Lindsay Hubbard and Kyle Cooke are calling out Craig Conover.
The “Summer House” cast members expressed doubt that the “Southern Charm” star bought an engagement ring for his ex Paige DeSorbo, as he has claimed.
The topic came up when a “Watch What Happens Live” viewer asked the pair whether they “believe Craig was telling the truth” about the alleged sparkler he bought — then returned after DeSorbo dumped him.
“You had me at, ‘Do you believe Craig was telling the truth?’ Because the answer is ‘no’,” Cooke, 42, quipped as Hubbard, 38, laughed.
The entrepreneur added, “You can’t go a year without showing the ring to anybody. I know all of his friends — no one has seen the ring. Do the math.”
Hubbard agreed that “there’s no way” Conover, 36, did not “show somebody a picture at some point.”

Host Andy Cohen chimed in to say that the lawyer told him in March that “he had returned the ring that day.”
Hubbard interrupted to call this “convenient.”
She explained, “Listen, if you bought a ring for somebody, you took a million pictures.”
She pointed out that Cooke “saw pictures” of the ring her ex-fiancé, Carl Radke, purchased for her prior to his 2022 proposal.
“Also, Paige has very specific style so you’re getting input,” Cooke noted. “If you don’t get it direct, you ask one of her friends, you ask her mom. You don’t just go on a whim.”
Hubbard concluded, “Long story short, this guy never bought a ring. And if he did, we want the receipts, the proof, the timeline.”
Conover first mentioned the supposed ring in a February “Southern Charm” trailer, one month after his and DeSorbo’s split made headlines.
“She asked me to buy a ring, and I did,” he said at the time.
The following month, the Sewing Down South creator spoke to Cohen, 56, about returning the jewelry that morning.
“I just don’t need custody of it anymore so I took it back to the guy,” Conover claimed.
He and DeSorbo met in 2019 and began dating two years later.
The “Giggly Squad” podcast co-host announced on a December 2024 episode that she and Conover had called it quits — and the breakup quickly became contentious.
DeSorbo most recently said during Wednesday’s “Summer House” finale that her ex is “dead to” her after he refused to shut down rampant chatter about her cheating on him — which she has denied.
