UPDATE: In a dramatic turn of events during the premiere of Southern Charm Season 10, which aired tonight on Bravo, star Craig Conover publicly criticized his ex, Paige DeSorbo, for portraying him as the “villain” in their breakup. The explosive comments come just days after DeSorbo was spotted with new partner Joe D’Amelio.
Conover, who described feeling “betrayed” by DeSorbo—whom he trusted more than anyone—expressed his frustration during a revealing conversation with co-star Madison LeCroy. “I never did anything to deserve becoming the villain in her story, but she needs a villain,” he stated, indicating the emotional toll the breakup has taken on him.
In the wake of their split, Conover admitted to feeling “bummed” and uncertain after seeing DeSorbo move on so quickly. This prompted him to reconnect with Natalie Buffett, whom he met years ago in the Bahamas. However, he acknowledged that he may have rushed into things, stating he still had more healing to do before diving into another relationship.
Conover also shared insights about navigating life as a single man on the show, revealing that filming has been a unique experience. “What you’re watching is me just trying to navigate life in this new chapter,” he said, indicating that this was a situation he never anticipated. He described his current romantic life as a “love trapezoid,” hinting at complexities involving fellow cast member Salley Carson.
When asked about showmances, Conover expressed his preference for meeting potential partners on-screen. “With a town as small as Charleston, it’s really hard to find space to not develop feelings,” he noted. He believes that filming allows for deeper connections, even if it hasn’t worked out for him yet.
Viewers can catch all the latest drama and Conover’s journey on Southern Charm, which airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo. Episodes are available for streaming on Peacock the following day.
As this season unfolds, fans are left wondering how the dynamics will shift and what other revelations are in store for Conover and DeSorbo. Stay tuned as we continue to follow this developing story.
