When Paige DeSorbo confirmed her breakup with Southern Charm’s Craig Conover at the end of 2024, the speculation started immediately as to what happened to the Bravo couple of three years. That speculation included rumors about Paige’s personal life — and if she cheated on Craig — even as she insisted she was single. Then, when Craig appeared on Feb. 6’s Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, he didn’t put an end to the rumors.
Now, Paige’s Summer House castmates are sharing their disapproval with his move.
“I think that was messed up,” Lindsay Hubbard said on May 21’s WWHL. “I mean, even after Carl [Radke] and I broke up, I defended him early on being like, ‘There’s no way this guy would have cheated on me.’ So, he could have at least said something.”
“He fueled the fire,” Kyle Cooke added. “He knew what he was doing when he did his little cavalier Instagram story. Because he knew it’d get picked up. He purposely left all that out of it.”
What did Craig Conover say about the rumors that Paige DeSorbo cheated on him?
When asked about the cheating rumors in February, Craig said, “I think it’s fair for me to say it’s none of my business what she does anymore, you know? I wasn’t a part of any of the rumors; I haven’t said a word. You know, my favorite person in the universe became a lesson all of a sudden, and how I’ve been grieving I think is good. I haven’t said a word.”
Paige DeSorbo’s response to rumors she cheated on Craig Conover
Paige addressed the speculation that she cheated on Craig during a February episode of her and Hannah Berner’s podcast, Giggly Squad.
“I’m saying this here and now, and then I’m never saying it again. OK? I never in the three years that I dated my ex-boyfriend, ever physically cheated on him, emotionally cheated on him — can you mentally cheat on him? I don’t know, but I didn’t,” she said.
Elsewhere, Paige also denied the specific rumor that she had cheated on Craig with Saturday Night Live actor Marcello Hernandez.
“I don’t care about any rumor that is, like, ever said about me…The only thing that I was like, ‘OK, can’t, like, let this go by’ was because it was a third party involved, was people saying that I cheated on Craig with Marcello. When I first saw that, I died laughing,” she explained on a different episode of Giggly Squad. “I felt weird. I was like, ‘I feel like I have to text Marcello cause like what if he sees it? What if he has a girlfriend?'”
“I just texted him,” Paige continued. “I was like, ‘Hey, just want to let you know, there was a rumor going around that I cheated on my boyfriend with you.'”
Marcello’s response? A lighthearted “f-ck yeah.”
