Why Craig Conover and Paige DeSorbo aren’t worried about moving in together amid long-distance relationship

Stitching and Giggling along.

Craig Conover and Paige DeSorbo have no qualms about making their long-distance relationship work long term.

The beloved Bravo couple have been dating for three years and have maintained a successful relationship, despite DeSorbo living in New York City and Conover calling Charleston, SC, home.

“I think a lot of people, when they hear long-distance, they think that it means that we don’t see each other a lot,” Conover, 36, exclusively told Page Six in New York City last Friday. “But, Paige and I basically live together, and we just live in two different places.”

The “Southern Charm” star — who was promoting his new Sewing Down South for HD Designs home decor collection, the Cozy Harvest Collection, with Kroger — explained that they’ve gotten into a routine and typically spend the spring in Charleston and the summer in NYC.

“She does say that she sees me more than she saw some boyfriends that lived in New York City because of the commute [across boroughs],” he said, laughing.

Conover also pointed out that they both have busy traveling schedules, since he frequently does speaking engagements with Sewing Down South, and she’s currently on a nationwide tour for her hit podcast, “Giggly Squad.”

“It’s neat to be able to root for each other,” he continued. “And that doesn’t mean it’s not difficult, sometimes. I think we’re in a fortunate place that we love being together, but that doesn’t mean that the challenges of being apart is something that we’re figuring out. Like, no one knows what they’re doing.”

The “Pillow Talk” author explained that because of their busy schedules, they’re focusing on their respective careers and not stressing about next steps in their relationship.

Conover added that they’re both “career driven” people focusing on that aspect of their lives. Getty Images for Heineken The Sewing Down South founder added that they have a “common goal” of getting married and starting a family.

“One day we want to get married and have a family, and we’re just in a unique spot that we’ve embraced of being like, ‘We’re two very career driven people,’” he explained. “We both love where we live and we don’t know what’s coming next, but we’d rather go through those challenges with the right person than with the wrong person.”

Conover reiterated that they’re just taking things “one day at a time” and hopes that fans will get a closer look at their relationship on the upcoming season of “Southern Charm.”

“You will get to see her [on the new season],” he teased. “I love when everyone gets to see Charleston Paige. I think it’s adorable.”

Conover teased that fans will get to see more of their relationship on the new season of “Southern Charm.” Bravo Conover has been focusing on expanding his business, Sewing Down South. Instagram

In addition to fans catching Conover’s relationship with DeSorbo on the hit Bravo show, they can also see his ventures into the lifestyle and homeware space.

Conover has been selling decorative pillows through his Sewing Down South company for years, but he’s recently started dabbling into the home space. He just released his second collection in the Sewing Down South for HD Designs collaboration with Kroger.

“I get to do these collaborations with Kroger, which has been awesome, and I really am excited,” he gushed to Page Six. “The goal has always been for Sewing Down South to be in every room in your house. I used to say for me to be in every room of your house, but that’s kind of weird.”

The Bravolebrity added that he is living out his “homeware dreams” of one day becoming the male version of Martha Stewart.

“People ask me like, ‘Did you ever see Sewing Down South turning into this?’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah, I did!’ But I was the only one!” he added while giggling.

“I have a mindset of like, ‘If not me, then who?’ Or like, ‘Why not me?'” he explained. “I feel like you shouldn’t cap your dreams, and people have really been receptive to everything that we’ve done, so we’re going to keep plugging along.”
