DeSorbo’s comments come after her split from Craig Conover, a fellow reality television personality known for *Southern Charm*. The couple’s decision to part ways was made public during a December 2024 episode of her podcast, where DeSorbo shared her feelings on the unexpected turn in her romantic life.
At that time, she expressed, “It’s weird, it’s very weird. I wasn’t expecting this.” She reflected on their relationship, which began during the inaugural season of Bravo’s *Winter House*, and was punctuated by a three-year romance. “I have so much love and respect for Craig,” she noted, acknowledging him as one of the best individuals she has encountered. Despite their separation, DeSorbo conveyed that they wished each other well as they navigated their individual paths.
In the months following her breakup, DeSorbo indicated that she was maintaining a level of independence and wasn’t rushing into a new relationship. By April 2025, she stated, “I’m definitely not jumping into anything serious right now.” Rather, she focused on her personal growth and career prospects, allowing herself to enjoy life on her own terms. The 33-year-old mentioned that she was enjoying her time with friends, even partaking in numerous social outings and trips.
Reflecting further on her post-breakup life, DeSorbo mentioned her enthusiasm for singlehood, sharing that she had embarked on two girls’ trips and was frequently dining out with friends. The joys of dating and casual interactions were front and centre for her at that time, as she stated, “I’m definitely dating and texting back.”
DeSorbo’s co-host, Hannah Berner, has also expressed interest in her love life, suggesting during an appearance on *Today With Jenna & Friends* that DeSorbo should consider a “slightly older man.” This sparked a playful yet meaningful discussion about age and preference, where DeSorbo entertained the idea of dating someone around 43 years old, to which co-hosts and audiences responded with curiosity.
The unfolding of DeSorbo’s romantic journey is indicative of a popular dynamic in reality television—where personal lives are very much part of the public narrative, but the need for privacy remains significant. “It’s just been really nice to not have to talk about it on TV,” she reiterated, highlighting a desire for a more intimate relationship outside the reality spotlight.
As her relationship continues to develop, fans of DeSorbo can look forward to updates about her journey both personally and professionally, as she balances the demands of fame with her need for genuine connections. Her openness about her experiences provides a relatable perspective on modern dating and the complexities that come with it.
With her career as a podcast host and television personality thriving, DeSorbo embodies a modern woman’s navigation of romance, friendship, and career ambitions, setting an example for those who seek to carve out their own paths in life while remaining genuine to themselves.
