What do you get when two Bravolebrities enter a Winter House? Craig Conover and Paige DeSorbo were acquaintances for a long time before they started dating. While appearing on their respective Bravo shows, the Southern Charm star and the Summer House personality became acquainted. Three years ago, when I first met Craig, he was still looking for a partner.
DeSorbo, alluding to her exe-boyfriend Perry Rahbar, said this about her relationship status in the October 2021 issue of Us Weekly. The 2021 filming of Winter House brought DeSorbo and Conover closer together after they had already formed a bond. Natalie Hegnauer was the girlfriend of the creator of Sewing Down South.
Before we moved to Vermont, I had no idea he had a girlfriend. When I first arrived, I was a little disappointed. DeSorbo told Us that, despite this, DeSorbo’s boyfriend was always courteous to his girlfriend. And in retrospect, I’m glad he had a girlfriend, since it allowed us to develop the strong friendship that serves as the foundation of our current relationship. There is a purpose to every event.
Conover and Hegnauer broke up at the conclusion of the crossover series. In May of 2021, he confirmed he was dating no one. According to those in the know, he and the trendsetting model started dating in the summer. Long-distance relationships are something we enjoy tremendously. DeSorbo told Us in October 2021 that she was likely to appear on Southern Charm,
season 8 of which was filming at the time in South Carolina since “we’re two people that are incredibly independent and have so much going on during the week.” It’s great when I have the whole week to get my work done, and then I can take off on a vacation on Friday morning. When we’re together, it seems like we’re really paying attention to one another. We put down our phones, organise some fun activities, and have a good time.
Kyle Cooke’s birthday was in 2019, and Conover claimed that he and Cooke had been having feelings for one other ever since he taped an episode of Summer House for the occasion. In October of 2021, he said, “We are pretty happy now.” Neither of us has ever dated anyone else who worked in our field. It’s great that we can understand one other. I finally found someone who genuinely loves and supports me as much as I love and support them. Just keep scrolling to see how their romance has evolved:

It’s incredibly easy and enjoyable to do; everything about it feels right.

ET: “Craig was not the reason I stopped hanging out with Andrea,” she said. “Since I was not anyone’s girlfriend, I believed that I had no responsibility to justify my actions to any of the men in my life. It’s safe to say that I was actively dating throughout the entire spring and summer.”
July 2022
DeSorbo told E! News in July 2022 that she was “fortunate” to be dating a man who knew what it was like to put one’s life on display for the world to see. When I tell him, “Everyone hates us,” he responds, “Whatever, I love you.”
