Paige DeSorbo Says She Was the “Breadwinner” with Craig — And Refused to Settle for Less!

Paige DeSorbo is setting the record straight on what she meant when she referred to herself as the “breadwinner” during her time with Southern Charm’s Craig Conover.

The Summer House star recently opened up about the dynamics of their relationship, revealing that her packed work schedule and consistent earnings played a major role in how things functioned between them. “I work more,” she said matter-of-factly. “So why would I not be the breadwinner?”

Her comment wasn’t just about the money — it was also about who was making the sacrifices. Paige explained that when the couple discussed their future, especially the possibility of moving to Charleston where Craig is based, she was the one being asked to compromise. “Why the f—k would I move when I’m the one working more and making more?” she asked, highlighting the imbalance she felt.

These honest admissions reveal the underlying friction that built up in their relationship — not just about love, but about career, location, and long-term compatibility. Paige’s refusal to uproot her life and career in New York for someone who wasn’t meeting her halfway added to the growing tension that eventually led to their split.

Since the breakup, Paige has remained focused on her career and independence, while Craig has started a new chapter of his own. But Paige’s bold declaration has sparked a larger conversation about modern relationship roles and the pressure women face to choose between love and ambition.

One thing is clear — Paige DeSorbo isn’t apologizing for being successful, and she’s not settling for anything less than full partnership.
