She though clarified for “Entertainment Tonight” in January 2022 that Conover “kind of kissed her” during that vacation.

The couple went on to attend the PGA Tour and their friends’ weddings together in August and September 2021, respectively, but did not show PDA.

Becomes public

Conover confirmed to People in October 2021 that he was in a relationship with DeSorbo, stating that it “all happened naturally.”

DeSorbo broke his silence the following month denied “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 because I haven’t taken a web-worthy picture.”

Looking ahead

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 finally move in together,” Conover told BravoTV.com in April 2022. “That’s definitely the direction we’re headed.”

Long distance problems

By June 2022, the couple’s long-distance romance seemed “working” but felt “harder and harder”.

Conover told E! News October that he envisioned them living in Charleston in the future — but acknowledged that it wasn’t (his) decision to make.

“We’ll see what Paige will do,” he said at the time. “I love it up here, but I think when we start moving in the more relaxed 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 are handling it very well,” DeSorbo told People in February 2023. “I really love my life the way it is.”

Two months later, she made headlines for crying about a possible move in a “Summer House” season 7 trailer.

“I wanted to change my whole life,” DeSorbo said in April 2023. “I don’t have any friends in Charleston. My whole career is in (New York).”

Hit the brakes

At the October 2022 BravoCon, Conover was ready to get engaged to DeSorbo “when (she was) ready to say ‘I do’.”

DeSorbo acknowledged in a May 2023 episode of “Summer House” that her hesitation to take the next step made Conover feel “uneasy”.

Regarding the businessman, he said, “I’ve realized we have more things 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.”

Cryptic comments

In November 2023, Conover was “in no rush” to get down on one knee, explain 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 in a “Summer House” episode the following month that it wouldn’t be “the end of the world” if they broke up, as he had become a “stable person with or without” her.

“If we train, we train. I hope we do,” Conover said in December 2023, while admitting it was “very likely” they wouldn’t.

The following year, DeSorbo hinted at their impending split in a tearful “Summer House” Season 9 trailer, predicting that “everything (she had) would disappear” if they ended things.

End of an era

DeSorbo revealed her and Conover’s breakup on a December 2024 episode of her and Hannah Berner’s “Giggly Squad” podcast.

“Nobody did anything. It wasn’t a bad thing,” she clarified. “I think we were both just really mature and said what we wanted and what we didn’t want. I think it’s extremely powerful to be able to express how you feel in real time and what you want for your future.”

The influencer called the split the “right decision” for himself and Conover.
