Batula explained, “She’s our friend at the end of the day, so whatever makes her happy [we support].”

The model teased that she’s ready for single DeSorbo to come out and play. “Honestly, I’m excited for her to kind of spread her wings outside of this relationship and hit the streets with me,” Miller said, adding that she is also single.

Batula confessed that she’s “jealous” that her two best friends are single in New York City at the same time, since she has been married to Kyle Cooke since September 2021.

“I think I might have to leave Kyle now so that I can join,” Batula joked.

Miller told Us that she texted Batula in their group chat days after news broke in December 2024 that DeSorbo and Conover, 35, split to see if she was going to be next.

“I was like, ‘Amanda, how are you doing over there?’ I’m like, ‘Do you feel like you want to join the single girls club?’” Miller teased, confirming that they all “love Kyle” and don’t want the married couple to break up.

She joked, “He can still be around, but maybe we just search for your second husband.” Miller laughed, but confessed that “Kyle’s going to kill me” for even thinking about making Batula a single lady.

Miller added that Batula will just have to be their “wingman,” and she is OK with that plan. “Yes. I [will] just be there just hanging out,” Batula chimed in.

Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover went from friends to lovers to exes. The Southern Charm star and the Summer House personality crossed paths while starring on their respective Bravo shows. “I met Craig, actually, three years ago and he was single. I had a boyfriend, and I absolutely respected that I was in a relationship,” […]

After confirming their romance, Conover began making cameos on Summer House while DeSorbo popped up on Southern Charm. While they were one of Bravo’s favorite couples, their long-distance relationship eventually took a toll.

DeSorbo announced in December 2024 that she and Conover had parted ways ahead of the holidays and after three years of dating. She told her “Giggly Squad” podcast listeners at the time that “no one did anything” and it “wasn’t a bad thing,” but they were over.

While a source exclusively told Us that month that Conover was “ready for the next steps and had plans to propose” before the breakup, living in separate states made things hard on their relationship. (DeSorbo resides in New York while Conover lives in South Carolina.)

“Paige does not want to move to Charleston, and logistically it was never going to work out long term,” the insider explained. “Many of their friends are not shocked at all, but everyone is sad for them.”

Conover, meanwhile, waited until the new year to speak out about the end of his relationship.

While DeSorbo is entering her single girl era, her costars Batula and Miller are continuing to embrace the art of “bed rotting” with the help of KIND Snacks.

“We’re the bed routing queens. We welcome people and I feel like it gets a bad rap sometimes, but everything’s great in moderation,” Miller told Us of the partnership. “Why not have the best snack for being in bed? It leaves no crumbs. The KIND bars are a hundred percent crumb free, which we love [in] bed.”

KIND Snacks is kicking off 2025 by applauding Gen-Z’s form of self-care called bed rotting, which means lounging in bed as a way to reset. The brand is launching the KINDest Bed Rotting Experience sweepstakes, giving fans a chance to win a “cozy day of rest” in a luxurious hotel bed with bed rotting essentials and KIND Snacks.

“Rotting 101 is to only consume snacks that leave no mess and no crumbs and KIND bars are perfect,” Batula told Us. “You got the salty, you got the sweet. It’s the perfect mix. KIND just really gets it. … So we love [a] good bed rotting session.”
