Paige Desorbo, Craig Conover.
Images Monica Schipper/GettyCraig Conover And Paige Desorbo were apparently Still in love When they filmed Southern Charm Season 10 – But after the breakup, not all of their on-screen interactions have aged well.
“My whole life is business now. That’s the fun thing for me now,” Craig said Austen Kroll During Season 10, Episode 4, which aired in January. “Earn money, become healthy and f–ing my girlfriend. “
Craig’s life motto for season 10 – which was filmed before he and Paige Splitting up in December 2024 After Three years of meetings — isn’t the only thing that makes us do a double-take when watching it.
Many of Craig’s plans were made with Paige in mind, including his choice to freeze his sperm and delay his vision of becoming a dad until she was ready. The two were also very relaxed about their marriage hopes, which hit differently now that they’re not a couple.
“She does housework,” Madison Lecroy noted During episode 5 After Paige, Paige made floral arrangements for a party at Craig’s house. She then asked, “What about commitment without being engaged?”
Craig replied that the duo was “Fundamentally” committed – and Paige doesn’t disagree.
Scroll down to see which of Craig and Paige’s comments from Season 10 haven’t gotten better with age:
A house for 2
“For Paige and I, yard time is our quality time,” Craig revealed during Episode 3, airing in December 2024, showing off his finished Charleston home. “When we first started dating, we went out all the time.”
He explained: “I guess (we) grew up with each other. We would rather spend time at home relaxing than partying. I built this sanctuary so we could get away from the world and I could relax and connect. »
Put his cum on ice
Craig shocked the Austen pals and Shep Rose During episode 4, when he revealed, “Me and Paige decided to freeze my sperm.”
His conversation with Paige, however, was just as surprising. “I was thinking about freezing my sperm,” Craig told his then-girlfriend. “It’s like the craziest thing in the world,” a stunned Paige said in response.
Craig went through the process, telling his friends that it was Paige’s decision not to have children, confessing that “without any influence from Paige” he would have his own timeline. “You go out for a little while, then you get married, then you have kids,” he said.
Change the plan
During the same episode, Craig said, “I want kids one day. Have I ever told you I want kids right now? He claimed: “I never said I wanted kids right now.”
Austen, however, told the cameras: “For as long as I’ve known Craig, he wanted to get married, wanted to have children.” Austen added: “I’m not entirely sold that Craig wants what Paige wants.”
Craig later admitted that His timeline had changed After meeting the Summer house star. “The version of life that I saw myself living is not what I’m living, which is this stable home that I grew up with,” he told the cameras. “Every night at dinner, my mom and dad were there with my brother. I loved that.
He concluded: “But I think if you find the right person and they’re a fiery Italian from New York, things aren’t always going to go the way you planned them.”
Sew what?
Paige supported Sewing in the South companionship throughout their romance. They even joked about her job during episode 4, which aired on January 2, while imagining one of the rooms in her house.
“Don’t worry about me, you do whatever you want in this room,” Paige told Craig, who revealed that he wanted the space to be “a multifunctional room where I can create.”
Paige teased, “I want you to hem for me. It’s been three years, and you haven’t hemmed a single pair of freaking pants for me! »
While Paige was on board with a sewing corner, she closed one of Craig’s more bizarre suggestions for the room. “What about a paper wrapped wall?” He asked to which Paige replied, “What the f—?” No.”
Babies in the bank
During episode 5, Craig joked about throwing a party to celebrate him freezing his sperm. He then revealed that he would leave Paige his sperm if he died and that she wanted more children.
“Is there a return policy”, She said laughing. Craig, however, was serious about his dreams of their future.
“In the rom-com world that I live in, I die and you’re like ‘but I still want to have his kids,’” he said. Paige, however, noted that she would “never do that.”
She argued: “What, I’m going to have a child and then not give them a father?” Craig responded by saying he understood that, but “instead of throwing it away immediately” she would now have a “choice” and it was a “gift” from him.
The white fence
Craig and Shep had a heart-to-heart during episode 7, which aired on January 23, talking about his ups and downs with Paige. “You’re itching for this white picket fence existence. Now you have it,” Shep said, applauding Craig for his new life.
Craig admitted: “I think everyone knows, if it was up to me, we’d commit. But she changes her mind about things a lot.
Craig Conover has come a long way since his reality TV debut in 2014. His evolution over the course of Season 9 – and his hilarious one-liners – make him the unsung hero of Southern Charm in 2023. Craig’s Transformation has been apparent since the September premiere. “(I) started getting healthier and cutting out alcohol and trying (…)
He detailed Paige’s inner thoughts, explaining, “One day she’ll fly out to me and say, ‘Let’s build on the farm in the middle of nowhere.’ Or like, “I’m moving to Charleston.” Then she’ll have a great day in New York and tell me, “I love it here.” »
Shep asked if that was “hard to hear” to which Craig admitted, “It’s getting confusing.” He added: “I think that’s life. It’s a lot of decisions and compromises. »
Craig later told the cameras that he had reservations about going out of Paige’s timeline and not his own. “I’m waiting a few years to have a child, not a big problem. But what I risk is, “What if Paige wants to turn those two years into 10 years?” he asked.
