Craig Conover and Paige DeSorbo ended their relationship at the end of 2024, but they’re still going through a lot of emotions today.
“Fortunately, I didn’t stab my walls during this breakup, so,” Craig joked to Madison LeCroy during the Southern Charm After Show.
And although Paige shot down Craig’s suggestion of a wrapping paper station in his home during Season 10 of Southern Charm, Madison reassured him that he’d find a woman who shares his dreams.
“I just want you to know there’s going to be a girl that wants a [wrapping paper] station because that’s sick! I love it!” Madison told him.
Craig also shared the last gift he got Paige before their break-up.
"I’m actually a really good gift giver — I just want to put that out there," Craig Conover said proudly. "Honestly, I did a great job for her birthday. Want to know what I got her? A bag from The Row."
He paused for a moment, then smiled: "Pretty solid, right? It was worth $30,000. Definitely a birthday gift to remember.
Craig shares Paige's reaction to her birthday gift before their split
Madison strongly approved of Craig’s gift of a bag from The Row, telling him, “That is good.”
The Row is a luxury fashion label created by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olson, that carries clothing, shoes, handbags and accessories.
Craig revealed he was paying attention in their relationship and knew just what to gift Paige.
“She said, ‘How do you know about The Row?’ I said, ‘I heard you talking about it once!’” Craig joked with Madison.
What gifts did Craig get Paige during their relationship?
A luxury handbag is actually a pretty “normal” gift from Craig, it turns out. In December 2022, he got Paige a picture of the late music legend Johnny Cash for the holidays—but confirmed she never took the photo out of the cellophane, and the photo just sat in a room.
“Here’s what I’ve learned with Craig: He wants to get me stuff and I love that quality in him,” Paige said during the January 5, 2024 broadcast of Craig and Austen Kroll’s podcast Pillows and Beer. “I appreciate that he wants to be so thoughtful, and he wants to give me such a good Christmas. So, I started just texting [him], ‘Hey, I’m a size 7 in these, I love this piece of jewelry, these are things that I think you should buy.’ But then he likes to add in his own (ideas).”
But Johnny Cash isn’t even the most unusual gift Craig got for his Summer House girlfriend. During the 2023 holidays, Craig got her two presents she picked out herself, but then added a “big gift.”
"He goes, ‘We are going to Cincinnati, Ohio. And we’re going to the zoo,'" she recalled on the podcast. "'And, yup, you guessed it: We’re brushing a hippopotamus’ teeth.’"
Craig claimed Paige once told him she wanted to brush a hippo’s teeth, and he thought, “I’m going to make that happen for her,” but Paige denied that she ever wanted to do this.
Don’t miss Craig sharing more details of his split with Paige, including his admission, “All my stuff just showed up on my porch one day.”
