“I love him. I think he loves me. I think we’ll stay friends,” she continued. “Nobody did anything. It wasn’t a bad thing. I think we’ve both just grown up a lot and said what we want and what we don’t want, and I think being able to express how you feel and what you care about in real time is extremely powerful wishes for the future.”

DeSorbo, 32, didn’t go into too much detail about why they split, but she shared that the last few years have been “very transformative” and have seen her and Conover, 36, grow “a lot.” would have changed.

“I have so much love and respect for Craig,” she said. “I think he is one of the best people I have met in my entire life. I will remain the biggest fan for him and want the best for him and he will truly get the best because he is the best. Still, I think it’s the right decision for both of us.”

DeSorbo admitted that the breakup was “very sad” and “uncomfortable” for the Bravolebrities to navigate in public.

She also dismissed speculation that they broke up months ago and were waiting for their respective reality TV shows to air to cause drama.

“Nobody can tell me what to do,” she said. “The network has power, but they don’t have that much power. So this wasn’t a real thing. Rumors that we broke up months ago – that’s not real either.”

DeSorbo didn’t reveal when she and Conover decided to separate, but they spent Thanksgiving together at her parents’ home in upstate New York just last month.

“He’s definitely the best friend I’ve ever had. I can really say that,” she shared. “He was a great friend and he did everything right and he never made me feel insecure or anything like that. So it’s almost harder when no one has done anything to be angry about, and that’s hard.”

Conover has not yet addressed the split and his rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

Because of their long-distance relationship, the former couple has long been faced with separation speculation. DeSorbo lives in New York City and Conover has a home in Charleston, SC.

She most recently fueled the rumors during an emotional conversation with her co-star Ciara Miller in the trailer for the upcoming season of “Summer House.”

“Me and Craig are going to break up and everything I have is going to go,” DeSorbo told Miller as he wiped tears from his eyes. “It’s just a lot.”
