Andy Cohen is weighing in on Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover’s recent split announcement.
Bravo’s The Daily Dish Instagram account shared DeSorbo and Conover’s breakup news in a Monday, December 30 social media post. Cohen, 56, took to the comments section with a subtle reaction, leaving a series of crying face emojis.
DeSorbo, 32, confirmed on the Monday, December 30, episode of her “Giggly Squad” podcast that she and Conover, 35, went their separate ways after three years of dating. (Conover shut down breakup rumors earlier this month.)
“Craig and I have decided to no longer be together,” the Summer House star shared. “I have so much love and respect for Craig. I think he is one of the best people I’ve 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.”

Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover went from friends to lovers to exes. The Southern Charm star and the Summer House personality crossed paths while starring on their respective Bravo shows. “I met Craig, actually, three years ago and he was single. I had a boyfriend, and I absolutely respected that I was in a relationship,” […]
DeSorbo added, “I think it was just the right decision for both of us, like, moving forward in our lives and the direction that our lives are going in that we didn’t foresee or, like, whatever. It’s a very sad thing.”
The former couple became friends while filming Winter House season 1 in February 2021. By May of that year, things turned romantic. Throughout their three years together, DeSorbo and Conover were asked multiple occasions if they were planning on moving in together instead of doing long distance — and they never did. (DeSorbo is based in New York City while Conover lives in Charleston.)

“I love him, I think he loves me. I think we will remain friends. No one did anything. It wasn’t a bad thing,” DeSorbo added during Monday’s 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.”
DeSorbo also addressed rumors that she waited to announce her split from Conover because of Bravo.
“Just to say this — not that I even have to — but in terms of people saying, ‘Oh, Paige was told to wait until Southern Charm came out or Summer House came out.’ No one can tell me what to do,” she said. “The network has power, but they don’t have that much power. That is not a real thing. Rumors of us breaking up months ago was also not a real thing.”
