Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover, stars of Bravo's reality television, have announced their breakup after three years of dating. The news was shared during the December 30 episode of Paige's podcast, 'Giggly Squad', where she opened up about the split. "Craig and I have decided to no longer be together," she told co-host Hannah Berner, expressing her shock over the sudden nature of the announcement.
The couple first crossed paths during season 1 of 'Winter House' but only began dating publicly about three years ago. Paige reflected on their relationship during the podcast, sharing the deep bond they formed through their shared experiences on and off-screen.
While their breakup may come as surprising to fans, DeSorbo emphasized the amicable nature of their decision. "No one did anything. It wasn't like a bad thing," she insisted, reitering the clarity and mutual respect she and Craig maintained. "I think we both were just being really mature and saying what we want and what we didn't want," she explained.
Paige expressed immense respect and love for Conover, stating, "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." These sentiments highlighted the warmth and support she continues to have for her ex-boyfriend, indicating they would likely remain friends.
The emotional aspect of their breakup was palpable as DeSorbo described it as "a very sad thing," admitting she found herself sentimental during the podcast episode. It's poignant to see how their relationship evolved, with Paige explaining her transformation during the past few years. "I started dating Craig when I was 29 and I'm 32 now," she noted, acknowledging the personal growth she experienced alongside Conover.
Although some rumors circulated about the timing of their breakup coinciding with the premieres of their respective Bravo shows, Paige set the record straight. "Just to say this — not...that I even have to — but no one can tell me what to do. The network has power, but they don’t have much power. That is not a real thing," she clarified, ensuring fans know their decision was independent and mutual.
Throughout their relationship, Paige described Conover as "the best boyfriend I've ever had," which speaks volumes about their bond. She complimented him on being supportive and nurturing, helping her develop confidence and maturity.
Conover has not yet publicly commented on the breakup, but the love and respect Paige expressed suggest their parting was handled with care. According to her reflections, they've both undergone significant personal changes and growth, making their decision to split perhaps the most mature choice.
Both having established their television careers with Bravo, the couple garnered considerable fans who lament their breakup. Their connection, rooted deep within their shared experiences, marked them as one of the network's beloved couples.
Ending their relationship might be heartbreaking for fans, but Paige's take on the situation provides clarity. It wasn't filled with drama or public fallout, instead emphasizing all the good things about their time together. Such mature insights remind everyone about the importance of mutual respect and open communication.
While rumors began before the official announcement, it’s clear their relationship had many positive aspects. The couple managed to clear the air and highlight the circumstances surrounding their decision, reminding fans of the authenticity often present within their relationship story.
