Is it just me, or does the cosmos have a weird sense of humor? Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover—yes, the Southern Charm duo who once seemed inseparable—called it quits late last year. Under the chilly shadow of post-Thanksgiving vibes, their breakup snuck past fans like a stealthy Mercury retrograde messing with the narrative. But hold onto your zodiac charts, because Paige isn’t just quietly moving on; she’s spilling the tea on the real timeline behind their conscious uncoupling—and trust me, she’s throwing some serious shade while debunking all those pesky cheating rumors.
With Venus gliding through unpredictable Aquarius this February, maybe it’s no surprise Paige’s social media activity left fans scratching their heads: was she aiming a sly jab at Craig or just having a laugh? Either way, the whole saga feels like a cosmic lesson in how star-crossed couples navigate love under the reality TV spotlight. So if you’ve ever wondered how a breakup plays out when the planets (and the public) are watching—and how someone claims their single status without drama—this one’s for you.

Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover broke up late last year.
While it wasn’t your typical Southern Charm shocker, Paige and Craig’s split took many fans by surprise.
According to Paige, there’s a reason for that.
While debunking breakup theories and seemingly shading her ex, she’s laying out the real timeline of her conscious uncoupling from Craig.
On January 22, a meme account posted a tongue-in-cheek celebration of singledom.
“I’m so bummed to be single,” the post began sarcastically. “How will I ever find another guy who brings absolutely nothing to the table.”
Now, Paige DeSorbo does not run the account, which seems to primarily repurpose decade-old social media posts without attribution. But she certainly hit like on that particular post, and Bravo fans took notice.

However, across social media, Southern Charm fans seemed divided over whether Paige DeSorbo was shading Craig Conover or simply enjoying a post.
Some insisted that she was straight-up calling out Craig as having brought “nothing” to their erstwhile romance.
Meanwhile, others pointed out that people “like” things on meme accounts all of the time. Unless someone’s spam-liking something awful or specific … it doesn’t have to be about Paige’s most recent ex.
It is only natural for the general public to speculate when a reality TV couple seems to abruptly split without explanation. When Paige announced the breakup on December 30 of 2024, it came as a shock.
But on the Monday, February 3 episode of Paige’s Giggly Squad podcast, she clarified that she did not cheat on Craig.
Not physically or even emotionally.
Paige also expressed her frustration that she’s having to address the rumors. Craig, she says, should be quashing these claims.
Additionally, Paige laid out the details of her breakup with Craig.
The former couple split up over Thanksgiving weekend of last year.
However, they did not initially go public. Craig even allowed people to believe that they were still a couple while he promoted Southern Charm, and Paige says that she was fine with that.
However, Paige shared the breakup news on December 30.
The reason, she explained, was that Craig had begun “presenting himself as single.” At that point, she reasoned, it was time to go public — but she sent her ex a text in advance.
There have been rumors — without confirmation — that Paige is dating someone new after Craig.
However, during her podcast episode, Paige confirmed that she is currently single.
Good for her. Even a regular breakup can be difficult.
Splitting after a long-term, long-distance romance that aired on reality television?
Paige deserves time for herself. So does Craig, for that matter.
