Paige DeSorbo Reveals Off-Camera Conversation With “Hater” Craig Conover Before Breakup

Watch: ‘Southern Charm’s’ Craig Conover Grilled About Paige DeSorbo in Reunion Trailer

Paige DeSorbo has had enough.

During the March 26 episode of Summer House, she was finally at the end of her rope with then-boyfriend Craig Conover and vented to BFF Ciara Miller about his neediness.

“Craig and I went to dinner Thursday night and he started being like, ‘I come to you 90 percent of the time and we never even talked about it,'” Paige—who was about to embark on her three-month long Giggly Squad podcast tour—recounted. “‘Now, you’re going on tour. I just want to make sure our relationship is still a priority.’”

The story prompted an immediate eye roll from Ciara, who weighed in with, “Basically like, ‘What about me?’ Like, ‘Woe is me.’”

Paige continued, “Then I had to talk to Amanda [Batula] and tell her all of it and she was like, ‘Do you feel like he’s not supportive?’ And I go, ‘Well, I feel like he gets his feelings hurt if I’m shining.’”

Ciara cryptically replied with, “I’m not gonna tell you again…”

Paige then revealed the Southern Charm star purposely didn’t share his insecurities over her busy work schedule and booming career while the Bravo cameras were around.

“And when we got home, he goes, ‘Well, obviously on camera I’m not gonna say you’re way busier than me and your s–t is bigger,'” the 32-year-old shared. “I go, ‘Why?’ He goes, ‘That would be negative.’ I go, ‘For you! Why couldn’t you have said that? That is what’s happening. That validates my s–t.’ I’m like, ‘Am I dating a secret hater?’ So, that made me feel so f–king weird.”

Ciara’s response?

“I’m sorry, but if your mother heard that,” the Traitors alum noted before Paige finished her sentence with, “She’d f–king kill me.”

In a confessional, Ciara continued to trash Craig, who Paige broke up with in November 2024 after three years of dating.

“That is a f–king hater-ass boyfriend,” Ciara said. “Paige shouldn’t have to pay for your lack of self-confidence and your lack of self-esteem. Honestly, this is all him, and I’ve had this conversation multiple times with Paige. Somehow, some way, it does end up becoming the Craig show.”

Amid online speculation that the couple had broken up, Craig shut down the breakup rumors.

“I don’t know where that came from, because we’re together, like, every week,” he told E! News in December 2024. “So, no, Paige and I are not broken up. We’re still together.”

Following months of split speculation, Paige announced over the 2024 holidays that she and Craig had officially split after three years of dating.

“No one did anything. It wasn’t a bad thing,” Paige said during her Dec. 30 Giggly Squad podcast episode. “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.”

The influencer also shot down rumors of cheating between her and the Southern Charm star and insisted the parting of ways was amicable.

“I think he is one of the best people I’ve met in my entire life,” Paige continued. “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.”

Over a week after the breakup news went public, Craig shared his side of the story.

“This has all been very, very unexpected, to say the least,” Craig said in a video shared to Instagram Jan. 7. “I was very shocked and it’s ok, it takes two people to be in a relationship. You can’t control other people you can only control how you react to it.”

That said, Craig also wants everyone to extend grace to his now-ex.

“I’m still processing everything, which is normal, I mean, three-year relationship, it’s your best friend who you talk to all day, every day and then they’re just gone,” he noted. “So one day I’ll be able to talk more on it but right now I just wanted to thank everyone for their kind messages.”
