Kyle Cooke & Amanda Batula Address Paige DeSorbo & Craig Conover Breakup Rumors
Don't worry, Bravoholics: Craig Conover and Paige DeSorbo are still very much charmed by each other.
In fact, the Southern Charm star spoke out for the first time about rumors and internet chatter speculating that he and the Summer House star had broken up after three years of dating.
"I don't know where that came from, because we're together, like, every week," Craig exclusively told E! News at the show's season 10 premiere party. "So, no, Paige and I are not broken up. We're still together." (Watch E! News tonight, Dec. 9, at 11 p.m. for more exclusive interviews with the cast.)
The Pillows & Beer podcast cohost also shot down speculation the couple were planning to call it quits on camera for ratings.
"Why would we do that?!" he questioned. "Remember back in high school when people would gossip? Like, I got most dramatic in high school. I'm a huge gossiper, but just don't take everything so seriously."
Craig was even more surprised by the rumors given that they have had zero relationship problems as of late.
"If I would have given you a reason for that rumor to start, then I think I would have to defend it," he noted. "But I don't think me and Paige did anything."
However, Bravo fans shouldn't hold their breath for an engagement any time soon.

"I don't have a ring," Craig admitted to E!. "I would like to one day. I'm having a lot of fun challenging myself in New York City now. The company's going really well in Charleston. I just don't wanna cut off everything that we're both doing. We're on these parallel paths and it's really exciting. I can't wait to see what she accomplishes."
But two relationships of Craig's that are going through some turmoil? His longstanding friendships with costars Shep Rose and Austen Kroll, as was teased in the dramatic season 10 trailer.
"We're like brothers. If we hang out too much, we're gonna get into a fight. At least me and Shep," Craig explained. "But we're doing well. What I hope we're gonna see this season is three friends that could walk away and it would probably be easier, but we have so much love and history that we would rather put the work in to save our friendship."
Watch E! News tonight, Dec. 9, at 11 p.m. for more exclusive interviews with the Craig and his costars. Southern Charm airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. on Bravo.
