Shocking Update: Craig Conover Returns Engagement Ring to Paige DeSorbo
Let’s dive into the tangled web of reality romance, shall we? Craig Conover, the charming star from Southern Charm, recently revealed on Watch What Happens Live that he returned the engagement ring he once bought for ex-girlfriend Paige DeSorbo, and frankly, the timing couldn’t be more intriguing. In a surprising twist during the March 27 episode, Conover casually dropped this bombshell, leaving his co-stars—and presumably a good chunk of the audience—gaping in disbelief. “I just returned it this morning,” he declared, as if he was merely recounting a trip to the grocery store rather than a significant moment in his romantic history.
Conover, who met DeSorbo on Bravo’s Winter House, seemed to approach this emotional milestone with the nonchalance of someone returning a pair of shoes that didn’t quite fit. He explained that he no longer feels the need to “have custody” of the ring, which he initially purchased during the drama-filled Season 10 of Southern Charm. After three years of dating, the couple’s split in December 2024 left many viewers shocked. Conover himself described the breakup as “very, very unexpected,” highlighting the all-too-familiar reality that relationships can dissolve faster than a sugar cube in hot tea.
In a heartfelt moment, DeSorbo shared on her podcast Giggly Squad that their split took her by surprise, admitting, “It’s weird, it’s very weird. I wasn’t expecting this.” Conover echoed her sentiments, mentioning how they had planned a future together and how he hadn’t noticed any red flags during their time together. Spoiler alert: relationships are complicated, and navigating the emotional aftermath is an art form unto itself.
As the drama continues to unfold, one can’t help but wonder if the reality television gods are preparing us for more twists and turns in this saga of love lost. One thing’s for sure: this engagement ring saga is just another chapter in the reality dating playbook. Class dismissed. Don’t forget your homework on emotional resilience.
