Watch : Craig Conover Details Paige DeSorbo's "Confusing" Behavior That Led to Breakup
Fans are about to get a front row seat to witness what exactly led to Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover's breakup.
One month after the Giggly Squad podcast cohost announced she ended her relationship with the O.G. Southern Charm castmember following three years of dating, her Summer House costars are shedding light on the problems they saw between the exes while filming season nine of the Bravo reality series.
"I would say surprised, but not shocked," Amanda Batula exclusively told E! News of the split. "You want your friends to be happy and you want their relationships to go in the direction of marriage and for everything to work out. So, it was sad. But Paige makes decisions that are only for the best with both parties."
Amanda's husband Kyle Cooke admitted he was shocked when Paige hinted at a potential breakup in the recently released Summer House trailer.
"When I saw that trailerâthis is like mid-DecemberâI was like, 'Come on, she's just being dramatic,'" the Loverboy founder told E!. "So, there's definitely some surprise, but there were some red flags over the summer when you look back."

As for what those red flags were?
"I don't know how much we'll see," Kyle continued, "but I think it takes a lot for Paige to air concerns. She keeps things bottled up until it's finally at that point where it bubbles over."
Plus, the 42-year-old noted, "There was one moment that she and I had where she was talking about some of the challenges that they were facing. Literally in the three years they were dating, this is the first time I've ever heard of a speedbump, which is interesting."

Paige and Craig had both been open about how they tried to make their long-distance relationship work prior to their split, since she remained in New York City while he lived in Charleston, South Carolina throughout their romance.
And while Paige credited a "very transformative" year as the cause for their breakup in her Dec. 30 announcement, Craig recently hinted he was possibly blindsided by the "very unexpected" breakup.
However, Amanda teased, "I think that everyone will learn more after watching the season. You guys will definitely have more of an insider view as to what went down."Â
Regardless, Amanda knows her BFF will bounce back.
"I love single Paige and I love relationship Paige," she shared with a laugh. "They're two different people and I love them both equally."

Amid online speculation that the couple had broken up, Craig shut down the breakup rumors.

Following months of split speculation, Paige announced over the 2024 holidays that she and Craig had officially split after three years of dating.
âNo one did anything. It wasnât a bad thing,â Paige said during her Dec. 30 Giggly Squad podcast episode. âI think we both were just being really mature and saying what we want and what we didnât want, and I think thatâs extremely powerful to be able to voice how youâre feeling in real time and what you want for your future.â
The influencer also shot down rumors of cheating between her and the Southern Charm star and insisted the parting of ways was amicable.
âI think he is one of the best people Iâve met in my entire life,â Paige continued. âI will remain the biggest fan of him and want the best for him, and he truly will get the best because he is the best.â

Craig Conover Addresses the Split
Over a week after the breakup news went public, Craig shared his side of the story.
"This has all been very, very unexpected, to say the least," Craig said in a video shared to Instagram Jan. 7. "I was very shocked and it's ok, it takes two people to be in a relationship. You can't control other people you can only control how you react to it."
That said, Craig also wants everyone to extend grace to his now-ex.
"I'm still processing everything, which is normal, I mean, three-year relationship, it's your best friend who you talk to all day, every day and then they're just gone," he noted. "So one day I'll be able to talk more on it but right now I just wanted to thank everyone for their kind messages."
