Reality TV star Craig Conover opened up about his relationship with Paige DeSorbo, shedding light on the challenges he faced before their recent split in December 2024.
During the February 13, 2025, episode of the Bravo series Southern Charm, Craig reflected on his biggest insecurity while dating his ex-girlfriend and co-star.
Speaking in a confessional segment, he candidly revealed that he often felt like he was not a priority for Paige, saying,
“You shouldn’t have to force someone into liking you. If the person likes you, they’ll make time for you. It’s an insecurity that I have dealt with…”
Despite his vulnerability, Craig also acknowledged the reasons behind his ex’s behavior, pointing to her driven nature and ambitious career goals. He explained,
“Because Paige is so busy and her career is one of her biggest priorities. I had to learn how to exist in that world”.

Just days before Craig’s latest remarks about his failed relationship with fellow Southern Charm co-star, he opened up about the same during an exclusive appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on February 6, 2025.
Reflecting on the emotional toll of their breakup and the reasons behind it, Craig candidly shared,
“It’s been a whirlwind… If two people love each other, you’ll make it work… We didn’t want different things. She just wanted other people and that’s fine. She didn’t want those things with me anymore and I’m not mad at her for that…”
In a surprising twist, the Winter House star revealed he was blindsided by the breakup, offering insight into how it unfolded. He explained,
“I didn’t tell her what to say [about the breakup on her podcast]. I got a text and she said, I’m announcing it on my podcast. And then she said it was mutual, which it wasn’t. I didn’t know about it. She called me and told me”.
Craig Conover and Paige DeSorbo first crossed paths in 2019 while filming Season 4 of the reality show Summer House. Romance rumors began swirling in February 2021, and by October of that year, the two officially confirmed their relationship.
However, after four years together, Paige and Craig parted ways in late 2024.
