With Paige DeSorbo announcing that she and her Southern Charm beau had gone their separate ways in the final days of 2024, it puts the new season of Craig Conover's show in a new light.
Although fans obviously knew that their breakup would be building up in the current season of Southern Charm, actually seeing how they got there has fans questioning whether or not the two of them were actually the Bravo power couple that people saw them as while they were together. So, were Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover ever really that good together?
Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover always wanted different things
The biggest reason for Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover's breakup is that the two of them were looking for completely different things in their lives and neither of them was willing to compromise with the other. And while compromise can be important in a relationship, sacrificing the city that you've put down roots and a business in to move to where your partner lives isn't a sacrifice that many people are willing to make, which meant that it was tough for Craig Conover and Paige DeSorbo to see themselves together longterm.
Despite the hurdles present in their relationship, it was obvious that Craig Conover wanted to take the next step in their relationship and make things a lot more serious. Considering the fact that the two of them were still long distance, it seems like an odd move for Craig to be pushing making things more serious, but it was obviously important to him to talk about getting married and having kids someday with Paige DeSorbo.
The clash in their ideals for the future was put on full display during the February 6 episode of Southern Charm. While Craig Conover was talking about his idea to get chickens, goats, bees, and generally to turn his home into a farm someday, it was obvious that this idea was so far out of the realm of what Paige DeSorbo wanted that it almost makes viewers question what the two of them had in common to date in the first place.
Because fans already know their breakup is looming on the horizon, it was no surprise to fans that Paige vented to Craig during the latest episode of Southern Charm about the fact that he's so much more ready than her to settle down with his farm and kids, saying that he makes her feel so much older than she actually is.
Despite the fact that, of course, fans know where their relationship is headed, it was still interesting to see the road that lead to their breakup and get a new look at the fact that the two of them were never a particularly good match to begin with.
Has Paige DeSorbo been shading Craig Conover on social media?
Along with the fact that fans are watching the road to their breakup now on Southern Charm, they're also getting to see the aftermath of it in real time. While Paige DeSorbo has seemingly moved on from Craig Conover and was recently spotted out with Joe D'Amelio, she's also been raising eyebrows with some of her social media activity.
Along with liking a post on Instagram about Southern Charm being in its "flop era," Paige DeSorbo liked a tweet that seemingly directly related to her relationship. "I'm so bummed to be single. How will I ever find another guy who brings absolutely nothing to the table?" the second post fans spotted Paige liking reads.
Whether those are actually direct shade to her ex or not, they definitely got fans talking. And seeing the very obvious rift in their relationship playing out on Southern Charm this season makes it hard to deny that their breakup was a long time coming, so if there's more bitterness between them than Paige DeSorbo originally wanted to admit, it would make sense.
