High-Stakes Drama Unfolds: Paige DeSorbo and Ex Craig Conover Clash Over Ownership of Her $1M NYC Apartment - lulu

   

Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover's Relationship TimelineThe cozy West Village apartment that once felt like a sanctuary for Paige DeSorbo has now become the setting of a bitter, cold legal dispute. After three years of love, laughter, and countless appearances on reality TV, Paige and Craig Conover have officially gone their separate ways. But instead of a quiet, dignified breakup, their love story is ending with a legal fight over what many assumed belonged solely to Paige—the apartment she bought with her own money.

According to close friends, Paige was blindsided when she received a formal notice from Craig’s legal team. In that document, Craig requested a “fair share” of the apartment’s value, citing that he had poured tens of thousands of dollars into renovations and “investments into their shared life” throughout the time they lived together. Paige, reportedly stunned and hurt, was quick to shut it down. As one close friend explained, the apartment had always been in her name, purchased in 2020—before Craig was even a part of her life.

Craig’s claims include a long list of expenses: $17,000 for kitchen renovations, $9,500 for bathroom upgrades, and over $6,000 for a surround sound system and designer decor—gifts he once proudly gave Paige for Christmas. In Craig’s eyes, these were “investments in a future together.” But to Paige, they were simply gestures from a boyfriend trying to make their time in New York more comfortable. He had, after all, always insisted he didn’t need to be on the lease—"I’m a Charleston guy," he once said with a smirk.

Fans of Summer House and Southern Charm were quick to resurface old clips and clues. In Season 7 of Summer House, Craig was caught on camera joking, “You should really put my name on that deed.” At the time, Paige laughed it off. But now, that moment feels less like a harmless quip and more like a quiet warning.

From Craig’s side, some sources say he feels hurt and cast aside—cut out from the life he once shared with Paige so publicly. One insider claimed he wasn’t simply after the money but wanted recognition for his presence and contribution. "He lived there. He helped build that home. Now he’s being treated like he never existed," they said.

But Paige is not buying it. On her latest podcast episode, her voice stayed calm, but her words sliced sharp. "Some people come into your home, rearrange your space, gift you things you didn’t ask for, and then claim they co-own the whole damn thing," she said. "No, sir. You were a guest with opinions."

 

This isn’t the first time Craig has been caught up in financial drama. He’s previously admitted to struggling with business management during the early days of his pillow company Sewing Down South. In 2021, a friend accused him of withholding a $10,000 repayment from a failed joint business venture.

As for Paige, her fans say she’s handling things with quiet strength. A close friend shared, “Paige played the cool girlfriend role for too long. Now she’s learning to protect herself—her heart and her home.”

What began as Bravo’s golden crossover couple—Paige from Summer House, Craig from Southern Charm—has unraveled into legal letters, renovation receipts, and uncomfortable podcasts. Their romance didn’t just end. It cracked open a reality many women face: love may be shared, but ownership should never be assumed.

The apartment still stands, silent as ever, its white walls once adorned with shared photos and dreamy plans. But instead of laughter, it now echoes with lawyers, invoices, and one hard-earned lesson: boyfriends may come and go, but mortgage payments stay—and love doesn't entitle you to a title deed.
