Southern Charm: Naomie Olindo Shows Off New Home After Metul Breakup
Southern Charm alum Naomie Olindo has moved on from Metul Shah and into a swanky new house. The former couple dated for three years before Naomie announced their split in July. The L'Abeye founder, who left the Bravo series after season 6, even moved to New York City to be with the medical doctor. But now she's back in Charleston and doing better than ever.
Only a few months into the NYC move, it came out that Metul had been cheating on Naomie. Soon after news of the scandal broke, Naomie confirmed the news in an emotional Instagram Story alongside a teary photo. She wrote at the time, “Nothing will be worse than losing my dad, but this is a close second." After the devastating betrayal, she returned to South Carolina. A month later, Naomie opened up on a podcast about moving forward with the huge change in her life. Now the former reality star is showing off her beautiful bachelorette pad and inspiring others through her display of strength.
This week, Naomie gave a peek into her new place on her Instagram Stories. The TV personality revealed her new Charleston home with a photo of the gorgeous backyard. The picture showcased a serene lap pool, surrounded by a white fence and gorgeous tall trees. Us Weekly reported that Naomie captioned the image, "New digs. Fresh start." Just before the celebratory snap, the 29-year-old shared a thoughtful message from a fan to her Story. Citing her as "breakup inspiration,” the anonymous follower wrote, “You’re literally pathing a path of confidence for the rest of us going through it.” Naomie responded, “I’m genuinely so proud of all the girls sharing their stories with me and helping themselves as well as others...the power of girls supporting girls is so amazing.” Naomie also thanked supportive fans on her birthday in another social media post from last month.
Now that she's back in South Carolina, some fans are rooting for Naomie to get back together with her pre-Metul boyfriend, Craig Conover. The two had dated for almost three years, which led to her initial appearance on the Bravo show. However, she dumped the Sewing Down South designer in 2017 due to his immaturity at the time. Showing that there's no hard feelings between the two former co-stars, Naomie recently commented on her happiness for Craig amid his latest success. It was also revealed that in the aftermath of her breakup, Craig and Naomie spoke on the phone for the first time in years.
She may not be back with Craig, but Naomie has still had some Southern Charm reunions. She remains close with Chelsea Meissner, who exited the reality show at the same time. Naomie was also seen out with Madison LeCroy. However, at this time, there is no word if she'll rejoin the series for season 8.
