Paige DeSorbo, a fixture on Bravo’s “Summer House,” confirmed her split from “Southern Charm” star Craig Conover during an episode of Giggly Squad — a podcast she shares with former castmate Hannah Berner.

The reason for the break up, according to DeSorbo, stemmed from the duo being in two different places in life. There were also questions from fans and friends alike regarding a potential move to Charleston (where Conover lived), getting married and having children.

“It’s really just two people growing and changing and things they want in their lives changing,” DeSorbo said during the Dec. 30 episode of Giggly Squad.

She later explains the internal struggles of entering her 30s, which were coupled with outsiders’ opinions on certain milestones.

“I feel like I’ve been very vocal on the [podcast] about how I hated turning 30… I really had a problem with it,” DeSorbo said. “I think one of the things I get most insecure about is I am 32… the rhetoric online directed at me is, ‘You’re 32. Shouldn’t you pack it in and get married? Like, you’re not a kid anymore.’”

DeSorbo has a positive outlook on her life, noting that she’s never felt more herself than in the past year of her life. The Bravo star loved throwing herself into work despite the stresses that came with it.

Speaking directly to those who told her to “pack it in,” she explains how one can change the course of their life at the ripe age of 32, and not settle down for marriage and kids because one feels they have to. 

A source close to the situation told US Weekly that Conover was ready for the next steps with plans to propose in the near future. Despite the long distance relationship, Conover expressed confidence in the couple’s future during his October interview with US Weekly.

“We’re going to get married one day,” he told the publication. “But she’s a really career-driven persona and she’s doing great. And I’ve got the business that’s kinda of flying right now, so we’re making the best of ourselves before coming together as a team officially.”

Conover hasn’t commented publicly about the breakup.
