Paige Opens Up About Struggle to Balance Thriving Career & Relationship with Craig

   

On Summer House, Paige DeSorbo said she didn't expect her career to take off the way it did when she started dating Craig Conover.

While out shopping with a pregnant Lindsay Hubbard during Season 9, Episode 3 of Summer House, Paige DeSorbo got on the subject of Craig Conover’s decision to freeze his sperm (this was pre-breakup, FYI). Then, the women started talking about Paige's thoughts on having a family.

While the conversation stayed pretty casual with Lindsay, Paige shared a deeper look into her feelings about motherhood versus her (thriving!) career in a confessional.

“Craig's been ready for a family and for me to move into his home since, literally, I think … the day he texted me. But I have worked for this exact moment in my career for 10-plus years," Paige shared. "This fall, my podcast, Giggly Squad, is going on the 60 city tour. I'm just as shocked as everyone else."

"Trust me, I wanted to be in the bed. I wanted to be taken care of. I would have loved to have just married a man and said, ‘And now I'm done,'" Paige continued. "But that's not where I'm at.”

Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover previously argued about their relationship timeline

Before their November 2024 breakup, we saw Paige and Craig have plenty of conversations about their future together on their respective Bravo shows.

During Season 10, Episode 11 of Southern Charm, they got into an argument about children while on a beekeeping date. 

"If you said to me right now, 'We need to have a baby or I'm leaving.' Like ... you'd have to leave," Paige told her then-beau. "Is who I am not enough? Do I not show enough love? Like, if you can't handle the amount of love than I give ... that's like, a personal problem. And then that gets put on me and it's like I'm a bad girlfriend."

Why Paige DeSorbo is focused on her career

This also isn't the first time Paige has talked about wanting to focus on her career. Last July, she got on the subject while on the LadyGang podcast.

“When [women] do get married and have babies, people look at you different and they treat you different,” she said. “I didn’t want to be doing Giggly Squad, putting out a book, going on tour, and everyone would be like, ‘So you’re planning your wedding. Like, where are you doing it?’ I didn’t work this long just to like give it to a guy, basically.”
