Shocking Twist: Craig and Paige Chose Engagement Rings Before Their Sudden Split!

Craig Conover was ready to put a ring on it before his breakup with Paige DeSorbo.

Indeed, the star of Southern Charm disclosed fresh information on his earlier intentions for proposing to his former girlfriend, which he carried out prior to their separation in November.

During their conversation on the Bravo series, episode from February 6th, Patricia Altschul, Craig’s costar, inquired about his relationship status by asking, “Have you ever considered setting a deadline for yourself?

However, Craig rebuffed the suggestion.

He informed Patricia during their dinner with Shep Rose, Austen Kroll, Whitney Sudler-Smith, and Ryan Albert, “No, I agree with what we’re doing.” He implied that he didn’t need to speak up because everyone else was already expressing his views.

Nevertheless, there was doubt among Craig’s fellow actors as to the genuine nature of his and Paige’s long-distance relationship.

Or simply:

Despite this, Craig’s co-stars were uncertain about the authenticity of their long-distance romance with Paige.

Austen remarked during a private conversation, “He’s never indicated that they’ve had an argument, something I find hard to believe. If Craig were to say, ‘We’ve been facing issues for the past three months,’ I would have been completely clueless.

Furthermore, in his personal reflection, Shep noted, “I can’t say for certain how their everyday relationship unfolds. Craig isn’t open about his romantic life. It’s a common saying: ‘You never really know what goes on within private spaces.’

After nearly three years together, Patricia felt it was appropriate for John to propose marriage or decide to end their relationship.

I persistently suggest, “You could continue this journey, but it might be intriguing to put forth a proposal, allowing for the possibility of her acceptance or rejection.

In a somewhat shy manner, he confirmed, “We will be tying the knot, though the exact timing is undecided as of now. It’s not planned or scheduled yet; I still need to pop the question to her.

Nevertheless, the 35-year-old stated, “I plan to pop the question soon, likely by the end of this year. In other words, it might be just around the corner.

Craig then dropped a bombshell that shocked the entire group of Charleston socialites.

In our private conversation, I shared a set of rings with her and invited her to choose her preferred one. To my surprise, she selected not just one but two that happened to be my personal favorites. Among them, she chose the stunning emerald cut and the elegant elongated cushion.

Eagerly, I nodded in agreement as Patricia shared her expertise, “You’ll want side diamonds for that cut,” a suggestion I couldn’t ignore. To the wise 83-year-old, I pledged, “I’ll be reaching out to you for more of your diamond wisdom. After all, who else would I trust on this matter?

However, Craig expressed some uncertainty about their future plans regarding moving closer together.

He shared with the gathering, “We’re unsure about our future destination, but we refuse to let uncertainty dampen the joy we experience today.

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 any rumors about a breakup was unclear since they spend time together almost every week. He emphasized that there has been no split between him and Paige, and they continue to be a couple.

After several months of uncertainty, Paige confirmed during the 2024 holiday season that she and Craig had ended their relationship, which had lasted for three years.

During the December 30th episode of her podcast “Giggly Squad”, Paige mentioned, “Nothing happened. It wasn’t a negative situation.” She further explained, “I believe we were just maturing and expressing our desires and dislikes openly. I think it’s incredibly powerful to articulate your feelings instantly and what you aspire for in the future.

Additionally, the influencer dismissed allegations of infidelity involving her and the Southern Charm star, maintaining that their separation was friendly and amicable.

Paige went on to say that she believes he’s one of the finest individuals she’s ever encountered throughout her life,” she added. “I’ll always be a devoted admirer of his, wishing only the very best for him, and I truly believe he deserves nothing less because he is extraordinary.

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

Craig expressed in a January 7th Instagram video that the recent events were completely unforeseen, to put it mildly. He was taken aback and acknowledged that maintaining a relationship involves two individuals. One can’t dictate others’ actions but can manage their response to such situations.

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

I’m still trying to make sense of everything, given the three-year-long relationship and the fact that my daily confidant has suddenly disappeared. It’s a lot to take in, and while I may not be ready to share more just yet, I want to express my gratitude for all the supportive messages I’ve received.
