Southern Charm Season 10 Finale: Craig Conover’s Heartfelt Revelation on His Breakup with Paige DeSorbo
The season 10 finale of Southern Charm aired on March 20, 2025, culminating in a poignant moment where Craig Conover opened up about his breakup with Paige DeSorbo, a fellow Bravo star. This episode has become a topic of heavy discussion among fans and viewers alike.
Breakup Announcement and Aftermath
The news of Craig and Paige’s separation first emerged in December 2024 when Paige revealed it during a podcast episode. The finale featured a brief exploration of Craig’s emotional state post-breakup as the cameras captured the aftermath of the split. In conversations with cast members Shep Rose and Austen Kroll, Craig expressed that he was prepared to meet Paige’s desires, including discussions of marriage and raising children in New York, before their relationship came to an end.
Fan Reactions and Criticism of Producers
Following the finale, social media buzzed with reactions from fans who were dissatisfied with how the producers handled the breakup storyline. Many noted that Craig’s dialogue during the breakup was insufficiently lengthy to capture the depth of the emotional context.
“Producers did Craig’s no favors with that breakup story edit lol 2 minutes of him rambling, Austen and Shep looking suspicious lol.”
One viewer articulated their disappointment on X:
“WTF?? We got half an episode of #SummerHouse focused on the fallout from Lindsay & Carl’s breakup, and their whole relationship was a scam! I can’t believe we only got 3 minutes of Craig talking to Shep & Austen about Paige breaking up with him. So lame.”
This sentiment was echoed by numerous fans who felt that the breakup segment was rushed compared to other storylines throughout the season.
Insightful Commentary from Viewers
Fans also shared their opinions on the dynamics between Craig and Paige. Some pointed out that Paige may have inadvertently contributed to the public perception of Craig, stating:
“Paige made a mistake lol. She created the Craig image that she thought would work for her in that moment – he followed her instructions so well people forgot who he was lmao.”
Others expressed that despite Craig’s reliance on his friends for advice regarding the relationship, it may not have been constructive given their own situations.
Craig’s Emotional Farewell: “I Need to Find Myself”
During the finale, Craig recounted his breakup conversation with Paige, revealing they had shared a positive Thanksgiving with her family just weeks before the split. However, he was taken aback when Paige reached out with the need to talk.
“I was like, ‘I can’t believe this was happening,’ and it was really calm. She’s like, ‘I need to like, find myself,'”
Craig continued to explain that Paige wanted to reclaim control over her life, leading to their decision to part ways. His immediate inclination was to confide in Shep and Austen, underscoring the trust and support among the friends during this emotional time.
Despite the raw discussion of emotions and the nature of their split, fans expressed their frustrations over the limited airtime given to this significant storyline. Viewers were particularly keen to understand more about Craig’s feelings and perspective.
