He explained that he was unaware of the rumors, saying:
“I got asked about it last night, and I didn’t even know. They were like, 'Are you guys being paid to break up or something?' And I was like, what do you — I think they could tell I was confused. And they’re like, 'Oh, that’s just a rumor.' And I was like, 'Well, I have no idea.'”
He emphasized that neither he nor DeSorbo initiated the rumors and expressed confusion about their origin. Conover highlighted that fans should not take rumors seriously, stating,
“Remember back in high school when people would gossip? Like, I got most dramatic in high school. I’m a huge gossiper, but just don’t take everything so seriously.”
Maintaining a strong relationship despite the distance
Conover and DeSorbo’s long-distance relationship has not hindered their connection. In his interview with E! News, Conover underscored that they see each other frequently despite the physical distance.
He explained that they were together "every week" further confirming their continued commitment to one another.
Both Conover and DeSorbo are pursuing their careers in separate cities, but they continue to prioritize their relationship. The Southern Charm star highlighted the importance of supporting each other while balancing their professional lives, saying:
“The company’s going really well in Charleston. I just don’t wanna cut off everything that we’re both doing. We’re on these parallel paths and it’s really exciting.”

In his December 5, 2024, interview with People, Conover highlighted his efforts to take his future with Paige more seriously, including reducing his alcohol consumption. He explained:
