It didn’t take Craig Conover too long to find a new flame in Natalie Buffett — but what does his ex-girlfriend Paige DeSorbo think about him moving on so quickly?
“Paige isn’t fazed by Craig dating,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly, noting that the Summer House star, 32, doesn’t have time to think about Conover, 36, and his love life when she’s busy with work and her own personal life.
According to the insider, DeSorbo “has been open to dating again, but is really focused on work.”
In addition to starring on Bravo’s Summer House, DeSorbo cohosts the “Giggly Squad” podcast with BFF Hannah Berner and is a fashion correspondent. DeSorbo has also recently upped her fashion collabs and starred in several commercials.
“It will take someone extremely special to be able to tie her down,” the source shares, claiming, “She’s a hot commodity and people are always trying to date her.”
DeSorbo, who broke up with Conover in late November 2024, isn’t ready to settle back down after ending her three-year relationship.
“Paige is super motivated, and career focused and doesn’t want to be bogged down in a relationship right now,” the insider tells Us, explaining, “Paige wants to have a fun summer and is doing what she wants right now.”
DeSorbo announced in December 2024 that she and Conover called it quits after more than three years together. In the months that followed, she was rumored to be linked to several men, but publicly denied she’d moved on romantically.
DeSorbo also denied in February that she was unfaithful to Conover during their relationship. Conover, for his part, also denied cheating on DeSorbo after she claimed during a Summer House episode that she caught him texting other women when they were together.
DeSorbo and Conover’s breakup has been a topic of conversation on both season 10 of Southern Charm and season 9 of Summer House — even though they both filmed before the split transpired.
During the Southern Charm season finale, which aired in March, cameras showed the aftermath of DeSorbo calling off her and Conover’s relationship. Conover claimed in the episode, which was filmed in January, that he bought DeSorbo an engagement ring, but she told him to “hold off” on proposing.
Conover further alleged that he “offered to move to New York” to be with DeSorbo, but she reportedly told him, “You will resent me forever if you have to live this life in New York.”
While Conover claimed during the season 10 Southern Charm reunion on Thursday, March 27, that he “wasn’t a perfect boyfriend,” he confessed that DeSorbo’s actions post-breakup surprised him.
That same night, Conover appeared on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen and teased his new romance. “I’m very happy,” he said at the time, noting, “When I date, I tend to date only one person at a time.”
Conover didn’t reveal the woman’s identity, but explained, “I’ve been seeing someone. I’ve been reminded that the universe works in crazy ways, and everything happens for a reason.”
Us confirmed on Friday, March 28, that Conover’s mystery girl is Buffett, 27, a model and social media influencer. Prior to her romance with Conover, Buffett dated Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and MLB pitcher Jack Flaherty.
DeSorbo, meanwhile, hasn’t publicly spoken about dating anyone new since her and Conover’s split. However, she revealed in January that she was preparing to freeze her eggs for her own peace of mind.
“When I first decided to freeze my eggs, it wasn’t like, ‘Oh my God, my career!’ I genuinely thought that at 32 I would have a kid,” DeSorbo explained on her “Giggly Squad” podcast. “But always in the back of my head I was, like, what if I get to 39, 40, and I’m like, ‘Wait, I want one more.’”
Now, she said, “It’s different. I need it as a security … but it’s making me relax a little bit though, knowing that I’m doing it.”
