Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover’s rival, post-breakup publicity tours continue and, as usual, our latest installment comes courtesy of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.
On the April 23 episode of WWHL, DeSorbo got the opportunity to respond to what Conover said on WWHL on February 6. Specifically, does DeSorbo agree that the breakup was, as Conover said, “not mutual.”
“Obviously, yeah, it wasn’t. I broke up with him,” DeSorbo said. But, there’s a “but.” DeSorbo thinks Conover only said that because he wanted to claim victim status for himself. “He wanted people to be like, ‘She did it. She caused this.’ And so I was like, ‘Okay,’” she told Andy Cohen.
But that’s not the only Conover comment (Cono-ment?) DeSorbo got to respond to. Cohen also asked her if there was anything her ex-boyfriend said during the Southern Charm reunion that she would like to address. “I loved listening to it because I was like, what a fun story,” she deadpanned. More specifically, no, she never considered marrying Conover at Bravo-con.
On Conover’s new relationship with Natalie Buffet: “I love it, I’m so happy for him.” On him saying he didn’t need to defend her from cheating rumors online: “I feel like exes don’t owe each other anything, but we’re in a different situation. I didn’t need him to defend me but I needed him not to lean into it.” And on Kyle Cook’s characterization of Conover as a liar: “I think Kyle nailed it.”
In December 2024, Paige DeSorbo revealed on her Giggly Squad podcast that she and Craig Conover had ended their relationship after three years together. And, to be honest, her description of the breakup at that time sounded a lot more amicable than it’s been sounding lately. “I love him, I think he loves me. I think we will remain friends,” she said at the time. “No one did anything. It wasn’t a bad thing. I think we both were just being really mature and saying what we want and what we didn’t want, and I think that’s extremely powerful to be able to voice how you’re feeling in real time and what you want for your future.”
