Naomie Olindo has a new man in her life—and she’s finally letting fans in on the secret. The “Southern Charm” alum recently confirmed her relationship with businessman Billy Haire, sharing romantic boat photos on Instagram and dishing sweet details about how they met.
Naomie Olindo Dishes All About Her New Romance With Billy Haire
Olindo made headlines at the end of April when she posted a sunset photo on her Instagram Story featuring herself and Haire cozying up on a boat. Fans immediately speculated about the mystery man, now, she has confirmed their relationship during a recent Q&A session on Instagram.
“We were set up by mutual friends,” she wrote over a new photo of the pair. “Listen to your friends even if you don’t want to! They know you better than you think!”
Olindo and Haire have been dating “for a few months,” with one insider telling People, “I haven’t seen Naomie more herself or more happy.”
Haire is no stranger to public attention either. The Sun reports that he is a businessman and real estate investor who earned his MBA from NYU’s Stern School of Business. He is also divorcing Sports Illustrated model and “Dancing with the Stars” contestant Brooks Nader.
In the photo that confirmed their relationship, Olindo wore a patterned bikini and bucket hat while smiling beside Haire, who looked relaxed in a backward baseball cap and dark sunglasses. A simple red heart emoji was all that was needed for a caption.

Olindo’s love life has long been a topic of interest for Bravo fans. She famously dated “Southern Charm” co-star Craig Conover from 2015 to 2017. The couple lived together and even discussed engagement before ultimately splitting. Conover later told The Daily Dish, “We just didn’t want the same things.”
In 2018, Olindo moved on with an anesthesiologist, Metul Shah. The pair relocated to New York City, but their relationship ended in 2021 amid rumors of infidelity. On The Skinny Confidential Him & Her podcast, Olindo said, “I think I just wanted to feel loved… I don’t think he ever truly loved and accepted me.”
Life After ‘Southern Charm’: Why Naomie Olindo Isn’t Going Back
Although Olindo returned briefly for “Southern Charm” season 8, she’s since moved on. During the same Q&A where she discussed her new boyfriend, she made it clear she has no plans to rejoin the show.
“I love and support pretty much everyone on the show,” she said. “It was fun for me until it wasn’t fun, which is why I left.”
These days, Olindo is focused on her business, Labeye, and enjoying life in Charleston. She recently purchased her “dream home” and collaborated with Citrine Swim on a collection of printed bikinis inspired by the South of France.
She’s still friendly with several cast members, even attending the opening of Conover and Austen Kroll’s new King Street bar, By the Way. She also spent the holidays with Leva Bonaparte and others from the Bravo universe.
