Craig Conover Reflects on Heartbreak: “I’d Have Given Up Everything for Paige”
Oh, the ups and downs of reality TV relationships! Craig Conover, the charming Southern Charm star, recently opened up about his breakup with Paige DeSorbo on the Tamron Hall Show, and let’s just say, the feels are real. In a candid moment, he admitted he would have “given up everything” to stay with Paige, a sentiment that’s both romantic and a bit heartbreaking. Reflecting on their three-year relationship, he recognized that staying in the relationship might have caused him to lose himself. Talk about a rollercoaster of emotions!
The duo, who captured hearts on their respective shows, called it quits in December 2024, a revelation that DeSorbo shared on her “Giggly Squad” podcast. Conover’s public vulnerability is refreshing, though it’s also stirred the pot for some juicy drama. Back in February, Paige teased some behind-the-scenes gossip on Summer House, where accusations of Craig texting other women first surfaced. “That’s the life we live on television!” Conover said, hinting at the absurdity of love in front of the cameras.
And if that’s not enough tea, swirling rumors suggested DeSorbo may have cheated on him with comedian Marcello Hernandez. Both stars have denied any infidelity, with Craig emphasizing that their split wasn’t filled with negativity. He stated, “It really wasn’t ugly or bad… we accomplished so much in three years.” Ah, the classic “we’re still friends” narrative.
As the dust settles, Craig continues to share wisdom on love and personal growth. Often using his Instagram to express his feelings, he revealed on January 7 that the breakup felt “very unexpected.” He even dropped some sage advice: “Gratitude will get you through this.” That’s one way to keep your head up after romance goes sour!
In the grand scheme of things, Conover’s perspective on relationships is reflective of many who have faced similar heartbreaks. With reality TV constantly scrutinizing every move, it’s a tough game to play. He’s made it clear that he doesn’t want to settle in love, stating, “You can only control how you react to it.” As for the future? Well, only time will tell if Conover finds his next great love—or if he’ll be binging on ice cream and reality TV reruns for a bit.
