Who did Paige DeSarbo date before Craig Conover? Dating history explored amid split

The famous reality TV couple Paige DeSarbo and Craig Conover have parted ways. DeSarbo shared the unexpected news on her podcast Giggly Squad which she co-hosts with Hannah Berner.

Announcing her break-up with Conover, Paige DeSarbo said,

"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. Like it's very weird. I wasn't expecting this. 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."

Talking about Craig, she also added,

"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 that our lives are going in…"

DeSarbo also cleared the air around her relationship with Conover being a PR stunt. She maintained that despite their reality TV history, the channel did not force the relationship. Paige DeSarbo further said,

"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, and I think that's like extremely powerful to be able to voice... like how you're feeling in real-time and what you want for your future."

For the unversed, DeSarbo and Conover started dating in 2021. The couple confirmed their relationship in late 2021 following the rumors of onscreen fling blossoming into an offscreen romance. Before Craig, the Summer House star dated Perry Rahbar for almost two years. Here's everything about Paige DeSarbo's dating history.

A look at Paige DeSarbo's dating history

Paige DeSarbo's relationship with Craig Conover was the talk of the town due to the former couple's onscreen chemistry. Besides Conover, Paige doesn't have a long dating history, apart from a couple of onscreen flings and a full-fledged relationship with Perry Rahbar.

Rahbar and DeSarbo dated one another between 2019 and 2020. She confirmed her break-up with Rahbar in October 2020 in an interview with People Magazine, where she was quoted saying,

"He's 10 years older than me, so much smarter, so much more accomplished, just more mature. And I never wanted to let him down. So I just felt like maybe this isn't our right time."

In 2018, DeSarbo joined the Summer House cast for Season 3 and was initially connected with co-star Carl Radke. Apart from an initial fling and a hook during the final part of Season 4, their relationship never took shape.

Similarly, Paige was also seen getting close to the Italian model Andrea Denver during the first season of the Summer House spin-off, Winter House. However, ultimately, the Giggly Squad co-host started dating her then co-star Craig Conover.

The former couple had first met during the Season 4 shoots of Summer House in 2019. Conover was reportedly dating his then-girlfriend Natalie Hegnauer. What commenced as a friendship eventually turned into a relationship in 2020 after the reality TV stars again appeared in Winter House Season 1.

The pair officially started dating in 2021 and went Instagram official in December. Reportedly, Conover also introduced Paige to his parents in 2023. However, the rumors about their split began earlier this year. Eventually, Paige DeSarbo shared the news with her audience.
