Paige DeSorbo Says Craig Conover Never Bought Her an Engagement Ring, Despite What He Told Andy Cohen

   

Andy Cohen asks Craig Conover about Paige DeSorbo's 'new guy' in dramatic 'Southern  Charm' reunion trailer

If you thought the end of Summer House and Southern Charm's respective seasons would bring an end to the drama betweenPaige DeSorbo and Craig Conover, you've clearly never been through a Bravo breakup. Case in point: Just this week, Paige said that Craig never bought her an engagement ring before their split, despite what he told Bravo boss Andy Cohen.

Quick catch up: During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live! in March, Craig told Andy that he had “just returned” the engagement ring he bought for Paige that morning. “I just don't need custody of it anymore, so I took it back to the guy,” he said. At the same time, he revealed that he was seeing someone new—later identified as Natalie Buffett. Clearly, he wanted it to be known that he was moving on from the drama of the breakup. But based on the Summer House season 9 reunion, he seems to have failed spectacularly.

Though she didn't comment on the story at the time, Paige is speaking out now, casting doubt on Craig's story. “That ring does not exist,” she said at the Summer House season 9 reunion. She went on to poke holes in her ex's story, calling it “convenient” that he had decided to return the supposed ring the same morning of his Watch What Happens Live appearance. “Him and his new girlfriend went and returned my ring? I don't think so, Andy. That's insane,” she said.

Craig has yet to respond, but knowing these two, I'm sure it's only a matter of time. Ever since Paige and Craig broke up in late 2024, they've been going back and forth in the press, arguing about what really happened between them. Fans originally accused Paige of cheating (she denied it), which then led to a debate on whether or not Craig should defend her against false allegations (spoiler: he didn't even try) and Paige claiming that Craig was texting other women (Craig denies cheating). The whole split has gotten pretty messy. And with both parties continuing to take swipes at each other, it's pretty clear that this is one mess that isn't going to get cleaned up anytime soon.
