During Season 10, Episode 7 of Southern Charm, which aired January 23, Craig Conover opened up about struggles in his relationship with then-girlfriend Paige DeSorbo.
The conversation went down while he was having a grill night with Shep Rose at his new, perfect-for-entertaining Charleston house.
“You have been itching for this white picket fence existence. Now you have it!” Shep said after Craig turned on his outdoor fireplace with the touch of a button.
But really, he didn’t have it all.
“I think everyone knows that, like, if it was up to me we would just get engaged,” Craig explained to his friend. “But she changes her mind a lot about stuff. One day she’ll text me, ‘Let’s build a f--king farm house in the middle of nowhere.’ Or, you know, ‘I’m moving to Charleston!’ And then she’ll have a good day in New York and be like ‘I love it up here.’”
“Is that hard to hear?” Shep asked.
“It gets confusing,” Craig responded.
In a confessional, he shared more of his thoughts. “Me waiting a couple of years to have a kid? Not a big deal. But what I’m risking is … what if Paige wants to turn those couple years into ten years?”
Back with Shep, Craig admitted this was all just a part of life. “It’s a bunch of decisions and compromises,” he added.
Why did Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover break up?
Paige and Craig announced their breakup in December 2024, when Paige shared the news on her podcast. They'd been together for three years, and Paige said there wasn't any drama to the split; they were just moving in different directions in their lives.
Days later, Craig shared some insight into the split via his Instagram Stories.
"I figured it's finally time to check in with everyone. Sorry about the delay. This has all been very, very unexpected, to say the least. But I guess life has to, I gotta start living it, whatever that looks like. Whatever my new normal looks like, I have to start," he explained. "Gratitude will get you through this. [With] time comes clarity, all of the advice I'm trying to listen to. Right before the holidays, I was very shocked and it's OK. It takes two people to be in a relationship and you can't control other people. You can only control how you react to it. So, gonna be kind to Paige and me and yourselves and all of that good stuff. I am still processing everything, which is normal. I mean, [it was a] 3-year relationship; it's your best friend who you talk to all day every day; and then they're just gone."
Over the years, we've seen the couple share differing opinions on their future — from when to have children to where they'd live.
