When DeSorbo sparked relationship rumors with Conover after a trip to Charleston, SC, in April 2021, she assured “Not Skinny But Not Fat” listeners that she was “not dating” her former co-star.
She, however, clarified to “Entertainment Tonight” in January 2022 that Conover “kind of kissed her” during that vacation.
The pair went on to attend the PGA Tour and their friends’ wedding together in August and September 2021, respectively, but did not show PDA.

Conover confirmed to People in October 2021 that he was in a relationship with DeSorbo, gushing that it “all happened naturally.”
DeSorbo broke her silence the following month while denying to “Call Her Daddy” listeners that the romance was a “PR stunt.”
In the November 2021 episode, she noted, “The only reason I haven’t posted him [on Instagram] is I haven’t taken a grid-worthy pic.”

DeSorbo posted a “grid-worthy pic” the following month of Conover kissing her forehead at a holiday party.
“Sew in love,” she wrote, with the December 2021 caption referencing the businessman’s Sewing Down South company.

In March 2022, Conover told Page Six that he and his girlfriend were already “about marriage and spending [their] lives together,” including “kids and a family.”
DeSorbo spent that summer out of her New York City apartment and temporarily living in South Carolina with her partner.
“We’re excited to move in together eventually,” Conover told BravoTV.com in April 2022. “That’s definitely the direction we’re headed.”

By June 2022, the couple’s long-distance romance was “working” but feeling “harder and harder.”
Conover told E! News that October that he envisioned them living in Charleston in the future — but acknowledged it was “not [his] decision” to make.
“We’ll see what Paige wants to do,” he said at the time. “I love it up here, but I think as we start to move in that more settled-down direction, it will be further south.”

“Long distance is definitely not an easy thing to do, but I will say, I think Craig and I handle it very well,” DeSorbo told People in February 2023. “I really do love my life the way it is.”
Two months later, she made headlines for crying over a possible move in a “Summer House” Season 7 trailer.
“I would be changing my whole life,” DeSorbo said in April 2023. “I have no friends in Charleston. My whole career is in [New York].”

By October 2022 BravoCon, Conover was ready to get engaged to DeSorbo “whenever [she was] ready to say ‘yes.’”
DeSorbo acknowledged in a May 2023 “Summer House” episode that her hesitancy to take that next step made Conover feel “insecure.”
As for the businessman, he said, “I have realized that we have more stuff to work out than we thought.”
DeSorbo defended her decision not to settle down while speaking to The Post, saying the public would understand “if the roles were reversed and Craig, as a 30-year-old man, said he wanted to focus on his career and wait to get married.”

By November 2023, Conover wasn’t “rushing” to get down on one knee, explaining to People that their relationship had “a more sustainable flow of this is what works for us and let’s just enjoy it.”
He told DeSorbo on a “Summer House” episode the following month that it would not be “the end of the world” if they broke up as he had become a “stable person with or without” her.
“If we work out, we work out. I hope we do,” Conover said in December 2023, while admitting it was “very probable” they would not.
The following year, DeSorbo hinted at their looming split in a tearful trailer for Season 9 of “Summer House,” predicting that “everything [she had would] go away” if they ended things.

DeSorbo revealed her and Conover’s breakup on a December 2024 episode of her and Hannah Berner’s “Giggly Squad” podcast.
“No one did anything. It wasn’t a bad thing,” she clarified. “I think we both were just being really mature and saying what we want and what we didn’t want. 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.”
The influencer called the split the “right decision” for herself and Conover.
