Paige DeSorbo says she did "damage control" for Craig Conover
On the Summer House After Show, Paige DeSorbo opened up about how she feels about her relationship with Craig Conover now that she's three months past their breakup. When she first announced on her podcast just before the end of 2024 that the two of them had split, she framed it as though the two of them had just wanted different things in life and that they were still as close as ever.
While the fact that they were clearly looking for different things in their relationship has beem made obvious on the latest season of Southern Charm and Summer House, it seems like their breakup might have been deeper than the Giggly Squad host had originally claimed.
On the episode of the After Show, she opened up about their breakup and said, "I think I loved him so much that I tolerated too much. And now that I'm out of it and look back at things, I'm like 'Oh, wait…'"
According to the Summer House star, some of what she chose to look past while they were together included Craig Conover's habit of making everything about himself and downplaying her success.
Much of the strain on their relationship throughout the latest seasons of their respective shows seems like it comes from Craig Conover not valuing Paige DeSorbo's career ambitions, so this is likely not surprising to anyone following their breakup.
"Any time that I had a career milestone, he found a way to make it about him. Or any time I had something for me like my friend's wedding or a family wedding, he would make it about him. And make me have a bad time," Paige DeSorbo shared and continued to say that it was "embarrassing" to have these issues arise over and over throughout their relationship.
She went on to say, "It was just embarrassing. So, that's something that I look back on now and I'm like, 'Oh wow, I was really blinded.' I had to do a lot of damage control."
She also opened up about having mental health issues because of stress from work, which Craig Conover would turn against her and use as further proof that she was working too much. The tension from Craig's belief that Paige needed to slow down in her career and his habit of not cheering her successes on lead Paige to avoid telling him about things she was proud of, Paige DeSorbo revealed on the Summer House After Show.
Ciara Miller backs up Paige DeSorbo's breakup claims
On the Summer House After Show, Paige DeSorbo's best friends and co-stars Ciara Miller and Amanda Batula backed up Paige DeSorbo's claims about her relationship problems and didn't hold back when it came to taking shots against Craig Conover.
According to Ciara Miller, Paige DeSorbo is wrong to think that she didn't do enough in her relationship with Craig Conover and instead believes that her friend put their relationship above everything else. She said, "She's constantly just like having to be a mother to this man. It's like, enough is enough."
