Paige DeSorbo set the record straight on the timeline of her breakup from ex Craig Conover after facing “baseless” cheating rumors.

“I never, in the three years that I dated my ex-boyfriend, I never physically cheated on him, emotionally cheated on him,” the “Summer House” star said during Monday’s episode of her “Giggly Squad” podcast.

“Can you mentally cheat on him? … I don’t know, but I didn’t,” she added.

The 32-year-old Bravolebrity then clarified that she and Conover, 36, broke up one month before she announced their split on her show in December 2024.

“Since no one’s sticking up for me on the other side … I will say that Craig and I broke up Thanksgiving weekend. OK? That’s at the end of November,” DeSorbo told her listeners.

“Craig then went on and did press for ‘Southern Charm,’ did whatever he needed to do, acting as if we were still together. And that was fine. I said that he could do that. He was processing in his own way.”

However, after Christmas passed, DeSorbo noticed that Conover was “presenting himself as single” while on a trip, which led her to believe he was ready to announce their split.

She claimed that she texted him to give him a heads-up that she would be sharing the news on “Giggly Squad” to “start moving forward.”

“My text went unanswered, fine,” DeSorbo said. “[The breakup] episode came out … at the end of December.”

DeSorbo — who dated Conover for three years — then said that the “narrative” surrounding their breakup “took a turn really quickly” as cheating rumors went viral.

Despite recently being linked to a new man, the reality star stated that she’s currently single.

“Let me say this here and now, I did not move on with some new guy. I am single. I don’t have a new boyfriend,” the podcast host said.

“I did not cheat on my ex-boyfriend. And it was a full month that we were broken up, and I didn’t say anything because even though we are public, there are certain things that I think should remain private, and he asked me not to say anything.”

DeSorbo also claimed she asked Conover for help putting the cheating rumors to rest, however, he declined her request.

“So any of the other baseless rumors … that have my name in them, they are not true,” she doubled down.

The TV personality further explained that she decided to call it quits with Conover after taking “inventory” of their relationship.

“No one was blindsided. No one was cheated on,” DeSorbo said, adding that she doesn’t want to be viewed as the “victim” or the “villain.”

Conover’s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
