Summer House stars Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover split in November 2024, though fans are getting to watch the final months of their relationship – which included cheating allegations – play out on season 9.
While the majority of the show takes place over the summer of 2024, the premiere episode on Wednesday, February 12, ended with Paige, 32, meeting up with costars Amanda Batula and Lindsay Hubbard to discuss her split from Craig, 36, in January of this year. “I’m like, Craig, what are you talking about? I feel like you’re so betraying me right now,” Paige told her friends as they seemingly discussed the breakup.
“You’re gonna let people say that I’m a cheater,” she continued, referencing rumors that swirled that she was unfaithful during their relationship. “I caught you texting two bitches in the course of our relationship.”
After she implied that Craig could have cheated on her, Paige added, “Now you’re dead to me.”
Craig did not get the chance to weigh in on Paige’s claims, though fans can expect to learn more about their split during the current season.
Paige announced that she and Craig parted ways after three years of dating during a December 2024 episode of her “Giggly Squad” podcast. “Craig and I have decided to no longer be together,” she told her listeners at the time. “I love him, I think he loves me. 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.”
Shortly after Paige shared the news, rumors began to swirl that she had cheated on Craig. The Southern Charm star never shut down the speculation, though Paige adamantly denied rumors that she was unfaithful.
In light of the never ending rumors, Paige clarified her and Craig’s split timeline during the February 3 episode of “Giggly Squad.”
“Let me say this here and now. I did not move on with some new guy. I’m single. I don’t have a new boyfriend. I did not cheat not on my ex-boyfriend,” she said, adding that she “never physically cheated” or “emotionally cheated” on Craig during their relationship.
Paige explained she tried to be intentional with the announcement that they split because she didn’t want either of their reputations to be tarnished. However, she has since decided to share more insight into the split after Craig didn’t shut down the cheating rumors.
“But since no one’s sticking up for me on the other side … perpetuating even more rumors, I will say that Craig and I broke up Thanksgiving weekend. OK? That’s at the end of November,” Paige continued.
She added that Craig “did press for Southern Charm” after they called it quits, and pointed out that he “did whatever he needed to do” in order to act like they “were still together.”
