Paige DeSorbo Makes a Surprising Revelation on Breaking Up With Craig Conover in Early 2024
When
Craig Conover
first publicly reacted to the news of his breakup with
Paige DeSorbo
at the beginning of January 2025,
he called her decision to end their three-year-long relationship “very, very unexpected,”
— something that
Andy Cohen
now finds “interesting,” as he put it on Part 1 of Season 9’s
Summer House
reunion.
The
Watch What Happens Live
host, more specifically, told Paige, ”
It was interesting to me, because in talking to him, he did express several times how surprised he was by the breakup.”
“But then then watching the show, you seemed headed in that direction strongly during the summer,” Andy continued. “I guess I’m curious, how much of what you shared with us who watched the show, did you share with him?”
Paige’s response? ”
I mean, Craig and I have had this conversation for
a year
.”
That’s not all she revealed, though.

When did Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover actually break up?
Paige and Craig broke up in November 2024, and she announced the split on December 30.
At the
Summer House
Season 9 reunion, Paige shed new light on the timing of her announcement. As she explained,
“I told him that I was going to put a statement out on my podcast when I realized he was, like, on vacation being single. I was like, ‘Okay, well I can’t hide this anymore from people.'”
Andy asked for clarification about Craig’s apparent vacation behavior, and Paige responded, “R
ight when Christmas happened, he then went on a vacation to Aspen. So, he was out at bars, there were girls around, people had pictures, they were on the internet. And I was like, I’m not going to respond to that. I’d rather be the one to say, ‘We broke up. He’s fine to be out right now and be doing his thing.’”
