Craig Conover lamented over his “great sex life” with ex-girlfriend Paige DeSorbo as he got candid about their breakup.
“We were best friends, we loved each other, we had a great sex life, we just checked so many boxes,” he said on the “Southern Charm” Season 10 finale Thursday, per People.
The Bravo star admitted he questioned where “the f–k” he was going to find another relationship like the one he had with DeSorbo, saying, “How are we giving this up? … It’s weird to mourn someone that’s still alive.”
Conover, 37, also shared that he designed an engagement ring for DeSorbo, 32, and planned to propose last year before she allegedly told him to pump the breaks.
“She asked me to buy her a ring and I did,” he explained. “Then she was like, ‘Actually, hold off.’ Looking back, maybe that was her starting to panic or freak out.”
The lawyer — who lives in South Carolina — said at one point he even “offered” to move to New York to be with DeSorbo, but claimed she insisted he would eventually “resent” her if he relocated to the Big Apple.
However, Conover said he would have been willing to take the risk for their “rare” love.
The TV personality claimed DeSorbo broke up with him over the phone several weeks after they spent a “great” Thanksgiving together.
DeSorbo announced that she and Conover had split after three years of dating in late December 2024.
During Wednesday’s “Summer House” aftershow, DeSorbo admitted she was “blinded” to her ex’s “embarrassing” behavior during their relationship.
“I think I loved him so much that I tolerated too much, and now that I’m out of it and I look back at things, I’m like, ‘Oh, wait,’” she said.
The “Giggly Squad” podcast host claimed that Conover would consistently find a way to make her milestones about himself.
“It was just embarrassing,” she explained. “So, that’s something that I look back on now, and I’m like, ‘Oh, wow, I really was very blinded.’ I had to do a lot of damage control.”
DeSorbo added that she would avoid telling Conover about her career achievements because he thought she “worked too much” and would not be happy for her “deep down.”
The native New Yorker previously referred to her and Conover’s breakup as “the right decision” and denied “baseless” cheating allegations.
