“It’s just life. I have to take my own advice … that no one is ever not better off after a breakup,” he stated. “But I guess now I gotta practice what I preach and believe it and truly have faith in God that everything happens for a reason.

As OK! previously reported, DeSorbo, 32, announced their split on her and Hannah Berner's "Giggly Squad" podcast on Monday, December 30.

“Craig and I have decided to no longer be together,” the Summer House star said on December 30.

“I love him, I think he loves me,” she stated. “I think we will remain friends. No one did anything. It wasn’t a bad thing. I think we both were just being really mature and saying what we want and what we didn’t want, and I think that’s extremely powerful to be able to voice how you’re feeling in real time and what you want for your future.”

The exes met while filming Season 1 of Winter House in 2021. They remained in a relationship, with Conover living in South Carolina, while DeSorbo was in New York City.
