Yahoo Lifestyle Craig Conover Confirms He and Paige DeSorbo Split Before the Holidays
I can only assume you've spent the past few weeks in a deep state of ennui over Paige DeSorbo announcing her split from Craig Conover. And now Craig is out here confirming the news.
On January 7, the Southern Charm star hopped on his Instagram Stories to say a few words about his breakup. (Psst: You can watch the full video here.) "I figured it's finally time to check in with everyone, sorry about the delay," Craig said in the clip. "This has all been very, very unexpected, to say the least."
He added that he's navigating his "new normal," and confirmed that he and Paige split ahead of the holidays. "I was very shocked and it's okay, it takes two people to be in a relationship. You can't control other people you can only control how you react to it."
Craig encouraged fans to treat his now-ex with respect and sent his good graces, saying, "I'm still processing everything, which is normal... I mean, a three-year relationship, it's your best friend who you talk to all day, every day, and then they're just gone. 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."
As a reminder, Paige confirmed news of the split on her Giggly Squad podcast (via Page Six) on December 30, saying “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.”
She also said, “I have so much love and respect for Craig. I think he is one of the best people I’ve met in my entire life. I will remain the biggest fan for 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 is the right decision for both of us.”
For what it's worth, Paige also shut down speculation that their breakup was for Summer House/Southern Charm ratings, saying, “The network has power, but they don’t have that much power. So, that was not a real thing. Rumors of us breaking up months ago again, also, not a real thing.”
