As we delve into 2024, the realm of reality television has unveiled numerous unexpected twists and turns. Among the most shocking developments was the surprising breakup of Summer House’s Paige DeSorbo and Southern Charm’s Craig Conover. This revelation came directly from Paige during a recent episode of her podcast, Giggly Squad, co-hosted with Hannah Berner. The couple, who had been together for three years, faced external pressures from the media regarding their relationship milestones. Despite the challenges of maintaining a long-distance romance, with Paige residing in New York City and Craig in Charleston, they initially managed to keep their love alive through commitment and understanding.

During the podcast episode, Paige struggled emotionally as she discussed the breakup. She described it as “weird” to share such personal news in a public setting, yet she emphasized that she has “nothing but love” for Craig. Speculation about their relationship status had circulated for several months, with many rumors suggesting they had ended things earlier. However, Paige clarified that the breakup was not a publicity stunt to generate buzz for their respective shows, which highlights the integrity they both maintained throughout their relationship.

Reflecting on the End of an Era for ‘Summer House’ Fans

Bravo has experienced a significant shift with the breakup of Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover, a beloved couple from the network, after three years together. In the December 30 episode of her podcast, Giggly Squad, Paige announced, “Craig and I have decided to no longer be together. I love him. I think he loves me. I think we will remain friends. No one did anything. It wasn’t a bad thing.” She elaborated that both individuals had been mature enough to express their feelings and desires regarding their relationship, which is a commendable aspect of their dynamic. They faced immense pressure from the media and friends to define their future, yet they focused on making decisions that honored their genuine feelings for one another.

Rumors surrounding their relationship had been present since its inception, but both Paige and Craig demonstrated remarkable maturity by choosing to enjoy their time together without succumbing to external influences. Paige expressed her discomfort in addressing their breakup publicly, stating, “No one can tell me what to do. The network has power, but they don’t have that much power. So, that was not a real thing. Rumors of us breaking up months ago — again, also not a real thing.” Their breakup, while unfortunate, serves as a testament to their respect for one another and their ability to navigate personal challenges with grace as they part ways amicably.

Summer House can be streamed on Peacock, allowing fans to revisit the cherished moments of Paige and Craig’s journey.
