Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover might have ended their relationship, but talks around their break-up are far from over.

The Summer House star recently appeared on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, where the host asked her some rapid-fire questions about her ex-boyfriend and their split. Cohen also asked Paige about Craig’s previous remarks on WWHL about dating someone. Opening up about Conover entering a new relationship, The Winter House star proclaimed that she is happy for his ex,

“I love it [Conover dating Natalie Buffet]. I’m happy for him.”

DeSorbo and Conover, who met on the set of Summer House, reportedly started dating in 2021. The relationship between the reality TV stars lasted three years before they broke up in November last year. Paige initially announced the split in December, and later, Craig shared his feelings on Instagram, claiming that the breakup was “unexpected.” He said in a video shared via Instagram Stories,

“Right before the holidays, I was very shocked and it’s okay. 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.”

He asked the fans to be kind to him and Paige and added,

“I’m still processing everything, which is normal. I mean, a three-year relationship, it’s your best friend who you talk to all day, every day, and then they’re just gone. So, you know, one day, I’ll be able to talk more on it, but right now, I just wanted to thank everyone for their kind messages.”

Paige DeSorbo revealed that she and Craig parted ways around Thanksgiving

After Craig Conover’s video, her former Summer House co-star and ex-girlfriend reportedly faced cheating accusations. At the time, she was also snapped with an unknown person at an NFL game. Paige DeSorbo denied all the rumors in February on her podcast, Giggly Squad, stating that she “never physically cheated on him” or “emotionally cheated” on Craig.

During the podcast, Paige also revealed that she broke up with Craig Conover during Thanksgiving. The reality TV star talked about receiving hate for allegedly blindsiding someone “before the holidays” (referring to Craig’s comments) and asserted,

“I didn’t want to do a back-and-forth. 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.”

Initially, DeSorbo had kept mum about the split rumors but announced the break-up in December on Giggly Squad. Paige shared,

“Craig and I have decided to no longer be together. And I know I said I would never cry on the internet, but it's okay if I cry on the pod. I feel like that's okay. It's weird, obviously it's weird.”

Paige DeSorbo claimed that she still has “so much love and respect for Craig,” claiming that he was one of the best people she had met in her life. The Winter House star also said she remains Conover’s “biggest fan.” Paige DeSorbo added,

“I love him, I think he loves me. I think we will remain friends. No one did anything. It wasn't like a bad thing. I think we both were just being really mature and saying what we want and what we didn't want.”

The dynamic between Craig Conover and Paige DeSorbo wasn’t ideal after their breakup, as the former avoided defending the latter amidst the cheating rumors. Andy Cohen asked the same during a recent episode of WWHL, and DeSorbo responded,

“I feel like, exes don’t owe each other anything, but we are in a different situation. And I didn’t need him to defend me, but I needed him to not lean into it.”

During the episode, she also confirmed Craig’s statement about the split not being mutual and Paige breaking up with him. At the same time, the frequent WWHL guest claimed that her former boyfriend wanted to display himself as a “victim,” making everyone point at her.

Paige DeSorbo also believed that she and Craig received equal amounts of hate after their break-up, while she also endured misogyny.
