Paige DeSorbo Reveals Heartfelt Struggle That Paved Way to Craig Conover Breakup

Paige DeSorbo‘s star continues to rise.

Prior to her split with Craig Conover, the star of “Summer House” openly discussed how her rising popularity and escalating work commitments occasionally strained her relationship and limited the quality time she could spend with her partner of three years.

Allow me to express something quite frankly: I find myself reflecting upon Craig’s situation, as I’ve evolved significantly since we first began our journey together three years ago. My life has taken a more demanding trajectory now; I’m busier and less present than before. Furthermore, my views on matters such as marriage, moving, and starting a family have undergone transformations.

But that didn’t mean Paige felt bad for having a booming career.

The 32-year-old went on to say, “I won’t offer an apology because my schedule has become more demanding, nor will I claim to always share the same views as before. However, it’s important for me to acknowledge that I have undergone significant changes.

After discussing on the phone, Paige found herself unable to meet Craig due to conflicting schedules – hers being packed in New York City, and his being overwhelmed in Charleston, where he stars on Southern Charm.

It’s well-known that Craig struggled to come to terms with the fact that his girlfriend, who had been very self-reliant for three years, ultimately decided to end their relationship in November.

During the latest episode of Southern Charm on Feb 13, the founder of Sewing Down South expressed concern: “If someone values you, they’ll find time for you. I struggle with this because Paige is constantly busy, and her career is very important to her. I’ve had to learn how to navigate that lifestyle.

Moreover, their uncertainty over their shared future and commitment to each other played a significant role in their eventual separation.

The 35-year-old expressed on the Bravo series’ Jan 23 episode that it seems everyone understands my desire to get engaged, which I’ve made clear. However, she frequently changes her thoughts about various matters.

One time she might message me saying something like, “Let’s construct a secluded farmhouse,” or “I’m relocating to Charleston,” he went on. “After that, she could have a wonderful day in New York and remark, ‘I really enjoy it here.’

In the end, Craig felt Paige’s behavior was “confusing” before they eventually parted ways.

Watch as the unfolding saga of Craig and Paige’s relationship tension unfolds on ‘Summer House’, airing every Wednesday at 9 p.m., and ‘Southern Charm’ every Thursday at 8 p.m., both on Bravo.

In the meantime, keep reading for a closer look at their romance pre-split.

In the summer of 2021, cast members Craig Conover and Paige DeSorbo from Winter House began casually dating. As their feelings deepened, they officially became a couple in the fall. According to Craig, he shared with TopMob News, “We continued dating openly until it reached a point where I found myself liking one person so much that I no longer wanted to date anyone else.

On September 25, Craig attended a photobooth celebration with Paige, marking the wedding of their “Summer House” co-stars Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula.

For Halloween, Paige and Craig chose to emulate Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee, as depicted in the series “Pam and Tommy” on Hulu.

In a casual, easy-to-understand manner: A pair of sweethearts nibbled on their preferred treats at Panera Bread in March 2024, as they unveiled the restaurant chain’s newly updated menu.

Amid online speculation that the couple had broken up, Craig shut down the breakup rumors.

In an interview with TopMob News in December 2024, he clarified that the source of a certain matter was unknown to him since he spends time with Paige almost every week. Contrary to speculation, therefore, it can be confirmed that they are not separated and continue to remain together.

After several months of uncertainty, Paige confirmed during the 2024 holiday season that she and Craig had parted ways following a three-year relationship.

During her Giggly Squad podcast on Dec. 30, Paige stated that nothing specific had occurred. She explained, ‘I believe we were both maturing by expressing our desires and dislikes, and I think it’s very powerful to articulate feelings in the moment and what you wish for your future.’ This means, essentially, no action was taken but voicing one’s thoughts is a mature and impactful way to communicate.

Additionally, the influencer dismissed speculations about infidelity involving her and the Southern Charm star, confirming that their separation was friendly and mutually agreed upon.

Paige went on to say that he’s among the greatest individuals she’s ever encountered throughout her life. She expressed that she’ll always be a devoted supporter of his, wishing only the best for him, as he truly deserves it because he’s exceptional in every way.

Over a week after the breakup news went public, Craig shared his side of the story.

Craig expressed in an Instagram video on January 7th that the situation had taken him by surprise, to put it mildly. He admitted he was quite taken aback, but reminded everyone that maintaining a relationship involves two parties. One cannot dictate another person’s actions; one can only manage their own response.

That said, Craig also wants everyone to extend grace to his now-ex.

He mentioned, “I’m currently dealing with a lot, given that we had a three-year relationship and my closest companion was someone I interacted with all the time. Now, they’re no longer around. Eventually, I’ll have more to share about this, but for now, I wanted to express my gratitude for the warm messages everyone has sent me.
