AceShowbiz - Paige DeSorbo, 32, took to her "Giggly Squad" podcast to address a rumor that suggested she had cheated on Craig Conover with "Saturday Night Live" star Marcello Hernandez. Despite laughing about it initially, the reality star eventually felt particularly uneasy because the gossip involved a third party.
Mortified by the allegations, DeSorbo decided to personally reach out to the comedian to clear up the air. Usually unfazed by online hate, she felt obliged to text Hernandez, 27, offering an apology after discovering that some passionate fans had sent him hate messages.
"I was like, 'Hey, umm … just wanna let you know there's, like, a rumor going around that I cheated on my boyfriend with you,' and he was like, 'F*** yeah!' " she remembered.
Hernandez then sent her screenshots of the hate messages he received, which added an awkward twist to an already tense situation. "I was like, 'Marcello, I am so f***ing sorry - like this is so embarrassing,' " she told him. Fortunately, the comedian wasn't bothered by the rumor.
The cheating rumor followed her recent split from Craig Conover, 36, after three years together. DeSorbo announced their split on her podcast, suggesting that they ended on amicable terms. "I love him. I think he loves me. I think we will remain friends," she stated.
She went further to emphasize that no one was to blame and that their mutual respect allowed them to voice their needs and evaluate their future in real time. In his own statement a few weeks later, Conover corroborated the amicable nature of their separation on Instagram, though he admitted the breakup caught him off guard.
Weeks before their split, Conover shared his excitement for his future with DeSorbo, opening up about his determination to ditch alcohol and desire to start a family with her. On his show, he even revealed his move to preserve his fertility.
With both parties confirming there's no bad blood and the rumors debunked, the focus now shifts back to their respective paths forward. Given DeSorbo and Conover's maturity in handling the breakup, young fans can find inspiration in their approach to relationships and the importance of transparent communication.
