“Was Craig Blindsided?” Andy Confronts Paige on Summer House Split as She Gushes Over Being Single & Choosing Her Next Man

Andy Cohen doesn’t seem too sure that Craig Conover was “blindsided” by his split from Paige DeSorbo.

As the months leading up to their breakup continue to be featured on Summer House, Andy, 56, wondered if the 36-year-old Southern Charm cast member truly didn’t see the signs as Paige, 32, opened up about her new life as a single woman and looked ahead to her future.

“With all the discourse about Paige and Craig, it is really interesting now to see Paige’s POV,” Andy admitted on the April 22 episode of SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live. “Craig was like, ‘I was blindsided. I was blindsided.’ And when you watch Paige all summer long, she’s like, ‘I’m not…’ She’s anxious.”

In response, co-host Jordan mentioned that Craig and Paige “had talks” and that there had “been discourse.”

“Exactly,” Andy replied. “Right.”

Even co-host John got in on the conversation, mentioning a teaser for tonight’s episode in which Craig expressed concern over Paige’s busy schedule.

“You can see the look on her face. It’s like, girl, like, ‘What, do you want me to retire?'” he shared.

Meanwhile, during an appearance on Chelsea Handler‘s podcast, Paige claimed she was not dating anyone and trying to enjoy single life despite her booming career.

“I haven’t felt like I’ve gotten to enjoy it because I’ve been doing so much,” Paige admitted on the April 17 episode of Dear Chelsea, via Bravo’s The Daily Dish. “And that’s actually probably the best part about being single, being home by myself on a Saturday night. I f*cking love it. I’ve never gotten bored by myself.”

Although Paige is “proud” of her decision to call it quits with Craig, she was “really nervous” about being single at 32.

“Cause I mean, when I was 25, I was like, ‘Oh, I’ll obviously be married by my early 30s,'” she recalled. “And now that I’m 32 and I’m single, I’m like, ‘I couldn’t imagine I would not, I don’t think I would like it.’ I’m not ready. I already know I’m not ready.”

As she looks ahead to a potential relationship in the future, Paige confirmed she wants to play an active role in selecting her next boyfriend. 

“I had a therapist one time tell me that I’ve never picked my own boyfriend, and it kind of just hit me,” she noted. “I mean, she was exactly right. And I couldn’t ever get over that.”

Summer House season nine airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
