⁠"What a fun story" Southern Charm's Paige DeSorbo debunks ex Craig Conover's reunion claims 

Summer House and Southern Charm star Paige DeSorbo made an appearance on Wednesday's edition of "Watch What Happens Live." She methodically refuted allegations made by her ex-boyfriend Craig Conover during the Southern Charm reunion.The Bravo universe witnessed some post-breakup drama as DeSorbo didn't mince words when host Andy Cohen asked if she wanted to "counter or clear up" anything her ex-boyfriend had said.

"[I disagreed with] all of it," she quipped with characteristic sass.

Explaining:

"I loved listening to it because I was like, 'What a fun story.'"

After meeting on Winter House in 2019, the couple started dating in 2021 and ended their relationship in November 2024. Conflicting accounts of the events leading up to their parting have surfaced since then, with DeSorbo now openly disputing Conover's claims of a reconciliation. The fashion enthusiast and podcast host came prepared to set the record straight on everything from wedding plans to their breakup dynamics.

Southern Charm’s Paige DeSorbo addresses wedding and cheating rumors

One of the most eyebrow-raising claims addressed was Southern Charm's Conover's assertion that DeSorbo had "considered marrying him at BravoCon." When Cohen, specifically questioned her about this, DeSorbo's response was pure sass:

"Andy. Andy. Do I look like the kind of person that has the phrase 'convention center' in her wedding invitation?" she retorted with a pointed look that spoke volumes.

The 32-year-old fashionista's deadpan delivery emphasized how preposterous she found the notion, effectively shutting down Conover's claim.

DeSorbo didn't dispute Conover's statement that their November breakup "was not a mutual decision"—but her interpretation differed significantly from his. She believed his framing was strategic.

"I felt like he was saying that because he wanted [to be] the victim, wanted people to be like, 'She did it. She caused this,'" DeSorbo explained.

She also endorsed her "Summer House" co-star Kyle Cooke's characterization of Conover as a "liar," enthusiastically noting that the Loverboy founder "nailed it" with that assessment.

DeSorbo addressed the social media speculation about infidelity that circulated after their split. While she didn't need Conover to "defend" her against these rumors, she expressed disappointment that he chose to "lean into" the speculation rather than shut it down.

When asked about Conover's new relationship with model Natalie Buffett, DeSorbo displayed remarkable grace.

"I love it, I'm so happy for him," she said.

Paige DeSorbo reveals she’s dating people

Paige DeSorbo is single, dating, and fully enjoying the perks of post-breakup freedom, though she’s not locking anything down just yet. She’s keeping things light, having fun, and half-joking that her next boyfriend should definitely be Italian and ideally, the funny one for a change.

Despite the public back-and-forth following her split from Craig Conover, DeSorbo made it clear her relationship with him on Southern Charm was the real deal. She was genuinely in it, hoping for a future together and navigating some very real emotions, all while cameras were rolling.

"I loved him. I wanted to marry him. That was real," she confessed.

As Southern Charm viewers will see this summer, she was processing the heartbreak in real time, no script necessary.

For the skeptics questioning whether she strung Craig along? She’s not having it. According to her, there was no game-playing involved; it was just honest-to-goodness feelings and a tough breakup. Meanwhile, Conover's team hasn't weighed in yet.
