Craig Conover and Paige DeSorbo
bravo(2)Craig Conover for real southern charm about his family plans Peggy Desorbo — and the steps he took to one day become a father — before they gave up.
“Paige and I decided to freeze my sperm,” Craig, 35, told friends Austin Kroll and Shep Ross Thursday, January 2, in an episode of the Bravo series, which is set to film in the summer of 2024.
During the episode, Craig also surprised his then-girlfriend Paige by telling her that his choice was to ensure they would be able to have children one day. (Paige, 32, announced her split from Craig days before the episode aired.)
“I’m thinking about freezing my sperm,” Craig explains to Paige, sitting in his Charleston backyard. “That’s like the craziest thing in the world,” Paige replied in surprise.
Jordan Strauss/Bravo On the latest episode of Southern Charm , Craig Conover admitted that his desire to become a father made him consider breaking up with Paige DeSorbo. “I’m sitting there waiting for her to decide if she’s ready to move in together,” Craig, 34, told friend Rodrigo Reyes on the show’s Thursday, Nov. 9 episode […]
Despite the clear shock on Page’s face, Craig presses on with the idea, and the camera follows him to the sperm bank where he does business.
During Thursday’s episode, Craig continued to outline his plans to start a family with Paige while chatting with Austin, 37, and Shep, 44.
“I read about this guy who got into a car accident… and they couldn’t have another baby,” Craig told his friends. “I would be remiss if I didn’t say that becoming a father, whatever it’s called, if it had to happen in my future.”

When asked whose idea it was to delay starting a family, Craig said it was Paige. He claimed that once she decided they would wait, “it made sense to me.”
However, Craig admitted that “without any influence from Paige” he would have his own timeline: “You date for a while, then you get married, then you have kids.”
The Sewing Down South creator insisted that he and Page, who had been dating for three years at the time of filming the scene, would get married and have children “one day” but that for now they were trying to “make as much money as possible” “. “
“One day I want kids. Did I ever tell you I wanted kids now?” Craig told Austin, claiming: “I never said I wanted kids now. “
However, Austin told the cameras: “Ever since I’ve known Craig, he’s wanted to get married and have kids.” Austin admitted, “I’m not entirely convinced that Craig wants what Paige wants.”
The fear is real. Paige DeSorbo broke down in tears while talking about her future with Craig Conover after the two disagreed on their engagement date. “I want to talk to you about us,” Craig, 34, joked to his girlfriend Paige, 30, on the Monday, April 10, episode of Summer House. […]
Meanwhile, Craig admitted that his own timeline has changed due to his relationship with Page. “The version of my life that I see is not my current life, but this stable home that I grew up in,” he tells the camera. “My mom and dad were with my brother every night at dinner. I just loved it.
“But I think if you find the right people and they happen to be active Italians from New York, things don’t always go the way you plan,” he explains.
Craig and Paige sparked romance in summer 2021 after co-starring in the first season of Love Story winter house. In early December 2024, Craig put the breakup rumors to rest, but a few weeks later Page confirmed they had parted ways before the holidays.
Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover opened up about their long-distance relationship before splitting in December 2024. “We spend as much time together as possible, and we’re very patient with each other,” Conover told Us Weekly exclusively at the October 2024 Hayao Fan Festival in London. “We’re in a great place and luckily New York and […]
“Craig and I have decided not to be together anymore,” summer house star appeared on the Monday, December 30 episode of “She and Hannah Burner’s “Giggly Squad” podcast. “I love him and I think he loves me. I think we’ll still be friends. No one’s doing anything. That’s not a bad thing. I think we’re both very mature and say what we want and what we don’t want.” What, and I think being able to express in real time how you feel and what you want for the future is very powerful.
Before their split, a source exclusively revealed US Weekly Craig “is ready for the next step and plans to propose.” However, living in different cities – Craig in Charleston and Paige in New York – proved too much for the couple to overcome.
“Page doesn’t want to move to Charleston and it’s never going to work out in the long run,” a person familiar with the matter said on Tuesday, Dec. 31. .
