Paige DeSorbo Reacts to Ex Craig Conover’s New Relationship
Paige DeSorbo's friendships with the Southern Charm cast have definitely gone south since her breakup from Craig Conover.
In fact, the Summer House star revealed she had some major falling outs with her ex-boyfriend castmates following their split last year, particularly with Madison LeCroy.
“I was really sad about that, because I loved Madison,” Paige told host Andy Cohen during an April 23 Watch What Happens Live appearance. “Like, I really thought we were close.”
Paige explained that their relationship started to take a turn even before she broke up with Craig in November after three years of dating.
"A couple months prior to the breakup, I had heard through people that she was saying some not-so-nice stuff about me," the Giggly Squad podcast cohost continued. "So, when the breakup happened, she texted me in the middle of January, but it was more about the attention it was getting. It wasn't really a check-in. I was like, 'I don't need to give anyone tea right now.'"
However, soon after, Paige noted "it was very obvious she was very team my ex."
"I was like, 'It’s best to just leave it,'" the 32-year-old reflected. "That’s [his] friend. But I do like her. I thought we were friends, but I don’t know.”
Paige also revealed she hasn't heard from Craig's longtime BFF Austen Kroll since their messy split.

"Of all the boys down there, I always felt closest to Austen," the reality star shared. "We always had the same humor."
But these days, Paige has so moved on from the drama. In fact, she had a surprisingly positive take on Craig's new romance.

Following months of split speculation, Paige announced over the 2024 holidays that she and Craig had officially split after three years of dating.
“No one did anything. It wasn’t a bad thing,” Paige said during her Dec. 30 Giggly Squad podcast episode. “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 influencer also shot down rumors of cheating between her and the Southern Charm star and insisted the parting of ways was amicable.
“I think he is one of the best people I’ve met in my entire life,” Paige continued. “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.”

Craig Conover Addresses the Split
Over a week after the breakup news went public, Craig shared his side of the story.
"This has all been very, very unexpected, to say the least," Craig said in a video shared to Instagram Jan. 7. "I was very shocked and it's ok, it takes two people to be in a relationship. You can't control other people you can only control how you react to it."
That said, Craig also wants everyone to extend grace to his now-ex.
"I'm still processing everything, which is normal, I mean, three-year relationship, it's your best friend who you talk to all day, every day and then they're just gone," he noted. "So one day I'll be able to talk more on it but right now I just wanted to thank everyone for their kind messages."
