A simple social media joke has spiraled into drama for “Summer House” star Jesse Solomon. His lighthearted comment about Paige DeSorbo’s future wedding became incredibly awkward when, just hours later, DeSorbo announced her breakup with longtime boyfriend Craig Conover. The incident has left Bravo fans buzzing about the timing and the potential meaning behind the exchange, highlighting the unpredictable nature of reality TV drama in the digital age.
A TikTok Comment with Unfortunate Timing
The situation began on Sunday when Jesse Solomon posted a TikTok video of himself singing Andrea Bocelli’s “Time to Say Goodbye.” Paige DeSorbo playfully commented on the post, writing, “All of the sudden everyone’s Italian.”
Solomon, known for his quick wit, replied, “Ok fine I’ll sing it at your wedding.” At that moment, the comment was seen as harmless banter between friends and castmates. However, the context changed dramatically when news of DeSorbo’s split from Craig Conover became public.
The comment thread quickly filled with fan reactions. One user even suggested, “You’ll sing it at yours and Paige’s wedding,” referencing Solomon’s known crush on DeSorbo during his first season on “Summer House.” What started as a joke instantly became a hot topic for speculation.
Paige DeSorbo Confirms Split from Craig Conover
On Monday, Paige DeSorbo officially confirmed the end of her three-year relationship with “Southern Charm” star Craig Conover. During an emotional episode of her podcast, “Giggly Squad,” she told listeners the decision was mutual but difficult.
“Craig and I have decided to no longer be together,” DeSorbo shared. She explained that navigating the breakup in the public eye is “weird, very sad, and awkward.” Despite the split, she had high praise for Conover, calling him one of the best people she has ever known.
The couple’s differing life goals were a recurring theme on their respective shows. Key factors contributing to their decision to part ways included:
- Future Plans: Conover was vocal about his desire to get married and start a family, while DeSorbo expressed hesitation about settling down soon.
- Location: DeSorbo is a proud New Yorker and was reluctant to leave the city, whereas Conover is based in Charleston, South Carolina, where his business is located.
She admitted that their paths were heading in different directions, making the breakup an inevitable, though painful, choice.
Solomon Addresses the “Poorly Timed Comment”
As news of the breakup spread, Jesse Solomon realized the awkwardness of his earlier remark. He returned to his TikTok video to address the situation head-on.
He added a new comment to the thread, simply stating, “Well, this was a poorly timed comment.” His acknowledgment of the misstep drew a mix of responses from the Bravo fanbase.
Many fans were sympathetic, understanding that it was a case of bad timing and nothing more. Others, however, used it as an opportunity to speculate about a potential romance between Solomon and DeSorbo, pointing to their flirtatious dynamic on “Summer House.”
Fan Reactions and What’s Next for the Bravo Stars
While Solomon’s comment was likely a coincidence, it added fuel to the fire for fans who have long noted the chemistry between him and DeSorbo. The online discussion has been split between those defending Solomon and those who believe there might be more to the story.
Meanwhile, Craig Conover has remained silent on the breakup, choosing not to make a public statement yet. Fans are now watching closely to see how the split will be addressed in the upcoming seasons of both “Summer House” and “Southern Charm.”
DeSorbo mentioned on her podcast that she hopes to remain friends with Conover. For now, she is focused on her own personal growth as she navigates this new chapter of her life in the public eye.
