Discover how differing life plans and the timing of priorities led to a breakup between Craig Conover and Paige DeSorbo.
Were their timelines ever in sync?
Craig Conover and Paige DeSorbo were on completely different schedules when it came to building their future together.
Craig, the Southern Charm star, made it clear he was ready to settle down and start a family right away, while Paige from Summer House had other dreams.
She wasn’t willing to uproot her New York City life for Charleston, S.C., and she preferred to wait a few years before diving into parenthood.
Could love overcome their differences?
The couple, who had been together for three years, broke up in November as their priorities just were not matching up.
In a revealing moment on the Feb. 26 episode of Summer House, while shopping for maternity clothes with her pregnant housemate Lindsay Hubbard, Paige got candid about her time with Craig.
Amid the conversation, she brought up Craig’s decision to freeze his sperm, comparing it to her own choice of freezing her eggs as she planned ahead for creating a family.
Did planning for the future add pressure?
Paige recalled telling Craig, “I should probably freeze my eggs,” and he cheekily replied, “Oh should I freeze my sperm?”
Although Craig got his sperm tested and everything came back “perfectly fine,” it was clear that his eagerness to settle down clashed with Paige’s long-held career goals.
Paige explained, “Craig’s been ready for a family and for me to move into his home since I think the day he texted me, but I have worked for this exact moment in my career for over 10 years.”
Was the breakup really unexpected?
Craig later mentioned on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen that he was planning a move to New York when Paige decided over Thanksgiving weekend to end the relationship.
He reflected on their carefully planned future and said she simply fell out of love because he wasn’t the perfect match for her at that moment.
On the Tamron Hall Show, he also clarified that he hadn’t been texting multiple women—a claim Paige had made during their relationship.
For Craig, life goes on, and he encouraged Paige to find the person who truly fits her plans.
How did other housemates handle the drama?
Later in the Feb. 26 episode of Summer House, the conversation took another twist when Danielle Olivera stopped by for Lindsay’s gender reveal.
Lindsay recounted how she had announced her pregnancy on the first night with all the housemates, minus her ex-fiancé Carl Radke.
Danielle couldn’t help but comment on the surreal scene—a mix of past relationships under one roof with the backdrop of impending parenthood.
In a light-hearted moment, amidst a flurry of relationship updates and sponsored post jokes, it was clear that everyone was riding their own rollercoaster of surprises.
