Sure, they can share a vacation rental when the weather is nice, but will Summer House lovebirds Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover start living together full-time?
Paige and Craig, who Bravo fans may know as a Southern Charm OG, have been together since 2021. Throughout their relationship, they've discussed the possibility of moving in together. I
In an exclusive interview with Distractify to promote his partnership with Heluva Good! Dip and its Sunsational Table giveaway, Craig gave an update on his and Paige's current living situation.
Craig Conover said Paige DeSorbo helped him find "solace" in his home now that they live together.
Craig and Paige's relationship has been the Bravo crossover none of us knew we needed. Since they started dating, they have shared details about their romance on Southern Charm and Summer House. While speaking with Distractify about Heluva Good! Dip and Summer 2024, Craig confirmed that his summer plans include enjoying the cohabitation life with Paige.
The Sewing Down South CEO told us he and Paige are having "fun" living together in different cities. He said he still considers them a "long-distance" couple, as they often split their time between New York, where Paige lives, and his Charleston home. Though living in two places most of the year would seem exhausting to some, Craig said doing so provides an "incredible balance" that allows him to live his childhood dream of living in NYC and get back to "our little airport in Charleston" whenever he chooses.
"I love going up to the city for a little bit. And the hustle and bustle you get from that, but then I love flying back to our little airport in Charleston and hopping in my car and driving home," Craig shared.
Craig added that seeing Paige "decompress" after trading in the big city for beekeeping in the backyard and hanging by the pool allowed him to see that their current living situation works for them. He's also grateful his girlfriend came along and fixed his party animal ways.
"I found my value from going out for so long," Craig admitted. "I was never good at staying home alone and finding happiness from being by myself. "And through dating Paige and just growing up a little more, even though I'm in my mid-30s, I finally have been able to find solace and just be home."
"And so some of my friends think I'm a little boring now," he added. "But I'm like I just I've grown into a new chapter."
Paige previously admitted she was "not ready” to move in with Craig.
While Paige and Craig are settling into living together now, Paige was hesitant to get support from her boyfriend when it came to paying rent. "I wouldn't go buy a car with Craig not being married. I wouldn't start a bank account with Craig not being married, so why would I take part of my rent from him?" she said in a 2024 episode of Summer House. "Also, I'm not just going to be indebted to him, and then, what? He thinks he's gonna make decisions in my apartment? Get out of town."
Paige also told E! News in March 2024 that she was still living in Manhattan and planned to stay there and be in Charleston with Craig. She shared that her boyfriend has "ample closet space" for when he visits.
Although fans (and ) are skeptical about their future due to their long-distance relationship, they're both seemingly committed to making their romance work.
