Reality TV stars Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover have revealed their decision to split.
The Southern Charm and Summer House stars have broken up after three years together.
DeSorbo opened up on the newest episode of her Giggly Squad podcast, sharing with listeners that she and Conover “have decided to no longer be together.”
“It’s weird, it’s very weird. I wasn’t expecting this,” she told podcast co-host Hannah Berner.

“Obviously, when we first started dating, you don’t think, ‘Oh, what will happen? Will we get married, will we not?’ You’re just kind of, like, in this relationship.”
One of Bravo’s most beloved couples, the pair met during the first season of Winter House in 2021.

DeSorbo didn’t reveal the cause of the breakup but confessed there wasn’t a major fallout.
“Not to sound traditional and old fashioned, this is not a situation where I have, like, a 50-part series of ‘Who the f–k was I dating?'” she said.
“Could not be more opposite of that. I have so much love and respect for Craig. I think he is one of the best people I have ever met in my entire life.
“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. But with that said, I think it was just the right decision for both of us moving forward in our lives and the direction in our lives that we didn’t force.”
“I love him, I think he loves me. I think we will remain friends. No one did anything. It wasn’t a bad thing.
“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.”
“He’s definitely the best boyfriend I’ve ever had, like, I can truly say that,” DeSorbo said.

“He was a great boyfriend, and he did everything correct, and he never made me feel insecure or anything like that, so it almost is harder when no one’s done anything to be mad about, and that’s hard.”
Conover, 35, is yet to comment on the breakup, though DeSorbo explained the couple had undergone their own transformations.
“As you get older, I mean, I started dating Craig when I was 29 and I’m 32 now,” she said.

“And your 30s, for women, I feel like are very transformative. And you change a lot and you grow a lot. Him as well.”
“It’s a very sad thing,” DeSorbo continued, becoming emotional.
“I know I said I would never cry on the internet but like, it’s OK if I cry on the pod. I feel like that’s OK.”
The details of when the pair split were kept private, though DeSorbo said the premieres of their respective Bravo shows did not contribute to their decision.
“In terms of people saying rumours like, ‘Oh, Paige was told to wait until Southern Charm came out’ or like ‘Summer House came out’ — no one can tell me what to do,” she said.
“Like, the network has power, but they don’t have that much power. So, that was not a real thing. Rumours of us breaking up months ago again, also, not a real thing.”
