The 32-year-old Summer House star faced a slew of questions about her split from fellow Bravolebrity Craig Conover, and she made it clear she has no regrets about ending things, despite the backlash she faced from some fans.

"I would take the hate ten times over if it meant I'm at where I am in my life now," Paige told host Andy Cohen.

Still, she revealed that the biggest misconception among fans was that she was "leading Craig on" during their three-year romance.

"I loved him. I wanted to marry him. That was very real," the Giggly Squad host said.

Paige also confirmed Craig's claims that the split was not mutual but added, "I felt like he was saying that because he wanted to be the victim, wanted people to be like, 'She did it. She caused this.'"

She also criticized the 37-year-old Southern Charm star for "leaning into" speculation that she had cheated on him but said she ultimately didn't need him to "defend" her from the false allegations.

Paige also weighed in on Craig's new romance with model Natalie Buffett, saying that she was "so happy for him." As for herself, she confirmed that she's "dating" but has not been involved in "anything serious" since the December 2024 split.

Elsewhere in the episode, Paige responded to some of the comments about her and Craig's relationship that aired on Southern Charm's latest season.

The fashion influencer joked that Craig's remarks about their split during the Bravo show's season 10 reunion were "a great story" and denied his bizarre claim that she told him they might get married at BravoCon one day.

Regarding the rest of the Charleston crew, Paige admitted she's hurt by the end of her friendship with Craig's co-star, Austen Kroll. Similarly, she said she was "really sad" that Madison LeCroy pretty much "ghosted" her afterwards as well.

"I really thought we were close," Paige said of the 34-year-old, adding that she also heard Madison was "saying some not-so-nice stuff about me" prior to the breakup.

Madison did reach out to Paige a month after the split was announced, but the Winter House alum said the message "was more about the attention it was getting, it wasn't really a check-in."

As for Shep Rose calling her Giggly Squad podcast a "stupid talk show" on the Southern Charm aftershow, Paige answered simply, "Bless his heart. The poor thing."
