Southern Charm's Craig Conover Addresses Paige DeSorbo Split Rumors Just Weeks Before Their Breakup

[@OToole2.0]

Craig is hands down my favorite. Like he said anyone who tries to sabotage your sobriety is not a friend AND "friends" that try to tear a person down only succeed at putting the spotlight on their own very flawed characters.

[@tube1063]

Been sober going on twenty years, I lost a lot of weight”friends”. It’s growth

[@ldingram7250]

Craig, you have grown. No need to apologize to anyone for your growth. Continue to evolve in your life.

[@anitajames4230]

I love that you let Craig speak without interrupting

[@lynnbendy]

Whitney, Austen and Shep spent years lecturing Craig to get his life together. Then, he did. Now, they think he's boring for being sober and add another attack that he's just the frontman of his business. And? He had a vision and assembled a team to make that vision a reality. Now, he just has to find the right woman who wants the same things he does.

[@yvonnepingleton5063]

Craig didn't assemble a team. The people who run that pillow business brought him in for his popularity. All he had to do is show up. And because people get so enamored with certain people, a cash cow fell into his lap. I watched Craig yell at women, be lazy, and lie for years on Southern Charm. As far as Shep, the dude is a pompous intitled smuck that has good moments. Imo..

[@lynnbendy]

@@yvonnepingleton5063 I must have missed the show where the pillow people came.

[@Homesncooking]

FYI. I was in advertising for years and I cant tell you how MANY business owners are the FRONTMEN FOR THEIR BUSINESS…. That is a ridiculous statement from Shep as his job is painted as having “mailbox money”….. Dont judge a frontman… that means he has a Front!!!

[@Samantha-xr4mx]

All the boys are jealous of him. He's gorgeous and charming and honest not to mention successful businessman. Austin would still be borrowing money from mummy for his deadbeat ideas if Craig didn't include him on his business ventures!

[@ElizabethMiller-in5dm]

I know right, people need to go back and watch from day one. He just lucked out, other people (due to his bravo fame) make him money! He was such a nightmare for poor Naomi!​@yvonnepingleton5063

[@minx2528]

Shep and Austin are both fixated in their peter-pan phase, while Craig has moved on into Adulthood!

[@PamR-g4m]

Craig we love you and have seen you grow up .what a well adjusted person and you deserve someone that really love you I didn’t see it in page❤

[@joannegrieco8523]

Shep's Always been super jealous of Craig and anyone who actually works for a living and is successful!!!

[@LadyDi0514]

I think Shep has always been especially competitive and jealous of Craig because Craig is so good looking.

[@robertaprince180]

Shep is a loser!!!

[@bernicenewman2917]

Yessss, remember the show when they bidded on them for a date. Shep lost his mind when Craig got that big bid from the singer that performed on that shit. So JEALOUS.

[@dawno620]

I absolutely love how Craig is showing others to how to succeed in life. He needs a Sewing Down South show. BTW the pillows are the best quality ever. The textiles and designs are amazing. When that SDS box came I loved the presentation

[@ireneleedy1723]

Glad you’re doing so well with your business Craig. You’re a nice guy and deserve the best.

[@ange8110]

His actually a very rude person. And talk down to people. others have called him OUT!!!!!

[@melissam.5890]

When you stop drinking your life has to change. You can't keep hanging out with the people and in the places you used to be sick, and, your friends don't want you around because your not drinking makes them feel bad about themselves. But in the end you feel the strongest and most resolute in the solitude

[@MK-nd2iu]

Solitude is priceless

[@Samantha-xr4mx]

Craig needs his own show!!

[@bernicenewman2917]

Yessss

[@sandysouthward3635]

I love Craig way more than Paige. It will be wonderful to see both of them find their forever after.❤

[@joannegrieco8523]

I'm so mad at Paige for leading Craig on! I hope he finds someone who loves,adores and supports him in everything he does and wants marriage and children soon!!!

[@meeksochic]

What a pick me comment and it’s sexist, misogynistic and gatekeeping another woman’s success and body! 🤮

[@joannegrieco8523]

@danv8717 WTF are u talking about? I'm a married woman and I still know and understand leading someone on! Paige claimed she needed another year Twice! She said a ton of times she'd move to Charleston, she helped decorate his home in the ways she liked! There's nothing decisive about telling the truth that Paige led him on! Maybe she didn't mean to but she did! In the PC world of 2025 a Man who wants a commitment, marriage and children and openly said so since they Started dating and She claimed she wanted the same but needed more time making him hold on for literally years just so she could back out is the definition of leading him on! Not about sex so it's not an R word thing for you to be so ridiculously Outraged by! About starting a family which was what they were supposed to be working towards and two years of waiting just to get engaged in a long time and shows His patience and willingness to do what made her comfortable but she never gave an inch! That's called selfish even in 2025!

[@gerardguida7727]

Shep is a Creep.....stay away from him....he's no friend .....

[@Ncogneeeedo]

Shep needs to get sober.

[@MichelleObara-ue2zs]

One of the most challenging and difficult things is getting rid of the “playpen”. We feel like we loose friends…but after a period of time…you realize they actually were not friends. They just go on to party with someone else (or by themselves). You have great insight! I have watched you grow and learn from mistakes…I really think you will find a wonderful partner (if you choose to do so)….and continue to thrive. Best of luck…

[@sherryspotts8335]

So very proud of you 👏 😊you're why my 4 daughters, Shannon Whitney, Megan, Emily,and I, watch. They gifted me a cameo of you for my birthday 🎂 Wish you all the best!!!!Don't look back your not going that way. God Bless ❤

[@karleet]

The women who are hating on Paige need to go touch grass. WE don’t know these people!! She may be a horrible person, but Craig may be also!! Take the show and this interview for what it is and stop bashing Paige…that’s actually the message Craig’s tries to get across also.

[@Rissyrassruss]

I love that Craig is his own person. He is not weak and influenced by children. Love you, Craig!!!

[@1521bbiez]

Craig can't seem to win with Shep and Austen, they kicked him while he was trying to figure it out, now they are trying to kick him when he's successful! They seem like haters. Shep and Austen want to be players forever and Craig wants a family.

[@fishfooood]

We lose friends when we stop drinking every weekend. They must not be true friends.

[@joannegrieco8523]

Whitney, J.T., Venita, Leva and Patricia gotta go! They do not belong on Southern Charm! Whitney's producing is fine without him on camera being a rude creep! They NEED to bring back Katherine Dennis! If she's still having addiction problems maybe the guys can help her , either way she Made this show and she's a huge part that's missing! These random newbies do not fill the void! Most of us understand her Rich ex baby daddy paid off the judge to get full custody and bleed Katherine dry! He's the one with a coca problem and SA issues but money talks and it's the old boys club down there!

[@fishfooood]

👏👏👏👏

[@denisekinzle1672]

Pat saying she could still do handstands & cart wheels cracked me up. I had a spinal accident like her & am younger than her at 71 & certainly wouldn't say such a thing. I like her but that was a huge lie

[@Leslie27275]

I only disagree about Patricia. Love her

[@bmaybe9708]

I love Venita on the show. I find her interesting and would love to see her get more camera time.

[@minimalist2036]

No Kathryn. Being on tv did her no favors, it caused her more harm than good 😢

[@joannegrieco8523]

I love Craig's conspiracy theories too!

[@judymurray191]

He’s the only one I excuse for conspiracy theories! He says it with the biggest smile almost tongue in cheek in the most charming way.

[@michanstra922]

100%​@@judymurray191

[@pattimikeska807]

I don’t know if it’s mentors, therapy, introspection or a combination, but Craig‘s insights are so mature and filled with wisdom. I appreciate him sharing and allowing others to see what mature transformation looks like. What a terrific role model for men his age it’s nice to see that on reality TV.

[@slappygoober6544]

Paige values her independence and avoids commitment. She lead Craig on with no intention of ever marrying him. Craig wanted a family, and they were never compatible. He won’t have a problem finding a wife that appreciates and loves him. This is the best thing to happen to Craig, he just doesn’t know it yet.

[@consciousanfesiashapsnikof8688]

Craig realizes that the drunk fun guy at the bar wasn't a happy man inside. Thank God, Craig realizes that being an adult means becoming full circle as an adult.

[@Samantha-xr4mx]

All the boys are jealous of him. He's gorgeous and charming and honest not to mention successful businessman. Austin would still be borrowing money from mummy to fund his crap business ventures if Craid didnt bring him onboard his.

[@karleet]

@@Samantha-xr4mx I think honest as an attribute is a stretch based on all the lies and falsehoods he’s told via the show.

[@Syrupsssss]

SALLEY Leaving her dog in a tiny crate all night, long and then going to work and leaving the dog in the tiny crate all night long is animal abuse!!!!!! She is a monster

[@joannegrieco8523]

Craig tell shannon beador that tamra no longer enabling her is Exactly what a person that loves and cares about you should do!

[@kd-co3sj]

Craig you are better off all the way around. Keep growing. What a great future you have. ❤️

[@marileorube24]

Heres something crazy. If you go back and rewatch the 1st o 2nd season of SC. The cast talks to a medium and she says shep has and will have problems with alcohol. She looked at craig and said to not worry that he will be successful. Boy was she dead on.

[@denisekinzle1672]

I wasnt happy with Pats lack luster attitude about him not being there for dinner Proud of you Craig!

[@sherryspotts8335]

For everything, there is a season ❣️

[@Rissyrassruss]

Craig is a real man because he has grown up. He is a mature and evolved person. A total catch!!

[@lallal3675]

Happy New Year, Sharon! 🎉 First-time listener. Great interview with Craig! I subscribed and look forward to exploring your channel.

[@MadddyDawn]

Way to go Sharon! Awesome job. And sometimes we outgrow parts of our lives that no longer serve us. How long ago was this since he’s speaking like he is still with Paige?

[@ExclusivelyPod]

Thanks! I put it in the description but I talked to him Dec 6!

[@anitajames4230]

TEAM CRAIG 🎉❤❤😊

[@cathymartinez6804]

Let's all move on from the Paige affair, l do not blame her or him the writing what we seen was on the wall, Craig will move on with his life and eventually find his other half, he is on the right track, making a lot of money he has goals which is great, as far as Shep and Austin they act like two little boys who want to play all the time,well play time is fine but time to grow up and become responsible men . Luv the show, drop the mic.😊

[@judymurray191]

Craig was always a good friend to Katherine but she already has 2 kids. He has always had a soft spot for her, but that ship has sailed, sadly.

[@fishfooood]

No one is shocked they broke up. I think the craig fans saw him getting his heart broken and now excited to see him fall for the one.

[@carolcerceo1609]

Craig! Married with a child on the way in the next 18 months! ❤🎉🙏

[@fishfooood]

@carolcerceo1609 i mean crazier things have happened

[@EvaMontoya-b6c]

I love Craig, but Paige is definitely not the best person for him. I feel that she is not 100% in to building this into a life time commitment.

[@lauralesniak6635]

I have been watching Craig since the beginning !!What a journey !Your the best on your show!!Ty for your great inspirational words!!

[@kristinekerr3688]

Great interview😊

[@KathyPagano-e9z]

Craig is the good looking level grown up. Shep is a do nothing loser.

[@Ncogneeeedo]

This is before they broke up?

[@judymurray191]

I think it was.

[@joannegrieco8523]

Paige is an idiot! She led Craig on for years! She kept saying she was gonna move down to Charleston and even decorated the house! She knew he wanted marriage and children and she kept saying she wanted the same soon just not yet! Craig I hope you find someone who wants what you want,love's and adores you for exactly who you are including any flaws! Also! If you're not an alcoholic the fans do not care if you drink sometimes. If it's a problem then I support your sobriety! I suggest meetings and a sponsor if that's what's needed and it is if you're an alcoholic!

[@ameliaschenk]

If we are honest no one is shocked they broke up, Paige was not ready for marriage and she was never leaving NYC. She sure used that relationship to launch her brand. Honest I’m not a fan of Paige

[@denisekinzle1672]

She is beautiful . Kids aren't for everyone Craig will have no problem getting another Craig needs his own show. I want to visit this city & see the sites. I also think C s house is cool! I bet Naomi wishes she still had C

[@debbielimuti160]

Agree with you!! Paige was not a nice person!!

[@maryr2993]

Craig you are so right and the others don’t want to grow up.

[@coachjbusone]

Reality was Paige was beneath him … Paige is an image not real and that catches up with you over time …she’s an upstate NY girl and feels like ashamed of her background never mentions it . Good move for Craig to be split

[@KS-hi8vi]

Not obsessed with Paige especially with Craig. Let’s not act like their relationship isn’t what they ALWAYS talk about. I think if they didn’t discuss when they would get married & move to NY or Charleston on every Season people wouldn’t expect it. It’s kinda gaslighting to blame the audience for something they make a storyline about every Season. Shocked he didn’t talk about his new Bar.

[@BriBerg-y9j]

To me it never seemed like Paige was that into Craig. I think it’s for the best. He deserves his happily ever after.

[@IleneSands-hv3jn]

Craig has always been my favorite in Southern Charm. But please don't let your relationship not working out with Paige cause you to drink more! You are an extremely sensitive person and a good person so continue to live yourself by protecting yourself, your health and your spirit. And before you know it Love, true Love is coming to come your way. But please don't beat up on yourself about Paige while moving on from the drink because your relationship will only be with the drink and not with the best of yourself or with the person that God sends you!!! 💖

[@MM-lu2zk]

Shep is just a horrible person.

[@Leslie27275]

He’s a drunk.

[@denisekinzle1672]

Followed show from beginning.The other guys can kick rocks.

[@mariestroman5352]

You have grown up don't apologize .. your friend s haven't don't worry about them

[@tube1063]

He needs someone who needs and wants a family. He will be a great dad!

[@tuxedocat118]

We love you Craig. We need a Craig wedding, children, and Craig so happy.

[@Leslie27275]

Any chance with Nathalie ?

[@lydiabeard1643]

Stay Sober and grow in your business!

[@deborahrussell5534]

I am so happy for Craig,he is successful and I give him all the credit. I don't care for Paige and I think she had nothing to do with his success. In fact I think he will be better off without her in his life. He will thrive without her. He deserves the best and I personally don't think it's Paige. Good for you Craig and I wish you all the best. God Bless You and your Family and Friends.

[@karencruz320]

The jealousy is real Shep 😮

[@judithhorvath887]

I disagree,I like Craig a good deal. I have felt less favorably about Paige. I am glad that Craig and Paige are no longer together. I feel that Craig is ready to get married and potentially start a family with his wife. At 36 years old, he has matured into an adult male. I feel that Shep will never grow up, and he is too selfish to put a partner's need above his own. Having children requires that you put your child's needs above your own desires. I am glad that Craig is distancing himself from Shep. It is terrible that Shep tried to get Craig thrown out of Bravocon. Shep felt like he was the leader and a friend and mentor to CRaig. However, he often was not a very good friend to SHep and seemed to undermine Craig many times. Craig has in many ways outgrown Shep. Austin is another guy who seems to have difficulty grwing up and becoming an adult capable of being there emotionally for a partner. He really seems too immature and still selfish, putting his partying ahead of a relationship. Shep ad he both drink too much alcohol. AT their ages it is really negative. Of course, Shep is much older than Austin.

[@judymurray191]

Shep will settle down when he no longer has single buddies to bar hop with.

[@robertaprince180]

Shep went and named his beautiful dog Little Craig!! I do believe it was a slight against Craig . The doggie is wonderful, Shep needs a kick in the behind once a day! Lol. Craig is the best person ever

[@Rissyrassruss]

Some people are only to be in your life for a season and some forever. As you grow, you find out who has your best interest in mind and those who don't you leave behind.

That’s what I was wondering, Craigs a liar he lied about passing the Bar and other things he’s been lying about. JT never call her names.

Craig gives women hope that there are still good men out there. Naomi definitely regrets her decision as Paige will too.

He’s great. Always saw it in him.

[@bernicenewman2917]

Spread out Craig to different parts of the USA . IA do come to Charleston and i have bee to your store. But you could really go places branching out. We all love you. Even in San Antonio Texas. 😊😊😊

[@bernicenewman2917]

I do come to Charleston.

[@ameliaschenk]

Craig has outgrown Southern Charm. I love he got his life together, he needs to move on. Sorry but we love drama and he’s a little boring for reality tv now

[@IncognitoGypsy]

Craig, no one is perfect, and you’re doing just fine in the eyes of public opinion. Shep has become the T Rav of the show. Older, desperate, and if he could shake his foot any faster during his major anxiety conversations, it may just fly off.

[@loriduffecy9205]

If Austen drinks so much why did u go into business with him? I think u lik to brag about urself n you brag about Paige too. I like Austen n Shep. So far I this season no one has been drinking that bad that I have seen. Plus u lied on JT n no one is calling u out for that yet😮. I don't like JT but I don't like a liar either. Paige never intended on marrying u. She was with u for money n camera exposure. U need to be a little humble. When u talk u sound snotty n self-centered to me. Just my opinion

Girl you are making a big mistake. Don’t choose career over love. You’ll end up lonely & wanting him back, but he’s been down that road before and he’s not coming back. It is going to be easy for him to find someone else. It won’t be for you.
