There’s a new woman in Craig Conover’s life after his split late last year from longtime girlfriend Paige DeSorbo.
Craig, 36, said he was “really happy” during an appearance alongside his Southern Charm costars Shep Rose and Austen Kroll on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen on Thursday, March 27.
“When I date, I tend to date only one person at a time,” Craig told Andy Cohen. “I’ve been seeing someone. I’ve been reminded that the universe works in crazy ways and everything happens for a reason.”
During Watch What Happens Live, Andy, 56, touched on how the Summer House star, 32, had previously said that she didn’t feel supported in her relationship with Craig.
“She did,” Craig replied when Andy asked if Paige really felt his support during their time together. “She felt that way and, again, a lot of the stuff y’all are seeing is misconstrued and it’s not accurate and that’s OK.”
When the WWHL host pointed out that it appeared as though fans were seeing Paige’s feelings play out over their relationship, Craig said, “She might have been over the relationship, but she never not felt supported by me, in my opinion. But again, why does it matter? You’re also talking about the girl that broke up with me like a couple months after this. What you didn’t see on Southern Charm, what I saw before the reunion, you know, her in my pool saying she wanted to get married and have kids.”
The Bravo star said that it had been “a very frustrating couple of months” for him because of “decisions that were made outside of [his] control.”
“I’ve done a lot of work to just move forward,” Craig added.
Paige announced her and Craig’s split on the December 30, 2024, episode of her “Giggly Squad” podcast.
“Craig and I have decided to no longer be together,” Paige said 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.”
The fashion influencer added that she still had “so much love and respect” for the Southern Charm star, but admitted that her 30s had been “transformative” and she had “grown” since they first began dating.
“I think he is one of the best people I’ve met in my entire life. I will remain the biggest fan for him and want the best for him, and he truly will get the best, because he is the best,” Paige continued. “But, with that said, I think it is the right decision for both of us.”
Craig later broke his silence on their decision to part ways on January 7 via his Instagram Stories and told fans, “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. Remember to be kind to Paige and me and yourselves and all of that good stuff.”
