The Southern Charm didn’t hold anything back during the season 10 reunion — especially Craig Conover, who recounted his recent split from Paige DeSorbo in detail.
“I didn’t think it was real,” Craig told host Andy Cohen on part 1 of the reunion, which aired on Thursday, March 27, referring to his November 2024 split from Paige.
Craig noted that although he told Andy on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen in December 2024 that he and Paige were still together, she had already called it off.
“After WWHL I went to her apartment to be like, ‘What’s happening?’ And she was like, ‘I’m probably making the worst mistake of my life, but I need to go find myself,’” Craig claimed.
Craig Conover is weighing in after his ex Paige DeSorbo shared more insight into their breakup. The Southern Charm star, 35, was asked about Paige’s claims she “never cheated physically or emotionally” during his appearance on the Thursday, February 6, episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. Andy asked Craig whether he “cosigned” […]
Craig then dropped another bombshell, alleging that after he asked Paige, “What do you want me to do with your [engagement] ring? She said, ‘Keep it. Maybe we’ll get married at BravoCon!’”
Craig was just one of the Southern Charm stars who bared his soul during part 1 of the reunion. Scroll down for the biggest revelations — including why Jarrett “JT” Thomas was given the “f— boy” title from his castmates.
Craig Recalls Breakup Timeline
“To be fair she broke up with me on the phone call [in November],” Craig explained, revealing, “I’m saying I didn’t receive it like that.”
Instead, Craig held out hope that the breakup wasn’t “real” until the end of 2024. “I [had] been in a weird place throughout December,” Craig said, noting, “We continued to talk throughout December.”
He shared that it wasn’t until “two days before” New Year’s Eve when Paige texted him again and said she had announced their split on her “Giggly Squad” podcast. “Then all my stuff showed up on my porch one day. Then it became real,” Craig concluded.
Craig Says Paige Has Changed
“To me the person that she’s kinda been since the breakup isn’t the person I remember dating,” the Sewing Down South founder claimed. “She’s fighting with people in the comments. She’s starting to say mean things about me based on what the internet is saying.”
He argued, “I’m just like, ‘I didn’t do anything to you.’ Sure, I wasn’t a perfect boyfriend. I had a lot of s— that I had to work out [but that’s it].” Craig added, “It’s been an interesting breakup to say the least.”
Was There Another Guy?
When Andy asked whether Paige broke up with Craig for a “new guy” following rumors that Paige was linked to multiple men since their 2024 split, Craig was adamant that wasn’t the case.
“I asked her, ‘Please just tell me if you’re with another guy?’” Craig recalled. “She said, ‘Craig I’m not talking or dating anyone.’ And then she said some crazy stuff.”
Craig then clarified, it wasn’t “crazy” but Paige allegedly asked him, “‘Why didn’t you try to get me back?’ I was like I have been trying to get you back. That’s not fair.”
He continued, “And she was like, ‘I think it’s very clear we both made the right decision.’ I was like, ‘We didn’t make this decision.’” Craig confessed that he didn’t “beg” Paige to change her mind because, “I knew you shouldn’t be with someone you have to beg to be with.”
Madison and JT Squash Their Beef — Sort Of
Throughout season 10, Jarrett “JT” Thomas was accused of stirring the pot on multiple occasions including when he allegedly said that Madison LeCroy’s husband, Brett Randle, thought he had an “affair” with her during a past group vacation and Brett was “jealous.”
Madison went off on JT for his alleged comments during the show, and when they were reunited, JT finally explained that his FaceTime with Madison and Brett off camera was simply about both of their “whereabouts” during the past trip.
Taylor Ann Green came out swinging during Southern Charm’s season 9 premiere — and Craig Conover felt her wrath. “I will say, from my perspective, the way that you approached our breakup was really shitty,” Taylor, 28, told Craig, 34, during the Thursday, September 14, episode, referring to her split from Shep Rose. “We used […]
JT’s decision to play coy about what made him nervous speaking with Madison and Brett is what led to rumors, which in turn, made Madison yell at him on camera. “You need to understand my family, I will go to the end for that. I am sorry for taking it a little too far,” Madison told JT.
JT replied, “I’ll apologize for my misstep for airing laundry that didn’t need to be aired.”
He then started to say, “If I was married and my wife and I called you and she deposed you, I think you would be a little uncomfortable.” Madison cut him off and said not to go there. When JT tried to stop the conversation again, she fired back, “You were dragging out so we’re going to finish it.” They then just stopped talking.
The Sienna of It All
Andy called Shep Rose’s breakup with Sienna Evans a “slow car crash that we all witnessed.” Shep, meanwhile, said that while he fell hard looking back, he didn’t check all her boxes — one of which was making a ton of money. (Sienna and Shep split in summer 2024, and fans saw the downfall play out during the cast’s Bahamas trip.)
“She texted me the other day and said, ‘You are sharing intimate details of our relationship,’” Shep said of Sienna. “She said, ‘I didn’t sign up for this.’ I was like, ‘Yeah you did.’”
Molly and Shep Tease Hookup
During the season 10 finale, Molly O’Connell and Shep kissed at the cast pre-summer bash. They confirmed during the reunion that they slept together that evening and “one more” time before he left town for most of the summer and fall. “We had some adult fun,” Shep said.
Madison explained that “this version of Shep” is someone she’d be OK with pal Molly dating. Molly, meanwhile, said she was proud of Shep for “actively trying to better” himself, but as of now the stars hadn’t aligned.
JT Is on the Hotseat
After the season 10 finale filmed, JT and Venita Aspen briefly dated. Venita explained on the reunion that they were together during fall 2024, but once Venita learned he was back with his girlfriend Ali Pereless she stopped speaking with JT.
“It’s a really tricky situation,” JT said when asked about Venita. He proceeded to get tongue tied before claiming that Venita “knew the whole time” that he had a girlfriend. “Don’t do me like that,” Venita clapped back, denying she knew he was seeing two people at once.
Salley Carson quickly had Venita’s back, asking JT, “Who’s the f— boy now?” Austen Kroll piled on saying, “My how the tables have turned.” (JT performed a “f— boy exorcism” on Austen, which Austen did not appreciate.)
Southern Charm got messy at the end of season 8 — and when season 9 premiered on Thursday, September 14, some of the cast was still at odds. OG star Shep Rose’s relationship drama with ex Taylor Ann Green was front and center during the season 8 reunion, which aired in October 2022, after she […]
JT quipped, “I didn’t f— her, so I don’t think I am,” which irked the entire cast. “That is f—ed up,” Madison said, while Salley pointed out that JT “hid” his girlfriend, which is the definition of a f— boy.
Venita, meanwhile, slammed JT for not defending her when his girlfriend “f—ing DMs me calling me a ‘goddamn rat’” when he knew the truth.
“I have a feeling it’s about to get worse!” Andy said as Venita stormed off set to get her phone for receipts.
Part 2 of Southern Charm airs on Bravo Thursday, April 3, at 8 p.m. ET.
