Paige Dishes on Constant Marriage Questions and Why She's "Thankful" for Craig's Family
Summer House's Paige DeSorbo also revealed if her parents are pressuring her and Craig Conover to take the next steps.
Paige Desorbo isn’t bothered by all the marriage questions thrown at her and her Southern Charm boyfriend, Craig Conover. In fact, she thinks they're "very natural."
Since becoming an item in 2021, the Bravo couple has been relentlessly pressed about the next steps of their relationship. Paige addressed the topic during an exclusive interview with E! News, insisting she could relate to fans' curiosity.
Does Paige get "offended" when fans ask about her marriage plans?
“It’s a very natural question,” the Summer House cast member said. “I’ve been dating Craig for almost three years, so I get that’s a normal question. I keep telling the story, but I always say when I watched The Kardashians, I wanted Kim to give me everything. I wanted to see every single relationship. So I know what it’s like to be the viewer of someone and be like, ‘Hello? Tell us everything.’ So, no, I would never get offended.”
Paige says her and Craig's families aren't "pressuring" them to get married
Paige also told the outlet her parents have been pretty supportive of her relationship and her decision to put marriage on the backburner.
“In my dad’s eyes, I still live at home, I’m still 16 years old,” she said when asked if her family was pressuring her to get engaged. “So that would be crazy for him to even think about. But no, I’m very thankful that my family and Craig’s family never pressure us. They never really ask about it. I think they know that we’re so busy and enjoying our lives, they would never add any extra stress to their two children.”
Paige reveals how often she and Craig discuss marriage
While some can’t wait to see the Bravo couple exchange their “I dos,” Paige reminded fans she isn’t rushing to settle down. The Manhattan-based influencer shed more light on her decision in the July 23 episode of the LadyGang podcast, saying she couldn't see herself starting a family at this busy stage in her life.
"When [women] do get married and have babies, people look at you different and they treat you different,” she said. “I didn’t want to be doing Giggly Squad, putting out a book, going on tour, and everyone would be like, ‘So you’re planning your wedding. Like, where are you doing it?’ I didn’t work this long just to like give it to a guy, basically.”
But what's Craig's position on the matter? Although he's expressed his desire to one day propose to Paige, the Summer House cast member claims her beau isn't pushing the marriage-and-kids conversation.
“Honestly, me and Craig rarely talk about when are we getting engaged, when are we having a baby,” she added. “Of course, we’ve had those conversations, but it’s not as much as everyone else is having them. So we don’t really get that stressed out about it. All of my girlfriends are pretty much married… but no one’s had a baby yet. So I don’t feel like I’m behind with everyone.”
Does Paige want to start a family someday?
While she isn't quite ready to start a family, Paige has made it clear that having kids is a big “priority in [her] life.”
“I’ve always known I wanna have kids,” she told LadyGang. “I also know myself. I know the moment I give birth to that first child, you’ll never see me again. That’s it. I’m home. I’m in the bed. Like I can’t wait for that. And so I think partly that’s why I am like, I don’t wanna do that right now. Like, I wanna work, enjoy my career, work really hard. Because I know that next part of my life is coming and when it comes I wanna be ready for it and I wanna be so immersed in it.”
