Southern Charm's Craig Conover is looking to the future after his breakup from Paige DeSorbo. It's been months since the Sewing Down South founder and his Summer House cast member ex called it quits, and now he's getting real about his feelings.
During a recent episode of the Southern Charm After Show, Craig looked back on his relationship after dating Paige for three years. He admitted that he had not been doing too well after his breakup, and had been grieving the relationship for some time. "There was definitely denial, then fixing it, then acceptance — but that's the biggest thing, once you accept that it's real you can move on," he noted in the video above.
When fellow Southern Charm cast member, Madison LeCroy, noted that he was doing better than she expected, Craig admitted that the breakup "was tough" on him. But, he was optimistic that things would get better soon. "I was in denial," he said of the breakup.
"[I] know I'll be okay but it just sucks," he concluded.

Craig continued during the Southern Charm After Show, revealing that he was excited to see where the future would take him after the breakup. "The right person will fall in when, you know, after you get established in this new life," he admitted. "I just wonder who it's gonna be."
The Pillows and Beer podcast host admitted that he has not been single for a while, and was only three months out of a relationship before getting together with Paige in 2021. "I mean, I was single for three months last time, and a whole bunch of crazy s—t happened," he said.

But when he does date again, he admitted on Housewives Nightcap that he's looking for a partner with a sense of adventure. "I'm excited to find someone to travel with — I mean, Paige and I traveled great together — but I want to find someone to travel with since I'm on the road so much now," he said. "And I'm fortunate I can be very spontaneous with my time. And I think it would be very fun to find someone to share that life with again."
