Since Southern Charm premiered in 2014, the Bravo reality show has provided fans with hours of entertainment. The reason for that is the fact that Southern Charm has starred several people fans care about, including Jarrett "JT" Thomas, who left the show after viewers learned about his health issues. Southern Charm fans have also cared about things like new cast members joining the show, Michael Kelcourse's passing, and Olivia Flowers' firing.
Arguably the Southern Charm cast member that fans are most invested in is Craig Conover. After all, fans want to know about Craig's business, and they are even more invested in his love life, which can be very dramatic, to say the least.

Since 2019, Paige DeSorbo has become one of Bravo's most notable reality show stars. After all, Paige has starred in episodes of Winter House, Summer House, and Southern Charm.

In November 2023, People published a timeline of Craig Conover and Paige DeSorbo's relationship. That article revealed that after Paige and Craig met during Summer House's fourth season, they began by building a friendship.

Many 'Southern Charm' fans don't know about Chelsea Meissner's 'Survivor' history.
After they made their relationship Instagram official in December 2021, Craig discussed his future with Paige in March 2022. During a Page Six interview, Craig revealed that he and Paige had been having some very big conversations.
During Craig Conover's March 2024 Page Six interview, he admitted that he and Paige were both aware at the time that their relationship might not last forever. “We’re both realists and obviously no one ever plans on breaking up… we hope that doesn’t happen, obviously.”
According to Craig, he and Paige were considering things like getting married and having children.
“We have talked about marriage and spending our lives together, which we’re happy about. We talk about kids and a family.”
After talking about potentially getting married some day, Craig and Paige have stayed together ever since.
While talking to People in November 2023, Craig Conover revealed he and Paige DeSorbo weren't rushing to engagement. “I love what we have now.”
However, as another article from TheThings detailed, Craig stated during a Summer House episode that it was "very probable" that he and Paige would break up.
"I mean, there's always that chance, right? We do live in different places. She lives in New York City, she loves New York. I love Charleston, I run a company out of Charleston. It's very probable. You'd be naive to be like, 'It's all just gonna work out.'"
In March 2024, EOnline reported about Paige's responding to Craig's comment during an episode of the "Giggly Squad" podcast. Instead of getting upset, Paige agreed with Craig's comment. "Honestly, I wasn't upset about it at all because I think everything he said I agreed with... Yes, in statistics people could potentially break up. We have a higher rate because we do long distance, but I think if we weren't acknowledging that we would be really naive."
Based on those remarks and the fact that Craig and Paige haven't gotten engaged after several years together, many observers expect their relationship may end soon. However, both of those comments in context show they may have just been trying to be realistic.
