Southern Charm Season 10 Reunion Highlights: Craig Opens Up About His Split from Paige

The Southern Charm reunion for season 10 was full of revelations, particularly from Craig Conover, who provided a candid account of his recent breakup with Paige DeSorbo.

“I didn’t think it was real,” Craig told host Andy Cohen during part 1 of the reunion, which aired on Thursday, March 27, reflecting on his split from Paige in November 2024.

Craig mentioned that despite telling Andy on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen in December 2024 that he and Paige were still an item, she had already ended things.

“After WWHL, I went to her apartment to clarify, ‘What’s going on?’ And she said, ‘I’m probably making the worst mistake of my life, but I need to find myself,’” Craig recounted.

Craig further revealed that when he asked Paige, “What should I do with your [engagement] ring?” she replied, “Keep it. Maybe we’ll get married at BravoCon!”

He wasn’t the only Southern Charm star to share deep feelings during part 1 of the reunion. Keep reading for the essential insights, including why Jarrett “JT” Thomas earned the “f— boy” label from his peers.

Craig Discusses the Breakup Timeline

“To be fair, she broke up with me over the phone [in November],” Craig clarified, adding, “I didn’t take it that way initially.”

He remained hopeful that the breakup wasn’t “real” until late 2024. “I [had] been feeling off throughout December,” Craig reflected, noting, “We kept in contact during December.”

It wasn’t until “two days before” New Year’s Eve that Paige texted him, telling him she had publicly shared their breakup on her “Giggly Squad” podcast. “Then all my belongings appeared on my porch. At that moment, it became real,” Craig concluded.

Craig Claims Paige Has Changed

“In my eyes, the person she has been since the breakup isn’t the woman I remember dating,” stated the Sewing Down South founder. “She’s feuding with people in the comments. She’s started making derogatory comments about me based on online opinions.”

He emphasized, “I’m like, ‘I didn’t do anything to you.’ Sure, I wasn’t the perfect boyfriend. I had my issues to sort out [but that’s it].” Craig remarked, “This breakup has been quite interesting, to say the least.”

Was There Another Man Involved?

When Andy questioned whether Paige ended their relationship for another man amidst rumors linking her to multiple guys since their 2024 split, Craig firmly denied it.

“I asked her, ‘Please just tell me if you’re seeing someone else?’” Craig recalled. “She responded, ‘Craig, I’m not talking to or dating anyone.’ Then she shared some unexpected thoughts.”

Craig clarified that what Paige said wasn’t exactly “crazy,” but she allegedly asked him, “‘Why didn’t you try to win me back?’ I told her, I have been trying to win you back. That’s not fair.”

He went on, “Then she said, ‘I think it’s evident we both made the right choice.’ I replied, ‘We didn’t make this choice.’” Craig admitted he didn’t “beg” Paige to reconsider because, “I understood you shouldn’t be with someone you have to beg to be with.”

Madison and JT Resolve Their Issues — Sort Of

Throughout season 10, Jarrett “JT” Thomas faced accusations of stirring drama, particularly when he allegedly suggested that Madison LeCroy’s husband, Brett Randle, believed he had an “affair” with her during a prior group getaway and was “jealous.”

Madison confronted JT over his supposed remarks during the show, and when they were reunited, JT clarified that his FaceTime conversation with Madison and Brett off-camera was solely about their “whereabouts” during the recent trip.

JT’s reluctance to discuss what made him uneasy about conversing with Madison and Brett led to speculation, which in turn prompted Madison to yell at him on camera. “You need to recognize my family; I will go to war for them. I apologize for taking it too far,” Madison told JT.

JT replied, “I’ll take responsibility for my misstep in discussing matters that didn’t need to be brought up.”

He then began to say, “If I were married and my wife and I called you, and she deposed you, it could make you uncomfortable.” Madison interrupted, asking him not to go there. When JT attempted to shift the discussion again, she fired back, “You were dragging this out, so we will finish it.” After that, they just stopped talking.

The Sienna Situation

Andy described Shep Rose’s breakup with Sienna Evans as a “slow car crash that we were all watching.” Shep, on his part, acknowledged that he fell hard but realized in hindsight that he didn’t meet all her expectations — one being financial stability. (Shep and Sienna’s relationship came to an end in the summer of 2024, and viewers witnessed their decline during the cast trip to the Bahamas.)

“She reached out to me recently and said, ‘You’re sharing personal details of our relationship,’” Shep recounted. “She said, ‘I didn’t sign up for this.’ I responded, ‘Yeah, you did.’”

Molly and Shep Hint at a Hookup

During the season 10 finale, Molly O’Connell and Shep shared a kiss at the pre-summer party. They confirmed during the reunion that they had slept together that same night and “one more” time before he left town for the majority of the summer and fall. “We had some adult fun,” Shep shared.

Madison shared that this version of Shep is someone she wouldn’t mind seeing her friend Molly date. Molly, in turn, expressed pride in Shep for “actively trying to better” himself, but as of now, the stars haven’t aligned.

JT Under Scrutiny

After the season 10 finale was filmed, JT briefly dated Venita Aspen. Venita clarified during the reunion that they were together in the fall of 2024, but once she found out he had resumed his relationship with his girlfriend Ali Pereless, she ceased communication with JT.

“It’s a really complicated situation,” JT stated when questioned about Venita. He then fumbled his words before asserting that Venita “knew the whole time” he had a girlfriend. “Don’t do me like that,” Venita retorted, denying that she was aware of his simultaneous relationships.

Salley Carson swiftly supported Venita, asking JT, “Who’s the f— boy now?” Austen Kroll added, “My how the tables have turned.” (JT performed a “f— boy exorcism” on Austen, which Austen did not appreciate.)

JT joked, “I didn’t f— her, so I don’t think I am,” which displeased the entire cast. “That is f—ed up,” Madison remarked, while Salley pointed out that JT “hid” his girlfriend, which is precisely what a f— boy would do.
