After Green alluded to the possibility of DeSorbo’s infidelity, Conover spoke out to discredit the claim. Green expressed her thoughts on their relationship during the season nine premiere of ‘Southern Charm’ on September 14. Conover and Green were talking about her unfaithful ex-boyfriend and Conover’s best friend, Shep Rose, when she made fun of DeSorbo’s possible infidelity.
In a statement to AND! News, Conover explained that Green was dealing with a lot of things and wasn’t over her breakup with Rose. He noted that Green was likely projecting her feelings onto his relationship, causing him to worry about her mental health. He said: ‘It was just sad for me because I think in that moment I realized how lost Taylor really is. I care about her and I was like, ‘Man, you’re really struggling.’
He then explained why Rose’s cheating and subsequent breakup hurt her. Conover said: “She thought she was going to marry Shep and he had cheated on her several times.”
He recalled being in Green’s shoes, saying, “I’ve been cheated on before.” That will really rock your world and everything you think you know about the world. So she has to deal with that.”

Conover recalled walking away while walking back and forth with Green. The star felt disrespected by her cheating claim about DeSorbo, with whom he has been dating for two years. Although he “wanted to help her,” Conover was unwilling to continue the conversation about DeSorbo.
The star then revealed that he and DeSorbo were too confident in their relationship to be shocked by such accusations. He explained, “I laughed a little bit because I was like, ‘Paige and I are just sitting on her couch and watching TV.’ It would be a little difficult for both of us to be secretive there. I don’t think that belongs to this area anymore.”
The “Sewing Down South” founder then recalled telling DeSorbo about the conversation and her reacting the same way he did.
“Obviously I had to tell Paige what someone said about her, but she reacted the same way,” he said. The star assured viewers he would avoid a clash with Green for the rest of the season.

Amid the drama of the cheating allegations, AND! News confirmed that Green is not yet over her divorce from Rose. The reality star confronted Conover about his relationship with Rose and his behavior toward her after their divorce. She revealed that she also felt hurt by Conover while dealing with the heartbreak.
Green explained in the preview that his approach to the breakup, “from her perspective,” was disappointing. She noted, “When the breakup happened when we broke up, you didn’t…” However, Conover cuts her off by adding that he tried to protect Green during the relationship. He remembered asking his friend to stop cheating on her. “Nobody did anything bad but him, and I’m the one who stopped it.”
The star continued to insist that Conover could have done more to discourage Rose’s behavior. Green revealed that he barely checked on her during the difficult time, and that only one of their mutual friends, Madison LeCroy, was there for her. “Madison, I’m not even best friends with Madison and she texted me. She texted me and said, “I hope you’re doing well.”
Craig Conover and Paige DeSorbo have different wedding plans

Although the two have built trust in their relationship, Conover still sometimes struggles to see eye-to-eye with DeSorbo. While the 34-year-old has revealed his plans to get married, DeSorbo, on the other hand, noted during the season that she wasn’t “trying to plan a wedding right now.”
Conover was upset about her response and asked, “Why should we date if we’re not going to take the next step?” Conover previously talked about his wedding plans in a conversation with AND! news, where he explained that he and DeSorbo had “different” wedding visions. At the time, he said he wanted to recreate a wedding in the Bahamas that he attended in the past.
“Everyone was barefoot… It was just so relaxed and everyone spent a week there.” However, he noted that his 30-year-old girlfriend wouldn’t be a fan of his view. He said, “I don’t think Paige wants a beach wedding,” adding that she planned to get married in Italy.
