Andy Cohen looked back at Craig Conover and Paige DeSorbo’s relationship more than a week after their breakup was announced.
On January 6, the Bravo host ended his first “Watch What Happens Live” episode of the New Year with a tribute to the longtime couple that noted that fans would have “one less Bravo couple to adore” in 2025.
“Southern Charm” star Conover and “Summer House” star DeSorbo dated for more than three years and had talked about marriage. But on the December 30, 2024, episode of her “Giggly Squad” podcast, DeSorbo broke the breakup news to fans. “Craig and I have decided to no longer be together,” she said. “I think we both were just being really mature and saying what we want and what we didn’t want. … I think it is the right decision for both of us.”
Andy Cohen Ended WWHL With a Look Back at Paige & Craig’s Romance
On the January 6, 2025, episode of “Watch What Happens Live,” Cohen addressed the camera to say, “Since our last show, not only has 2024 come to an end, so has the three-year relationship between Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover.”
He continued with a reference to Conover’s pillow company and the recent “Southern Charm” season 10 scene in which he froze his sperm for the future. “Grab a decorative pillow to cry into as we look back at some special moments that, much like Craig’s sperm sample, are now frozen in time,” Cohen said.
Past scenes of the former couple then aired. In a clip shot before they were an item, DeSorbo told Conover that it would take someone to really “blow [her] away” in order for her to want to date. Photos of the two on dates then flashed onscreen as Conover hinted that he blew her away.
In another scene shot for “Summer House,” the two talked about moving in together. And in another clip, Conover offhandedly asked a giggling DeSorbo if she would marry him.
The final video was from Conover’s December 12 appearance on “Watch What Happens Live,” where DeSorbo was noticeably missing from the studio audience. “I am happy representing the couple that we are now. Just like dating a strong, independent career-driven woman,” Conover told Cohen just weeks before the split.
The video montage ended with a shot of the former couple kissing in an elevator as an “in memoriam” style goodbye flashed with the dates October 2021- December 2024 listed.
“Oh my God, not an ‘in memoriam’,” Cohen laughed before saying, “Chemistry they had! I wish them both the best.”
The caption to the montage posted on Instagram read, “We are entering 2025 with one less Bravo couple to adore… #CraigandPaige #WWHL.”

On his first radio show of 2025, Cohen said he was “sad” to learn of the Bravo breakup. Cohen noted that both Conover and DeSorbo were experiencing “an incredible amount of success” in their careers—he as a business owner in multiple states and she as a podcast star who just finished a cross-country tour.
“I mean listen, we still don’t totally know, or have a reason [for the breakup],” Cohen added. “So more to come on that. But I was very sad about that. Everybody loved them.”
“Who’s the first couple of Bravo now?” he then asked. “They were really the first couple of Bravo. Everyone was rooting for them. I think it’s an open position.”
