Of all the Peter Pans on Bravo’s certified frat fest Southern Charm, Craig Conover has actually had the most demure dating history. He was in a long-term relationship with Naomi that seemed like end game until she left his needle and thread in the dust. He eventually moved on to another serious relationship with Natalie Hegnauer which seemed normal except for the part where Natalie had previously dated his BFF Austen. If you put those alarming Tomi Lahren rumors aside (I, personally, will not, but you can!), Craig is a pretty unproblematic lover boy… which is why every time I hear whispers of his relationship with Summer House star Paige DeSorbo coming to an abrupt end, I find it a little hard to believe. I know Paige spends a lot of time on Summer House trying to convince the audience she’s ~an independent woman who don’t need no man~ she’s also a total relationship girl who has never shown anything other than seeming totally smitten in her now three-year relationship with Craig. Now, the streets are saying that things might have changed. Did Paige and Craig break up? Let’s discuss.

Paige DeSorbo And Craig Conovor Break Up Rumors

Do Paige and Craig break up on Summer House season 9?

Well, I can’t lie, the small snapshot of their relationship shown in the season 9 trailer doesn’t look great. During a sit-down, Ciara tells Paige it’s “weird to have a boyfriend giving hater energy.” I’m not 100% convinced she’s not talking about Kyle here, but the clip is presented as if they are talking about Paige and Craig. Later during a dinner, Paige quips as she has many times before that she’s not going to apologize for being “strong and independent” when Craig asks her to stop always putting work first. Shit does seem to get real when Paige and Ciara are back in bed together, crying about how “everything [Paige has] will, like, go away” if she and Craig end it. Uh oh… did these two seriously consider calling it quits this summer?

Are Paige and Craig still together?

Relax, Gigglers: Paige and Craig are by all accounts still together as of December 2024, despite the dramatics shown in the Summer House ninth season trailer. At Bravo Fan Fest in Miami, Amanda and Kyle quickly confirmed the breakup was just a rumor when Andy Cohen asked if the couple was secretly falling apart, but holding in the bad news for the sake of the show. Paige’s #1 bestie Ciara also doubled down that she’d be seeing the happy couple in just a few days at Paige’s annual Thanksgiving celebration at her parents’ house in Long Island.

Why do people think Paige and Craig broke up?

The most recent round of relationship rumors started after Craig surprised fans during season 8 of Summer House that of course there was a chance he and Paige could “not work out”. Paige had consistently teased the storyline that she didn’t want to be married (right now) and that she didn’t want to leave New York City (for the foreseeable future) in previous seasons. But Craig’s nonchalant admission to Kyle in episode 5 of the eighth season that a “probable” breakup between the two wouldn’t be “the end of the world” seemed surprising to the couple’s fans.

Over the summer, social media stalkers (AKA my people) found it odd Paige and Craig had been posting less together and that Paige hadn’t promoted Craig’s new Spritz venture on her account. But avid Giggly Squad stans spread the good word on Reddit that Paige had been consistently talking about her boyfriend on the pod.

Most recently, the Southern Charm season 10 trailer showed drama related to Paige and Craig, though the issue seems to be raging between Craig and his bros. The preview shows Paige (on yet another Charleston visit, FWIW) complaining that “Austen and Shep are foaming out [sic] the mouth” to say she is the source of tension in the friend group’s toxic dynamic.

Are Paige and Craig going to get engaged?

Paige and Craig have discussed future plans of marriage and children on Summer House season 8 and at BravoCon — just not while Paige is in her early 30s and they both are still focused on growing his business ventures. During the summer of 2023, a psychic predicted on camera that the couple would be engaged in 2024, which Paige seemed just as surprised as her friends to hear. Paige affirmed during an interview with People in the summer of 2024 that she was not going to let the “pressure” of others rush her and Craig to have a baby when she’s most excited about her career right now. She did affirm she sees her future with Craig, so much so that she would be open to filming a spinoff series solely about their relationship.
