Paige Desorbo and Craig Conover are stars of the Bravo television crossover series, Winter House. A southern charmer and a summer house gal got together and this stunning couple was born. Craig Conover has been on Southern Charm since its debut in 2014 while Paige Desorbo is a fresher face to the industry (although she's already very successful). Fashionista Paige Desorbo joined the cast of Summer House during season three back in 2019.
Paige and Craig's friendship started a few years ago and they always sort of secretly had a thing for one another. "We both had a crush on each other from three years ago when I came to the Hamptons for Kyle Cooke's birthday party," Conover says of his brief appearance on an episode of Summer House, adding that the two were never single at the same time. "We always had an eye for each other." Finally, their relationship timelines synced up and they finally got to pursue one another! Here's how Bravo stars Craig Conover and Paige Desorbo took their relationship to the next level.
7 'Winter House' Premieres
During the Bravo spinoff show Winter House, Craig Convover entered the house in a relationship so Paige had her eye on an Italian stallion. Italian model, Andrea Denver, and Craig's girlfriend at the time, Natalie Hegnauer, were no match for what was to come. Even though Craig and Paige weren't able to pursue anything romantic, they were able to grow their friendship. Their friendship connection grew stronger while living in Vermont together and only reassured the pair of what they already knew.
"It was done in a healthy way. We built a friendship and got to know each other first, and it all happened naturally," Conover says. "You see the foundation of our relationship start to form on the show."

Paige admitted, “When we got to Vermont, I didn’t know he had a girlfriend. So, I was a little bummed when I first got there. But, of course, he was absolutely respectful to his girlfriend,” DeSorbo told Us. “And I’m so happy now looking back that he had a girlfriend because we built just a very platonic friendship, which is, like, the base of our relationship now. Everything really does happen for a reason.”
In April, Paige then flew to Charleston, South Carolina with friends after the show wrapped. She got to hang out with Craig for the first time off-air and whilst they were both single. This spontaneous trip was the start of it all.

It just fits, like, it just is very natural and it’s a lot of fun.”
