Paige DeSorbo Reacts to Craig Conover’s New Romance

NEW YORK, N.Y. — Paige DeSorbo expressed her feelings about ex-boyfriend Craig Conover dating Natalie Buffett during an episode of Us Weekly Shorts on April 23. The 32-year-old reality star stated, “I love it, I’m so happy for him.”

DeSorbo and Conover began their relationship in the summer of 2021 while filming the first season of Winter House. The couple maintained a long-distance relationship for three years while living in separate states, with DeSorbo in New York City and Conover in South Carolina, until their split in November 2024.

Since breaking up, the former couple has been involved in public disputes, including accusations of infidelity, which both have denied. According to a source for Us Weekly, DeSorbo is unfazed by Conover’s new relationship, as she is focused on her own life.

During a conversation with host Andy Cohen, DeSorbo was asked whether Conover supported her claims of fidelity during their relationship. Conover declined to engage in the discussion, stating, “I’m the ex-boyfriend, moving on with my life. I’m not going to get sucked into the mud with them.” He added, “Like, I never said you cheated, so I’m not a part of this.”

DeSorbo clarified that she didn’t require Conover’s defense but expressed disappointment that he didn’t distance himself from the gossip. When asked about comments from Summer House co-star Kyle Cooke, who called Conover a liar, she agreed and stated, “I think Kyle nailed it.” Cooke had previously criticized Conover for his investment in a cocktail company without informing him, which fueled tensions between them.

Their relationship captured the attention of Bravo fans for three years, and DeSorbo emphasized the authenticity of her feelings for Conover. “I loved him, I wanted to marry him,” she said, expressing her desire to avoid any misunderstandings about her intentions.

Despite the ups and downs, reality television captured their tumultuous romance and the pressures surrounding it. After their breakup, Conover stated that DeSorbo initiated the split during Thanksgiving, allowing her time for self-discovery.

As Conover moves forward with Buffett, he expressed happiness about his new relationship. He remarked during an episode of Watch What Happens Live that he had thought everything was fine just weeks before their breakup, making the split more surprising.
