In a surprising turn of events, Bravo stars Craig Conover and Paige DeSorbo have announced their breakup after three years of dating. The news was revealed by Paige during the December 30th episode of her podcast, “Giggly Squad,” which she co-hosts with Hannah Burner.

Paige, who began dating Craig when she was just 29, expressed her feelings about the split, stating, “It’s weird, obviously it’s weird. I wasn’t expecting this.” As she reflected on her journey from a young woman to her current age of 32, she noted the transformative nature of her 30s and how both she and Craig have grown during their relationship.

Despite the breakup, Paige emphasized the love and respect she holds for Craig, describing him as “one of the best people” she has ever met. “I will remain the biggest fan of him and want the best for him,” she added, highlighting the amicable nature of their parting. The couple decided to take some time before publicly addressing their split, choosing to deal with it privately among family and friends first.

Paige clarified that their separation was not due to any wrongdoing on either side. “No one did anything. It wasn’t like a bad thing,” she said. The decision to end their relationship stemmed from a mutual understanding of their evolving lives and aspirations. “I think we both were just being really mature and saying what we want and what we didn’t want,” Paige explained.

Craig Conover, known for his role on “Southern Charm,” has yet to make a public comment regarding the breakup. The couple first met in 2019 while filming Season 4 of “Summer House” and reignited their romance two years later on the first season of “Winter House.” They officially confirmed their relationship in October 2021, but faced ongoing speculation about their future together, particularly due to the challenges posed by long-distance living — Paige residing in New York City while Craig maintains a home in Charleston, South Carolina.

In recent weeks, fans got a glimpse into the struggles of their relationship when Paige engaged in an emotional conversation with her co-star Sierra Miller, discussing the difficulties of balancing personal independence with the demands of a relationship. “It’s weird to have a boyfriend that’s giving hater energy,” she shared, hinting at the tension that had been brewing.

Looking ahead, Season 9 of “Summer House” is set to premiere on February 12th on Bravo, with episodes available for streaming on Peacock the following day. As fans await the new season, the details of Paige and Craig’s split will likely be a topic of discussion, especially given their significant presence in the Bravo universe.
