Jon Hamm is weighing in on Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover's breakup.
While speaking with PEOPLE at the Your Friends & Neighbors premiere in New York City on April 8, the actor, 54, confessed he was Bravo fan and gave his opinion on the Bravo stars' decision to go their separate ways after three years of dating.
Though he was initially Team Craig, Hamm revealed he is now "reserving judgement until I get the whole story" as he's yet to catch up on the latest season of Summer House.
"My wife, in fact, got me into certain Bravo situations. Southern Charm was sort of a later addition to the world, and I spoke with Andy [Cohen] this morning," he explained, noting that Cohen encouraged him to take up watching Summer House to get more context.
"He said, 'Well, it's the whole story.' I was like, I saw the whole story. I saw it on Southern Charm. He goes, 'No, this is the whole story. But from Paige’s perspective,'" he recalled. "I said, 'Oh, all right, well maybe I'll have to check it out and give equal time to both sides of the story, because there's always two sides to every story.'"
In a December 2024 episode of her Giggly Squad podcast, DeSorbo announced that she and Conover had split, calling it "the right decision for both of us."

"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," she said of her ex. "But with that said, I think it was just the right decision for both of us moving forward in our lives and the direction in our lives that we didn’t force."
One week after the episode dropped, Conover broke his silence about their split and admitted that the breakup came as a surprise in a video shared to his Instagram Stories.
"[It happened] right before the holidays," he shared. "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."
"I’m still processing everything, which is normal," he continued. "It’s a three-year relationship, it’s your best friend who you talk to all day everyday, and then they’re just gone."
Conover has since moved on with someone new. While appearing on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen with his Southern Charm castmates Austen Kroll and Shep Rose on March 27, he confirmed he was dating "and I'm really happy."
"I tend to date only one person at a time, so I’ve been seeing someone and it’s been, I have been reminded that the universe works in crazy ways, but everything happens for a reason," he said of his new flame.
Your Friends and Neighbors premieres Friday, April 11 on Apple TV+. Summer House airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo and Southern Charm is available to stream on Peacock.
