"Craig and I have decided to no longer be together," an emotional DeSorbo told her "Giggly Squad" podcast listeners the same day.

“In terms of people saying rumors like, ‘Oh, Paige was told to wait until Southern Charm came out’ or like ‘Summer House came out’ — no one can tell me what to do,” DeSorbo said. “Like, the network has power, but they don’t have that much power. So, that was not a real thing. Rumors of us breaking up months ago again, also, not a real thing.”

Southern Charm star Craig Conover has finally spoken out about his breakup from fellow Bravolebrity Paige DeSorbo, revealing to fans that the breakup came as a “shock” for him as well. Conover opened up about the breakup in a video shared on Instagram Stories Tuesday – but also took a moment to remind fans to “be kind” to the Summer House star.
