Craig Conover and Paige DeSorbo faced a rumor regarding their potentially impending split earlier this week as a blind item suggested that they’d been instructed to stay together for the sake of the upcoming seasons of their respective shows, Southern Charm and Summer House.
Just days after Paige, 32, opened up about her three-year relationship with Craig, 35, admitting that they’re in no rush to get married or have children, the report claimed that their commitment to one another is publicity-based.
“This reality star couple has been told to stay together until the new seasons of their [shows start] filming so the fallout can be shared with the world,” the report, shared by Enty Lawyer on Instagram, alleged.
But after sharing the rumor and confirming it was written about Craig and Paige, Bravo and Cocktails on Instagram denied there was any truth to the report.
“This is not true. I would just ignore it but you guys keep asking,” they wrote. “Paige [and] Craig are fine I hear.”
Weeks ago, while speaking to Page Six, Craig addressed the fact that he and Paige have homes in different states while denying the idea that they were truly a “long-distance” couple.
“I think a lot of people, when they hear long-distance, they think that it means that we don’t see each other a lot. But, Paige and I basically live together, and we just live in two different places,” he noted. “She does say that she sees me more than she saw some boyfriends that lived in New York City because of the commute [across boroughs.]”
“One day, we want to get married and have a family, and we’re just in a unique spot that we’ve embraced, like, ‘We’re two very career-driven people,’” he added.
One month prior, Craig told E! News that his drive to succeed in business was due to his hopes for his future family.
“I’m very family oriented as in I wanna have a good foundation so that, when the kids come, I can be with them as much as possible. Your priorities shift a little bit,” he explained. “I’m still trying to figure out life, but I will say that it’s fun to have my hand in a lot of different arenas.”
Southern Charm season 10 premieres on Thursday, December 5, at 9/8c on Bravo, and Summer House season nine is expected to begin airing sometime in early 2025, also on Bravo.
