Paige DeSorbo has shed light on her tumultuous relationship with ex-boyfriend Craig Conover during the reunion special for Season 9 of Summer House, revealing that Craig was asked to leave Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula’s wedding due to disruptive behavior. During the episode, which aired on June 4, Paige, now 32, confirmed that Craig was indeed kicked out of the reception, stating, “Absolutely, he was asked not to return to the backyard.” This incident occurred after their split, which was announced in late 2024 following three years of dating.
Amanda Batula, who married Kyle in September 2021, supported Paige’s claims, recalling that Craig was specifically told to leave their property. Paige mentioned waking up the next day and insisting that Craig apologize to the Batulas for the scene he caused, saying he “absolutely refused” to do so. Paige described Craig’s behavior at the wedding as “belligerently drunk,” noting he was throwing tantrums and disregarding the couple’s requests for guests to remain outside.
Previously, rumors had circulated regarding Craig’s ejection from the event, which were fueled by Danielle Olivera, a former castmate who admitted to sharing the story, calling it “juicy.” This past summer, Paige expressed her frustration with Danielle’s actions on the reunion, explaining that they had a code among cast members about not leaking personal stories about each other.
Craig, for his part, denied being kicked out of the wedding, claiming the story was fabricated and insisted that he was merely told he shouldn’t return to the reception area. The topic of Craig’s departure has also been echoed by Kyle Cooke, who stated in March that Craig’s version of events was untrue, asserting, “Make no mistake, the guy got kicked out of my wedding.”
Following the chaotic events surrounding their breakup and the wedding incident, Paige revealed during the reunion that her views on Craig shifted after he allegedly refused to help clear her name regarding the rumors. She articulated her relief over the split, stating, “I made the right decision” and highlighted the emotional stress she felt while dating him.
Despite the challenging end to their relationship, Paige shared a bright note about her current dating life. She mentioned she is actively dating, although it’s “nothing serious” at the moment, signaling a new chapter for her post-split. Meanwhile, Craig has reportedly moved on with model Natalie Buffett.
This saga illustrates not just the complexity of relationships intensified by media scrutiny, but also serves as a reminder of the importance of respect and clarity in romantic partnerships. As Paige navigates her new dating life, fans remain curious about the evolving dynamics within the Summer House group and their personal lives.
