Paulina Gretzky Rung in the New Year with a Very Unexpected Reality TV Star

It’s no secret that Wayne Gretzky’s daughter, Paulina Gretzky, is a social butterfly. While she rarely posts on social media anymore, when she does, we see her living her best life with her group of pals at a luxe location. Recently, she celebrated New Year’s in style with a bunch of pals, but when she uploaded the pics on Jan 2, maybe eagle-eyed fans noticed a surprising face: Craig Conover.

In case you missed it, on Jan 2, Paulina shared a series of photos from her celebration with the caption reading, “new year loading…”

In the photos, we see Paulina partying with her pals and family, pouring champagne with her husband Dustin Johnson, and looking stunning in a backless gray jumpsuit. However, on slide four, fans saw an unexpected face: Conover.

Yes, Conover was in their photos, and fans had so many questions. But for those who don’t know, Conover is a television personality from the hit show Southern Charm, as well as an attorney and businessman. Recently, he has made numerous headlines for his high-profile breakup with famous model Paige DeSorbo.

Many fans commented, saying “Lollll Wait Craig ???” and “Craig there so random.” Initially, many fans thought that as well, until you look further into their timelines, and you see that the pair have been pals for years.

We love a good surprising celebrity friendship moment like this, and we hope they had the best time starting 2025.
