Paige DeSorbo’s newest Summer House confessions about her relationship with Craig Conover make it clear that their split was only a matter of time.
“The more I think this, the more anxious I get,” Paige, 32, told Ciara Miller during the Wednesday, April 9, episode of the Bravo series, referring to the issues she faced with Craig, 36, last summer. “In true, like, Paige and Craig fashion, I was like, ‘Dude, I feel like you’re not supportive.’”
Ciara, 29, instantly had Paige’s back, saying, “I don’t want him stealing the shine from your tour.” (Throughout season 9 of Summer House, which filmed in 2024, Paige and Craig butted heads over her alleged lack of interest for their relationship as she prepared to go on a “Giggly Squad” podcast tour that fall. They called it quits before the holidays.)
Ciara confessed that Craig gives “hater boyfriend energy” when he “refuses to acknowledge” Paige’s successes. The model asked, “Why should you dim your light just to make him feel comfortable?”
Ciara Miller Says Paige Did ‘Work’ on Craig: He’s Not ‘The Ultimate Peach’
Paige noted that she thinks Craig’s ideal scenario would be for her to “work less” so she could focus more on him.
When Ciara asked point blank if Paige would “ever want to live in Charleston,” Paige didn’t hesitate with her answer. “No. I’ve told him multiple times,” she said. “I was like, ‘I don’t want to have children in Charleston. I don’t want to raise them in Charleston.’ He was like, ‘That’s fine, we’ll do it in New York.’ Like, OK. But then as it gets closer, and more real, he’s like, ‘I don’t know.’”
Paige, who lives in New York, explained that it would be hard for her to uproot her life to move to Craig’s city in South Carolina. “I’m the breadwinner, so why the f*** would you not move to me?” Paige quipped. “That would just be stupid, logistically.”
Summer House’s Paige Calls Potential Craig Engagement ‘F—king Scary’
The fashion correspondent claimed to Ciara that she’s told Craig “so many times” that he can end their relationship “if this is not what you want.”
“You’re putting it on him,” Ciara said, calling out Paige for seemingly avoiding her own feelings about the situation. “It’s so much easier to give the other person the out than to really dig deep and determine if that’s really what you want. Sorry.”
Paige took in Ciara’s words and then confessed, “I love Craig. When I think about me and Craig breaking up, I get upset. I’m like, ‘No. I don’t want him with anyone else. I don’t want to be with anyone else.’ So, I get conflicted.”
She wondered why she doesn’t “compromise on certain s***” if she feels sad over the thought of losing Craig, admitting, “I feel like I’m being gaslit into things that I need to compromise on.”
“I don’t want you to keep going deeper and further into this if, one it’s not truly what you want, or two, it’s not compatible with how you even see your future,” Ciara responded. “I feel like it’s going to be a lifelong tussle.”
Paige, who appeared visibly upset, acknowledged that “it’s just a lot.” When Ciara asked, “Do you feel like he’s still your person?” she seemed unsure.
After a long pause, Paige replied, “I don’t know.”

Less than four months later, Paige broke up with Craig after spending Thanksgiving with her family. She announced their split in December 2024 after three years of dating.
During the season 10 finale of Southern Charm, which aired last month, Craig claimed that Paige told him, “I need to find myself,” and wanted to “take control of my life again.” Us Weekly confirmed last month that Craig is dating Natalie Buffett following his split from Paige.
Summer House airs on Bravo Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET.
