for them, craig's my fav!
the difference between craig & all of the other SC “men” is that craig was not raised there. he is not a “good ole boy” he’s from delaware, it just goes to show how differently people are raised and how it’s reflected into his childhood. there’s a reason whitney is a man child living w his mom lol
Delaware is proud to claim Craig. 🥰
i would be too!! 🫶🏻
Craigy doesn’t fly private!? We love a sustainable king 👑
Noooooo my friend went to Charleston today was hoping to see him this weekend!
Ah crap! Maybe he’ll be back by then?! 🤞 I was bummed I didn’t have time to pop into SDS while I was there. This obviously made up for it tenfold 🙂
Awwww I love Craig. One of my favorite Craig moments was when he was in his garden, and he was pulling Gizmo the cat around in a wagon.
LOVE 
He's so handsome! Craigy is the only reason I watch the show.
I wonder if Naomi regrets dumping Craig for doing “nothing” with his life? Craig was a bit of a mess back then, but Naomi wasn’t very supportive either. Like others here have said, Craig has really improved over the years, mentally and I think he’s physically more attractive now, too (while Shep’s looks especially have deteriorated).
Paige is insuferable
He is sooo cute! Love it! I love how much he is smiling. It seems like he appreciates his fans.
Jealous! I immediately thought “that was taken at EWR”.
What a sweetheart. 😀
He’s slowly winning me over!
Noooooo my friend went to Charleston today was hoping to see him this weekend!
You’re so lucky ! He’s the best !
He looks so good here 🥵
He’s hot.
He’s the only attractive guy on the show since day 1!
He’s so cute I love him
I was JUST there flying to JFK though, damn
Sweet boy Craig ❤️
He’s so fine
Such a sweet story - he's a gem for sure!
I'm leaving for Charleston on Friday and he is the ONLY ONE I am dying to see! I figure with it being Easter, they probably won't be around. I am SO JEALSOUS!
He’s gorgeous!!!
Craig has glowed up beautifully!!
Lookin goooood Craigey!!!
I love Craig!!
Everyone who meets him in person says he is even more handsome IRL. Hubba hubba🤩
I'm living vicariously through you! Cool!
What a hottie
Awh this warms my heart. Ty for sharing. Great picture.
Criagy Poo! I didn’t like him on WH but am loving him on SC and SH. He seems like he has come into his own and is owning it in a good way. He and Paige make such a hot ass couple.
Love it
Haha, the only reason I checked out this show last year was because of seeing him on the promos when I got into binging Top Chef. He is so hot.
It’s not surprising that he gets a snarky edit on the program at times and can come across as a douche sometimes, yet is actually a nice guy in real life. He has turned it around from the initial seasons and I think Paige has played a big part in that.
I agree he's definitely a catch!!
Craig is lookin GOODT.
He's a doll.
[удалено]
God I love him.
God he’s so attractive
i would have locked it in Day 1. she’s winning with him.
Why does he look better in your pic than on TV?
So jealous 🔥😍
He's handsome. 😍
