Craig Conover is still “shocked” over the end of his relationship with Paige DeSorbo.

After the Summer House star, 32, announced that they called it quits on their three-year relationship, the Southern Charm star, 35, is speaking out about their decision to go their separate ways.

“I figured it’s finally time to check in with everyone, sorry about the delay,” Craig said in a video shared to Instagram Jan. 7. “This has all been very, very unexpected, to say the least.”

The Bravo star went on to note that he’s still navigating his “new normal,” confirming the breakup came right before the holidays.

“I was very shocked and it’s ok, it takes two people to be in a relationship,” he added. “You can’t control other people you can only control how you react to it.”

That said, Craig also wants everyone to extend grace to his now-ex.

“I’m still processing everything, which is normal, I mean, three-year relationship, it’s your best friend who you talk to all day, every day and then they’re just gone,” he noted. “So one day I’ll be able to talk more on it but right now I just wanted to thank everyone for their kind messages.”
