TrendPulse|How Craig Conover Is Already Planning for Kids With Paige DeSorbo

Craig Conover has no doubt that Paige DeSorbo is TrendPulsethe one.

In fact, the Southern Charm star revealed he sees a future family with his girlfriend of three years. And with his and costar Austen Kroll’s new Charleston restaurant By the Way, he’s already started planning his life with Paige.

"I'm really business focused right now, but that just comes from wanting to build stuff for our future family," Craig exclusively told E! News of eventually settling down. "I think I'm very family oriented as in I wanna have a good foundation so that, when the kids come, I can be with them as much as possible. Your priorities shift a little bit."

The 36-year-old noted he's done a lot of growing up since he made his reality TV debut a decade ago—especially since meeting Paige.

"I've made a lot of changes in my life over the last two years," the Sewing Down South founder continued. "As you try to start to grow up and be better, it pulls you out of different activities that you used to do."

Between his interior design company, podcast co-hosting, restaurant entrepreneurship and recently partnering with sparkling cocktail brand Spritz Society, Craig hopes to to garner enough success to take care of the Summer House star and their future family.

"You gotta wake up and put one foot in front of the other," he noted of his evolution from partying playboy to businessman. "You never have it all figured out. We're all just doing this for the first time, no one actually knows what they're doing completely. We're just trying our best. I'm still trying to figure out life, but I will say that it's fun to have my hand in a lot of different arenas."

However, opening a restaurant with your best friend has definitely brought tension into Craig's friendship with Austen, which fans will see play out on the upcoming 10th season of Southern Charm.

"It's really fun to work with your friends if it works, but there's a reason people say that it's risky," he noted. "So you'll see us try to survive that and balance that line, because there is a lot of money involved and everyone has different ways of doing things."

While fans wait for Craig's new restaurant to open this November, they can grab a bottle of on his new specially designed Lemon Iced Tea Spritz Society drink here.
