‘I Have To Stay Alive’

Paige DeSorbo has been focusing on herself and her health following her recent breakup with Craig Conover. The Summer House star announced they were splitting up in late December 2024 and has spent the time since then discovering more about herself and what single life looks like for her.

It was truly heartbreaking. When Paige and Craig split, there were more than a few hearts that broke online. But alas, it looks like forever wasn’t in the cards for the duo and now Paige has been learning how to live solo again.

Paige DeSorbo says she naturally transitioned to single life

Breakups are hard for everyone but they are also the time to learn about yourself. During an episode of her podcast, Giggly Squad, the Summer House star and co-host Hannah Berner talked about how some women feel like it’s their job to “fix” the men they date. And Paige noted that this can lead to both partners ignoring their own needs.

Not that it looked like she needed to fix anything with the Southern Charm OG. If anything, she even once admitted that Craig was more of a hopeless romantic than her. He even admitted he wanted to marry her weeks before the split. Still, when you are so deeply entrenched in a relationship, you can lose sight of yourself.

“I think that’s why being single is so healthy,” Paige explained. “Because you get to learn what you want, what you need.” She added that being solo has led to her realizing new things about herself.

“I’ve only been single for a couple of months, but already, just in terms of my single life and my own personal life, I never wanted to work out,” she admitted. “Obviously you want to work out because you want to be hot or whatever. I never wanted to work out because I felt like I literally didn’t care about my body. I didn’t care if I was healthy and I didn’t care if I was strong. And then when I was single, I was like, ‘Oh no, I have to stay alive.’ You know?”

Paige added that they never thought she would be able to get into a routine solo, but that it came rather naturally and easily to her. “I’ve been working out three times a week and I haven’t even thought about it,” she shared. “It was very empowering for my own self to see and like, ‘Oh, I never thought I’d be able to quit that or start that up.’ So when you’re doing it naturally, you’re like, ‘Wait, I’m way stronger than I was giving myself credit for.’”

It looks like Paige is taking this time to learn about herself and create new habits for her life. And while we’re still sad about the breakup, it’s good she’s being good to herself in the aftermath.

Southern Charm airs Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo, while Summer House Season 9 premieres on Wednesday, February 12, at 9/8c on Bravo.
