Craig Conover makes it clear that he was just as shocked about his breakup with his girlfriend as the fans Paige DeSorbo …says in an open video statement.
The “Southern Charm” star has broken his silence on the stunning split, which his ex-girlfriend and Bravo co-star announced on her “Giggly Squad” podcast in late December.
Craig apologizes for the delay in addressing fans in an update he posted to his Instagram Story … but admits his breakup was “very, very unexpected to say the least.”
He confirms that the fan-favorite couple called it quits right before the holidays… suggesting that Paige may have been the one who made the final decision as he was “very shocked” by it all.
Still, he doesn't hold any grudges toward his former flame and encourages fans to “be kind to Paige” during this time, he says.
As for himself, Craig admits he's “still processing everything”… which he says is normal considering he and Paige were together for three years. Still, he's ready to start living his life again… even if he's not ready to reveal more about the details of their breakup.
He adds… “One day I'll be able to talk about it more, but for now I just wanted to thank everyone for their kind messages.”
As TMZ previously reported … Paige updated fans on her and Craig The relationship was officially over – However, she emphasized that there was neither infidelity nor anything else negative that caused the split.
Paige said at the time that she and Craig had different visions for their future… which led to a tough but honest conversation between the two.
As the saying goes…all good things must come to an end.
