It looks like Craig Conover is sewing the stitches on his heartbreak after his shocking split from Paige DeSorbo. The Southern Charm star dropped bombshells on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, making it clear that this breakup wasn’t as "mutual" as Paige initially claimed. And honey, the tea is piping hot!

Craig Spills the Sweet Tea—And It’s Piping Hot

Craig Conover didn't hold back during his Feb. 6 appearance on Watch What Happens Live, dropping some major bombshells about his split from Paige DeSorbo. While Paige, 32, had previously painted their breakup as amicable, Craig, 35, gave a much different version of events—one that left Bravo fans absolutely shook.

“I didn’t think it was real,” Craig admitted, revealing that Paige ended things over Thanksgiving weekend. And in a line that instantly set social media ablaze, he dropped the jaw-dropping claim: “We didn’t want different things, she just wanted other people.” Ouch. That’s a far cry from the peaceful, mutual decision Paige had previously suggested—it’s giving heartbreak, not conscious uncoupling.

But perhaps the most shocking revelation? Craig and Paige had actively been planning a future together—right up until she called it quits. “I was moving to New York,” Craig shared, confirming that he was ready to leave Charleston behind to build a life with her. “We were talking about getting engaged.”

Talk about blindsided! Craig’s candid confession completely changed the narrative around their split, leaving fans questioning whether Paige had been upfront about her true intentions. Was she stringing Craig along while keeping her options open? Or is Craig just feeling the sting of rejection and rewriting history?

One thing’s for sure—this Bravo breakup just got a lot messier.

Did Paige Cheat? The Million-Dollar Question

When asked if he agreed with Paige’s podcast statement that she never cheated, Craig kept it classy but firm. “I got broken up with. I'm the ex-boyfriend, moving on with my life.” Translation? He’s not going to defend her to the internet mob, and he’s definitely not co-signing her version of events.

Craig’s bestie and Southern Charm co-star Austen Kroll, however, wasn’t afraid to stir the pot. When Andy Cohen pressed him on Paige’s rumored new romance, Austen declared, “I don’t think those are rumors. I think they’ve been substantiated.” (Someone hand Paige a fire extinguisher because that’s some serious burn.)

Paige was quick to clap back in the WWHL Instagram comments, writing, "Ahhh yes, a man I haven’t spoken to in six months knows exactly what I’m doing." But DeuxMoi had already reported that Paige had been spotted getting cozy with sports executive Joe D’Amelio and even jetting off on a Miami getaway. The streets (and social media) are talking, folks!

Craig & Rachael Kirkconnell? Not Happening!

Since The Bachelor’s Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell also recently called it quits, some fans have been playing matchmaker, suggesting that Craig and Rachael should get together. But Craig swiftly shut that down. “We went to a wedding with them this summer,” he explained, implying that he and Rachael are just friends.

However, he did throw a little shade about how both breakups seemed sudden. “I don’t know the details of theirs, but it seemed like we were both blindsided.” Another subtle jab at Paige? We think yes.

Fan Reactions: Team Craig vs. Team Paige?

When it comes to Bravo breakups, fans are never shy about picking sides—and Craig and Paige’s split is no exception. As the dust settles, social media has been flooded with takes, theories, and passionate defenses of both reality stars.

Many viewers have rallied behind Craig, praising him for being honest and accusing Paige of playing a strategic PR game. “Craig has done nothing wrong. He’s just being completely honest, and she’s playing a PR game,” one fan declared, echoing the belief that Paige is trying to control the narrative. Others are already pitching a reality TV comeback for Craig, suggesting he get a dating spinoff like Relationshep to help him move on in front of the cameras.

Some fans were just relieved to finally get the full story. “I was starting to think we’d need a special edition of Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? just to find out what happened!” one viewer joked after Craig’s Watch What Happens Live appearance.

Another popular take is that Paige always planned to end up in New York and simply stayed with Craig because it benefited her career. “She knew three years ago that she wanted to live a NYC lifestyle, but she stuck around because it helped her. Most women would love a cute hubby with a thriving business, grilling hotdogs while the kids play in the pool in Charleston. He'll have no problem finding someone to marry him,” one person argued.

Then there’s the cheating speculation, which some fans claim is more than just a rumor. A particularly damning allegation circulating online is that Paige pursued another man who was already engaged, allegedly encouraging him to leave his fiancée for her. “Good for Craig! The affair partner’s fiancée (now ex) even called Paige out for chasing after the guy,” a fan noted. “Why would Craig defend that?! Paige has been exposed for the lying cheat she is.”

Meanwhile, Paige’s defenders weren’t backing down. They argued that Craig was being hypocritical by criticizing Paige’s cast for discussing their split when it was actually his Southern Charm costars who fueled the infidelity rumors in the first place. “The reason Paige had to even clarify anything is because of a comment someone from HIS cast made,” one person pointed out. “For him to talk about her cast is ridiculous—but sounds about right for Craig.”

With so many opinions flying, one thing is certain: this Bravo breakup is far from over in the court of public opinion.

What’s Next for Craig?

Craig, who has built a thriving home decor business, Sewing Down South, and recently expanded into the restaurant industry, seems focused on moving forward. As he put it, “I think we had an awesome relationship… I’m where I am a lot of it because of her. It is what it is.”

That’s some serious grace under fire! But as any Bravo fan knows, the drama never stays buried for long. So, will Craig and Paige continue throwing shade, or is this truly the end of Charming House? Only time—and maybe the next WWHL episode—will tell!
