“Southern Charm” alum Naomie Olindo announced a sweet new addition to her family. The former Bravo star, who previously dated Craig Conover, revealed that her fiancé, Billy Haire, gave her the ultimate Valentine’s Day gift in 2026.
In a Feb. 15 post to her Instagram stories, Olindo shared a photo of a small black kitten lying belly up.
“Marry someone that when you say you want a kitten for Valentine’s Day, gets you a kitten for Valentine’s Day,” she captioned the post, adding, “Meet Lou! Formerly Spruce.”
Olindo and Haire announced their engagement on Instagram in December 2025. Haire, who was previously married to model and “Dancing With the Stars” alum Brooks Nader, popped the question while the two were on a hike with their dogs.
Naomi Olindo Introduced Lou/Spruce to Fans in a Video
Olindo’s new cat was adopted shortly before Valentine’s Dayfrom the Charleston Animal Society, a nonprofit animal rescue that she has supported in the past. On Feb. 12, she introduced Lou to fans via a video for the organization’s Valentine’s Day donation incentive.
“Look what I got for Valentine’s Day!” Olindo said in the clip as she held her new pet. “My brand new kitten, named Spruce. And, together, Spruce and I want to encourage you to unleash the love this Valentine’s Day at the Charleston Animal Society.”
Olindo added that every donation through February 17 would be doubled, up to $10,000, thanks to an anonymous donor. She also promised “a live shoutout on Instagram and Facebook” to thank fans for their donations.
Naomie Olindo Shared 2 Cats With Craig Conover
Bravo fans have long known that Olindo is an animal lover. When she was in a relationship with Conover, the couple shared cats Gizmo and Z.
“Naomie and I rescued this cat Z, which I fell in love with because, honestly, I never dreamed of having a cat, let alone two,” Conover told Unleashed, according to Bravo.com. “I fell for this cat because he was scared to even come out from under the bed when we first got him, and he was neglected as a kitten. It was cool watching him grow up.”
Gizmo ultimately went to live with Olindo’s parents, and Olindo took custody of Z after her split from the Sewing Down South founder.
“Unfortunately, when you have that last talk, Naomie took Z back. And Z should live with Naomie,” Conover shared.
Following the deaths of Gizmo and Z, Olindo rescued another cat, whom she named Omelet. Olindo shared photos of the white and orange cat in a 2022 Instagram post, where he recalled “the day I was just hungover enough in @petco to impulse-adopt Omelet.”
“A year and a half and a few pounds later, the rest is history. I love u Omelet!!!” she wrote.
In addition to her cats, Olindo shares dogs Olive and Gus with Haire.
