Paige DeSorbo has allegedly ‘moved on’ with a new romance one month after it was confirmed she had split from Craig Conover after three years together.
Austen Kroll – who stars alongside Conover in the Bravo series Southern Charm – made an appearance on Watch What Happens Live on Thursday and opened up about the topic to host Andy Cohen.
In December, DeSorbo revealed that she and Craig had gone their separate ways – and recently sparked rumors that she was dating someone now when she was spotted with a mystery man during a Philadelphia Eagles game earlier this month.
A viewer questioned Kroll about the speculation that Paige, 32, was dating a new man to which he replied with, ‘I don’t think that those are rumors. I think that they’ve been substantiated.’
Austen then expressed that Craig ‘knows as such. You know, he didn’t know for a minute, but yeah. I think that he’s fully come to terms with that. That’s not a rumor.’
Cohen was seemingly surprised by the alleged revelation, and simply said in response, ‘Wow, okay.’

During the episode, Kroll also shared that he wasn’t shocked over the news of Paige and Craig’s split, explaining, ‘the writing was on the wall.’
‘I knew something was amiss for a month or so before I heard the news. I mean, she definitely was the dominate person in the relationship. That’s a nice way of saying it.’
Not long after Austen made his comments on WWHL, DeSorbo herself responded to his claims on social media.
On an Instagram video of the interview shared by Bravo’s WWHL account, she typed out, ‘Ahhh yes a man I haven’t spoken To in 6 months knows exactly what I’m doing.’
Last month during an episode of her Giggly Squad podcast, Paige had announced that she had split from Conover.
‘Craig and I have decided to no longer be together,’ the Southern Charm star said, and emotionally added that it was ‘weird’ to discuss the breakup publicly.
However, the reality star expressed, ‘I love him. I think he loves me. I think we will remain friends. No one did anything. It wasn’t a bad thing.’
Of the separation, DeSorbo shared, ‘I think we both were just being really mature and saying what we want and what we didn’t want. And I think that’s extremely powerful to be able to voice how you’re feeling in real time and what you want for your future.’

Paige opted to not explain what had caused the pair to go their separate ways, but shared positive words about her ex.
‘He’s definitely the best boyfriend I’ve ever had. Like, I can truly say that. He was a great boyfriend.’

‘And he did everything correct, and he never made me feel insecure or anything like that, so it almost is harder when no one’s done anything to be mad about, and that’s hard.’
Craig later broke his silence on the breakup with an Instagram video and expressed, ‘This has all been very, very unexpected to say the least. But I guess life has to, I gotta start living again, whatever that looks like. Whatever my new normal looks like, I have to start.’
‘Graтιтude will get you through this, with time comes clarity, all of the advice, I’m trying to listen to. But yeah. Right before the holidays, I was very shocked.’
The TV personality added, ‘And it’s okay. It takes two people to be in a relationship, and you can’t control other people, you can only control how you react to it.’
‘So, remember to be kind to Paige and me and yourselves and all of that good stuff. I’m still processing everything, which is normal, I mean, three year relationship, it’s your best friend who you talk to all day, everyday and then they’re just gone…’
He later concluded with, ‘But I guess now to practice what I preach and believe it and truly have faith in God that everything happens for a reason. But I love you all and I’ll see everyone on my travels this January, we’ve got a lot coming up.’
Fans have since theorized that Conover had been dumped by Paige before the holidays after he shared the clip.

Earlier this month, DeSorbo was spotted cozying up to a mystery man in a box suite as they attended the Philadelphia Eagles vs Green Bay Packers football game.
She later jumped to her Instagram stories to share a selfie to show off her ensemble which comprised of an Eagles jacket by Off Season.
A fan account called Bravo by Gays soon shared a snap of Paige in bed while looking at her phone. The caption read: ‘Paige watching you all go crazy because she went to a football game with a friend.’
In the comment section, DeSorbo replied to the post by typing out, ‘Ima be outside a lot get used to it.’
Late last month in December – weeks before Paige confirmed their breakup – Craig had revealed that both he and DeSorbo had plans to tie the knot.
He also insisted that he would have proposed to his now-ex but expressed that ‘she changes her mind a lot.’
During an episode of Southern Charm earlier this month, the star opened up to Shep Rose after a fishing trip.
‘If it was up to me, we would just be engaged, but she changes her mind a lot about stuff.’

‘One day she’ll text me and say, “Let’s build a f***ing farmhouse in the middle of nowhere,”‘ he said, adding that Paige had also told him, ‘I’m moving to Charleston. But then she’ll have a good day in New York and be like, “I love it up here.”‘
Craig added that sometimes her indecision could ‘get confusing’ but then also shared, ‘I think that’s life, right? It’s a bunch of decisions and compromise.’
During a previous episode of the reality series, Conover revealed he had frozen his sperm months before his split from Paige, which she called the ‘craziest thing in the world’ at the time.
While talking to pals Austen Kroll and Shep Rose, Craig expressed, ‘I would be remiss to not say that becoming a dad is like, probably like, a, whatever it’s called when it has to happen in my future,’ per People.
The episode then cut to a flashback as he shared his plans to freeze his sperm to Paige, who responded with, ‘What the f**k? That’s like the craziest thing in the world.’
Conover then explained in a confessional, ‘The version of life that I saw myself living isn’t what I’m living, which is like this stable home that I grew up in.’
‘Every night at dinner, my mom and dad were there and my brother. And I just loved that.’
He continued, ‘But I think if you find the right person and they happen to be a feisty Italian from New York, things aren’t always going to go how you have them planned.’
Both he and DeSorbo had wanted to wait around three to four years to possibly start a family – and Austen questioned Craig who had come up with the specific timeline.
He also insisted that he would have proposed to his now-ex but expressed that ‘she changes her mind a lot’; seen in 2024 in NYC
‘She did, and then it made sense to me. Without any influence from Paige, yes, I’d be, like, alright, you date for a little while, then you get married, then you have kids.’
The TV personality added, ‘We’re going to do that one day, but why don’t we just try and make as much money as possible now?’
Conover then emphasized that he wanted to start a family in the future, but Austen later told the cameras: ‘I’m not entirely sold that Craig wants exactly what Paige wants.’
And this week on Tuesday during her Giggly Squad podcast, DeSorbo revealed that she also has plans to freeze her eggs following the breakup.
‘I have wanted to do it … I would probably say like last year – probably in the spring – I was like, “Okay, in 2025 I’m freezing my eggs.”‘
The TV personality added, ‘I had like a list of things I wanted to get done in the month of January. So that was like one of my goals and I made my first appointment.’
Paige explained that she has begun the ‘difficult’ process, but does not know specifically when she wants to do the retrieval.
And this week on Tuesday during her Giggly Squad podcast, DeSorbo revealed that she also has plans to freeze her eggs following the breakup
‘The only thing is I have to pick two weeks that I’m gonna be home because I have to do the sH๏τs at the same time every night and I think they have to be in the refrigerator.’
She then shared that she is planning to freeze her eggs sometime in March, and later explained she wanted to have a backup plan if she wanted to become a mother in the future.
‘When I first decided to freeze my eggs it wasn’t like, “Oh my god [it’s for] my career.” Like I genuinely thought at 32 I would have a kid.’
The star added, ‘But always in the back of my head I was like, “What if I get to 39 or 40 and I’m like wait I want one more.” So that was always my thought process on freezing my eggs.’
