Every Craig Conover and Paige DeSorbo ‘Southern Charm’ Season 10 Moment That Didn’t Age Well

Craig Conover and Paige DeSorbo were seemingly still in love when they filmed Southern Charm season 10 — but after breaking up, not all their onscreen interactions have aged well.

“My whole life is business now. That’s the fun stuff for me now,” Craig told Austen Kroll during season 10, episode 4, which aired in January. “Making money, getting healthy and f—ing my girlfriend.”

Craig’s life motto for season 10 — which was filmed before he and Paige parted ways in December 2024 after three years of dating — isn’t the only thing that makes Us do a double take watching it back.

Many of Craig’s plans were made with Paige in mind, including his choice to freeze his sperm and delay his vision of becoming a dad until she was ready. The two also were very relaxed about their hopes for marriage, which hits differently now that they aren’t a couple.

“She is doing housewife duties,” Madison LeCroy pointed out during episode 5 after Paige made floral arrangements for a party at Craig’s house. She then asked, “What about just engagement without being engaged?”

Craig responded that the duo were “basically” engaged — and Paige didn’t disagree.

Scroll down to see which of Craig and Paige’s comments from season 10 haven’t gotten better with age:

A Home for 2

“For Paige and I, time spent in the backyard, that’s our quality time,” Craig revealed during episode 3, which aired in December 2024, showing off his finished Charleston house. “When we first started dating, we were out and about all the time.”

He explained, “We just I guess [have] grown with each other. We’d rather spend the time at home relaxing than out partying. I built this sanctuary for us to be away from the world and be able to relax and connect.”

Putting His Sperm on Ice

Craig shocked pals Austen and Shep Rose during episode 4 when he revealed, “Me and Paige have decided to freeze my sperm.”

His conversation with Paige, however, was equally as surprising. “I was thinking about freezing my sperm,” Craig told his then-girlfriend. “That’s like the craziest thing in the world,” a stunned Paige said in response.

Craig went through with the process, telling his friends that it was Paige’s decision to hold off on having kids, confessing that “without any influence from Paige” he would have his own timeline. “You date a little while, then you get married, then you have kids,” he said.

Switching Up the Plan

During the same episode, Craig said, “I want kids one day. Have I ever told you that I want kids right now?” He claimed, “I never said I want kids right now.”

Austen, however, told the cameras, “Ever since I’ve known Craig, he’s wanted to get married, wanted to have kids.” Austen added, “I’m not entirely sold that Craig wants what Paige wants.”

Craig later confessed that his timeline had shifted after meeting the Summer House star. “The version of life that I saw myself living isn’t what I’m living, which is this stable home that I grew up with,” he told the cameras. “Every night at dinner, my mom and dad were there with my brother. I just loved that.”

He concluded: “But I think If you find the right person and they happen to be a feisty Italian from New York things aren’t always going to go how you have them planned.”

Sew What?

Paige was supportive of Craig’s Sewing Down South company throughout their romance. They even joked about his crafts during episode 4, which aired on January 2, while envisioning one of the rooms in his house.

“Don’t worry about me, you do what you want in that room,” Paige told Craig, who revealed he wanted the space to be “a multifunctional room where I can craft.”

Paige teased, “I want you to be able to hem things for me. It’s been three years, and you haven’t hemmed a single pair of freaking pants for me!”

While Paige was on board with a sewing nook, she shut down one of Craig’s more outlandish suggestions for the room. “What about a wrapping paper wall?” he asked to which Paige replied, “What the f—? No.”

Babies in the Bank

During episode 5, Craig joked about hosting a party to celebrate him freezing his sperm. He then revealed that he was leaving Paige his sperm if he dies, and she wants more kids.

“Is there a return policy,” she said with a laugh. Craig, however, was serious because of his dreams of their future.

“In the rom-com world that I live in, I die and you’re like, ‘But I still want to have his children,’” he said. Paige, however, noted she “would never do that.”

She argued, “What, I’m going to have a child and then actively not give them a dad?” Craig responded by saying he understood that, but “instead of throwing it away immediately” she would now have a “choice” and it was a “gift” from him.

The White Picket Fence

Craig and Shep had a heart-to-heart during episode 7, which aired on January 23, talking about his ups and downs with Paige. “You have been itching for this white picket fence existence. Now you have it,” Shep said, applauding Craig for his new life.

Craig admitted, “I think everyone knows, if it was up to me we would just get engaged. But she changes her mind a lot about stuff.”

He detailed Paige’s inner thoughts, explaining, “One day she’ll text me and say, ‘Let’s build a f—ing farmhouse in the middle of nowhere.’ Or like, ‘I’m moving to Charleston.’ Then she’ll have a good day in New York and be like, ‘I love it up here.’”

Shep asked if that’s “hard to hear” to which Craig confessed, “It gets confusing.” He added, “I think that’s life. It’s a bunch of decisions and compromise.”

Craig later told the cameras that he did have some reservations about going off of Paige’s timeline and not his own. “Me waiting a few years to have a kid, not a big deal. But what I’m risking is, ‘What if Paige wants to turn those couple years into 10 years?’” he asked.
