Things are getting messy after Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover’s split. In December 2024, Paige revealed to her Giggly Squad podcast listeners that she and Craig had broken up, which was a “shock” to Craig. A month later, she was spotted attending a Philadelphia Eagles NFL game with a mystery man.
News outlets, like gossip site DuexMoi, have suggested that the mystery man is Joe D’Ameilo, the senior vice president of football marketing at Klutch Sports. In fact, these same sites also alleged that Paige and Joe are getting serious.
On an episode of Watch What Happens Live, Southern Charm’s Austen Kroll shockingly revealed that “rumors” of Paige dating again might be true. However, Paige quickly entered the chat to slam her fellow reality TV co-star.

Austen Kroll Admitted That “Rumors” Paige DeSorbo Moved On Quickly From Craig Conover Weren’t Exactly “Rumors”
After Southern Charm Season 10, Episode 8 aired, Austen Kroll and Patricia Altschul were guests on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. It was not surprising that the reality stars were bombarded with questions with regard to their co-star Craig Conover and his recent split from Paige DeSorbo. However, what was surprising was Austen not holding back on his thoughts about their breakup and those “rumors” that Paige was already seeing someone new.
During a fan Q&A, Austen was asked, “What do you think of the rumors that Paige has moved on with another guy following her breakup with Craig?” Austen, who continues to have an up and down relationship with his podcast host in Season 10, boldly proclaimed:
“I don’t think those are rumors. I think that they’ve been substantiated, and I think that Craig knows as such.”
Austen continued, “You know, he didn’t know for a minute, but yeah, I think that he’s fully come to terms with that. That’s not a rumor.”
Anyone who watched the clip couldn’t believe how straightforward Austen was regarding the rumors that Paige was already in another relationship. It was certainly a bold move. In fact, Andy even had a shocked reaction to the TV star’s answer.
It also appeared that Paige was just as shocked at Austen’s answer. Known to find herself in the comment section when people are discussing her private life lately, she commented on the clip on WWHL’s Instagram account.
“Ahhh yes a man I haven’t spoken To in 6 months knows exactly what I’m doing.”
After Paige commented on Austen’s comments, several Instagram users pointed out that the Southern Charm star is a known “s*** stirrer.” Was he defending his friend or just acting ruthless?

Will Taylor Ann Green Redeem Herself This Season On Southern Charm?
Ever since Taylor Ann Green’s secret make-out session with Austen Kroll played out last season on Southern Charm, fans and co-stars have been weary of Taylor and her motives. This season, Taylor is trying to redeem herself, especially in light of her new relationship. But do you think it’s enough to erase the bad taste she left last season? Or will she always be remembered for making out with her best friend’s ex?
Patricia Altschul Called Paige “Mean” On Watch What Happens Live
Miss Patricia Also Called Craig Conover’s Ex, Naomie Olindo “Mean”
The lovely Patricia Altschul also didn’t hold back on Craig and Paige’s breakup on WWHL. Andy asked both Austen and Miss Patricia if they “were surprised” over Craig and Paige split.
Austen was first to answer. “Was I surprised? I feel like, I know it’s a blah kind of answer, but the writing was on the wall. And I knew something was amiss for a month or so before I heard the news.”
Again, Andy appeared completely off-guard with Austen’s answer. However, what may have shocked viewers was Miss Patricia’s thoughts on the split. Known to make judgments of her fellow cast members, the Charleston socialite not only called Paige “mean,” but also shared that Craig’s ex, Naomie Olindo, was also “mean” during their relationship.
“I thought that Paige was mean to Craig. I did. And if you think back, Naomie [Olindo] was mean to Craig.”
She continued, “And I think he deserves somebody who would really love and cherish him. Because remember, he said to [Paige] ‘I want to get married and have kids’ and she said, ‘Bleh?'”
Austen then replied, agreeing with Miss Pat. “I mean, she definitely was the dominate person in the relationship. That’s a nice way of saying it.” Ouch.

Paige Told Her Giggly Squad Podcast Listeners She Was Single
Meanwhile, Craig Conover Has A Raya Profile
On the January 15 episode of her and co-star Hannah Berner’s Giggly Squad podcast, the Summer House star told her listeners that she was single, despite ongoing reports that she was seeing someone new.
Paige detailed that being single in her 30’s was “weird.”
“We’re not in our twenties anymore, so not that you can’t be single like you were in your twenties, you can do whatever you want, but it’s almost like you don’t want to be. When I got single at 28, I was like, ‘Catch me at every single club that exists in New York City,’ and I was there. You could find me in a club. Now I’m like, ‘I would pass away if I went to a club until 4 a.m. Like, I’d literally pass away. So, it is weird thinking of, ‘What am I going to do being single?'”
Paige added that she had “done a couple of dinners with my girlfriends. I haven’t gone out out yet.” In a later episode on their joint podcast, Paige shared that she had been “single for a couple months.”
So, while Paige can just be hanging out with friends—who are men—Craig seems to already be jumping into the dating pool.
In late January, Us Weekly reported that the Southern Charm star was on the exclusive dating app Raya. Craig’s profile notes that he is “based in Charleston and often visits New York.” As for his interests, Craig reportedly wrote “elephants and snowboarding.”
