The First Meeting and Early Days
Southern Charm's Craig Conover and Summer House's Paige DeSorbo have been dating for more than two years now and are stronger than ever. Bravo fans have known about both Craig and Paige separately for years. Craig shot to fame when he joined Southern Charm season 1 in 2014 and has been a main cast member on the show ever since.

Paige and Craig met for the first time when Craig, along with his Southern Charm boys, Austen Kroll and Shep Rose, made an appearance in Summer House season 4. At the time, Paige was in a relationship with Perry Rahbar, while Craig was single and ready to mingle. Craig did have an attraction to Paige, but since she was taken, Craig set his sights on Jules Daoud, and the two had a one-night hook-up. However, this is in the past for Paige and Craig, and the two have since developed a strong relationship with clear longevity. It seems they are both in it for the long haul.

The Relationship Rumor and Official Confirmation
Rumors of Paige and Craig's relationship initially began in early 2021, shortly after the duo filmed Winter House season 1. At the time, while filming, Craig was in a relationship with Natalie Hegnauer, while Paige began a flirty relationship with her Winter House costar Andrea Denver. Not too long after they left the winter house, Craig and Natalie ended their relationship, and Craig became interested in Paige. The pair weren't official yet, as Paige was still figuring out if she was more into Craig or Andrea. However, she and Craig began seeing each other more, and the two were official shortly after the summer ended.

In October 2021, Craig confirmed to People that he and Paige were officially in a relationship. He revealed that he and Paige had a 'crush' on each other three years prior when he appeared on Summer House season 4 for Kyle Cooke's birthday celebrations. Neither Paige nor Craig were single at the time, so they never tried for a relationship. Nonetheless, Craig confirms that he and Paige always had 'an eye for each other.' Since the two didn't rush into a relationship, Paige and Craig were able to develop a friendship and grow their relationship naturally from there.

The Future and Their Journey Together
Ever since Paige and Craig filmed Winter House season 2, there have been discussions between the two about moving in together. While Paige loves Craig, she has always been hesitant to officially move in together. Paige even freaked out when she and Craig would have to live together for two weeks while filming Winter House season 2. However, now that almost two years have passed since that was filmed, Paige is more comfortable living with a boy. They fly back and forth between New York City and Charleston, but neither of them plans on making an official move to either city just yet.

The pair have discussed getting engaged on both Southern Charm and Summer House over the last couple of years. However, Craig won't propose until he knows Paige will say yes to him. Paige is hesitant to get engaged as she doesn't feel ready to take that next step in their relationship. While chatting with People at BravoCon 2023, Craig mentioned how he and Paige no longer feel pressured to get engaged. 'It's funny how things evolve and change [...] I think there was so much pressure from the outside world. I love what we have now [...] We're always together, we're just in one place and the other,' he said.
