Reality TV stars Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover, known for their appearances on Bravo’s “Summer House,” “Southern Charm,” and “Winter House,” have officially announced their split after three years of dating.
The news was revealed by DeSorbo during the latest episode of her “Giggly Squad” podcast on December 30, where she confirmed that their decision to part ways was mutual.
A Mutual and Respectful Decision
DeSorbo explained on the podcast that the breakup wasn’t due to any conflict or wrongdoing. “I have so much love and respect for Craig,” she said. “He is one of the best people I’ve ever met in my entire life. But this decision felt right for both of us as we move forward in different directions.”
The reality star emphasized that their relationship ended on good terms, noting that their ability to communicate honestly about their feelings and future aspirations played a significant role. “No one did anything wrong,” she shared. “It’s just about being mature and recognizing what you want in real-time.”
Navigating Change in Their 30s
DeSorbo, 32, reflected on how her 30s have been a transformative period in her life. “I started dating Craig when I was 29, and now I’m 32. Your 30s, especially for women, are a time of significant growth and change,” she shared. Conover, 35, has yet to comment publicly on the breakup.
The couple had been balancing a long-distance relationship, with Conover based in Charleston and DeSorbo in New York City. Despite their efforts, the geographical challenges may have played a part in their decision.
Addressing Rumors
DeSorbo also dismissed speculation about the timing of their split being tied to their Bravo show premieres. “The network doesn’t have that much power over my personal decisions,” she stated, adding that the rumors of a breakup months ago were unfounded.

Reflecting on Their Relationship
Throughout their time together, fans speculated about the couple taking the next step, but DeSorbo and Conover maintained that they weren’t in a rush. In an earlier interview at BravoCon 2023, Conover explained, “We’ve settled into a sustainable flow that works for us. Let’s enjoy what we have instead of rushing.”
DeSorbo echoed similar sentiments in a previous podcast appearance, saying they rarely discussed engagement or starting a family. “We’ve had those conversations, but it’s not as frequent as people might think,” she said.
Moving Forward
Although the breakup marks the end of their romantic journey, DeSorbo expressed optimism about their future as individuals. “He’s definitely the best boyfriend I’ve ever had,” she said. “I’ll always be his biggest fan and wish him nothing but the best.”
