Andy Cohen is "very sad" about Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover's breakup. The Summer House cast member announced on Dec. 30, that she and the Southern Charm cast member had split after three years of dating — and Andy is mourning the dissolution of "the first couple of Bravo."

Andy appeared on his SiriusXM radio show, Radio Andy, earlier this week, where he reacted to the breakup announcement. "We were very sad to get the news about Paige and Craig, I have to say," Andy admitted.

He noted that both Paige and Craig have been so successful together and on their own and that he was " rooting for them" during their time together. "I mean, the other thing is, they are both in the middle of an incredible amount of success...We still really don't know, have a reason, so more to come on that. Everybody loved them," he noted. "Who's the first couple of Bravo now? I mean, they really were the first couple of Bravo. Everyone was rooting for them. I don't know."

Andy Cohen's tribute to Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover's relationship

Andy further eulogized the breakup during an episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Monday, Jan. 6. when he played a video at the end of the episode, filled with highlights from Paige and Craig's relationship.

"Not only has 2024 come to an end, but so has the three-year relationship between Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover," he said. "Grab a decorative pillow to cry into, as we look back into some special moments that, much like Craig's sperm sample, are now frozen in time."

It's safe to say that Andy is still mourning. "[The] chemistry they had!" he exclaimed after the video aired. "I wish them both the best."

His comments come days after he first reacted to the breakup news with several crying emojis on Instagram.

Craig Conover says he is "still processing" his breakup from Paige DeSorbo

Craig took to his Instagram Story on Jan. 7, where he released his first statement on the breakup, one week after Paige announced that they were no longer together. "This has all been very, very unexpected to say the least," he said.

"But I guess life has to, I gotta start living it, whatever that looks like. Whatever my new normal looks like, I have to start," he continued. "Gratitude will get you through this. [With] time comes clarity, all of the advice I'm trying to listen to. Right before the holidays, I was very shocked and it's OK. It takes two people to be in a relationship and you can't control other people. You can only control how you react to it. So, gonna be kind to Paige and me and yourselves and all of that good stuff. I am still processing everything, which is normal. I mean, [it was a] 3-year relationship; it's your best friend who you talk to all day every day; and then they're just gone."

Paige DeSorbo says that she "wasn't expecting" to break up with Craig Conover

Paige appeared on her podcast, Giggly Squad, on Dec. 30, where she shared that the both of them have changed a lot over the course of their relationship. "It's weird, obviously, it's weird. Like, it's very weird," she said. "I wasn't expecting this, obviously, when we first started dating, like you don't think, 'Oh what's going to happen? Will we get married, will we not? You just kind of are in this relationship, and as you get older — I mean, I started dating Craig when I was 29 and I'm 32 now."

She then reflected more on this time in her life and where she stands with Craig today. "Your thirties, for women, really are transformative and you change a lot and you grow a lot, and him as well," she continued. "Not to sound old traditional and old-fashioned, but this is not a situation where I have a 50-part series of like, 'Who the f-ck was I dating?' Like, could not be more opposite. I have so much love and respect for Craig. I think he is one of the best people I have ever met in my entire life. I will remain the biggest fan of him, and want the best for him."
