Paige DeSorbo Reveals She and Craig Conover Have Split After 3 Years Dating: ‘It’s a Very Sad Thing’

“It was just the right decision for both of us moving forward in our lives,” DeSorbo said

Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover have called it quits.

The Summer House and Southern Charm stars, who met on the first season of Bravo’s Winter House, dated for three years before breaking up.

Their split appears to be a mutual decision, with DeSorbo saying on the newest episode of her Giggly Squad podcast published on Monday, Dec. 30 that she and Conover “have decided to no longer be together.”

“It’s weird, it’s very weird. I wasn’t expecting this,” she told podcast co-host Hannah Berner. “Obviously, when we first started dating, you don’t think, ‘Oh, what will happen? Will we get married, will we not?’ You’re just kind of like, in this relationship.”

DeSorbo didn’t reveal what caused the breakup, but hinted that there wasn’t strife. “Not to sound traditional and old fashioned, this is not a situation where I have, like, a 50-part series of ‘Who the f— was I dating?’” the reality personality joked. “Could not be more opposite of that.”

Said DeSorbo: “I have so much love and respect for Craig. I think he is one of the best people I have ever met in my entire life. I will remain the biggest fan of him and want the best for him and he truly will get the best because he is the best. But with that said, I think it was just the right decision for both of us moving forward in our lives and the direction in our lives that we didn’t force.”

“I love him, I think he loves me,” she added. “I think we will remain friends. No one did anything. It wasn’t a bad thing. I think we both were just being really mature and saying what we want and what we didn’t want, and I think that’s extremely powerful to be able to voice how you’re feeling in real-time and what you want for your future.”

“He’s definitely the best boyfriend I’ve ever had, like, I can truly say that,” DeSorbo said. “He was a great boyfriend, and he did everything correct, and he never made me feel insecure or anything like that, so it almost is harder when no one’s done anything to be mad about, and that’s hard.”
