In the world of reality TV, relationships often play out under the harsh spotlight of the public eye, and Paige DeSorbo’s breakup with Craig Conover is no exception. After months of speculation, the Summer House star has finally shared her thoughts on the breakup, revealing the emotional journey she’s been on and what led to the end of their romance.
While fans had been rooting for the couple, who were often seen together on Southern Charm and Winter House, Paige’s candid reflection on their split provides new insight into what might have caused the relationship to crumble. And it’s clear from her recent comments that there’s more beneath the surface than what fans may have initially assumed.
Paige DeSorbo has been open about the difficulties she faced in the relationship, particularly the pressures that come with balancing her own career and independence with a high-profile romance. She has shared how the dynamics in her relationship with Craig, though filled with love, began to take a toll on her personal life.
“We had a lot of fun, but there were moments where I felt like I was just going through the motions,” Paige admitted in a recent podcast episode of the Giggly Squad. “It’s hard when you’re constantly expected to be a partner in every sense of the word, without having the space to be yourself.”
While Paige didn’t delve into specifics about the causes of the breakup, her words hint at the larger expectations that can often cause strain in a relationship. As many can relate, it can be tough when one partner feels as though they’re constantly balancing multiple roles—partner, caretaker, and professional—all while trying to maintain their individuality.
A TikTok video that Paige reposted recently seems to echo these frustrations. The video, which quickly went viral, reads:“Someone said: the real gold diggers are the men who expect you to give them your body, take care of them, clean the house, wash their clothes, give birth to their children, manage their emotions, AND on top of that go to work and contribute 50/50 to the expenses.”
Though Paige DeSorbo, 32, didn’t explicitly mention Craig in her repost, the video has sparked speculation that it may provide a glimpse into the pressures she was experiencing in her relationship. The sentiment expressed in the video touches on the idea that modern women often carry much of the emotional and physical labor in relationships, a burden that can feel overwhelming when not equally shared.

“I love Craig, and we had a great time together, but I think I was growing in a different direction,” Paige explained. “We were both in different places in our lives. I want to focus on my career, my friends, my mental health—and that’s really what I’m prioritizing right now.”
While Paige DeSorbo and Craig’s breakup was no doubt difficult, Paige seems to be taking it in stride. In her recent social media posts, she’s emphasized the importance of self-love, independence, and focusing on her career. As she continues to thrive in her personal life and professional endeavors, it’s clear that Paige is using this period of reflection as an opportunity to grow and heal.
“Right now, I’m just focusing on myself and what makes me happy,” she said. “I’m learning to prioritize my own needs and make sure I’m the best version of myself before I can give anything to anyone else.”
