Since last fall, the Summer House beauty, 29, who resides in New York, has been dating the reality TV star, 33, who is based in South Carolina.

‘She was just gone for 10 days in Italy, and that was tough,’ he added.

‘But we’re starting to see the amount of time that we’re spending chisel away to only a couple of days. So, you know, we’ll see.’

Conover’s co-star Shep Rose made jokes about his propensity for entering relationships too quickly as they conducted the interview together.

‘Well, Craig, every time Craig dates a girl for longer than two weeks, he starts talking about baby names,’ Rose, 42, revealed.

Conover acknowledged that his current favourite names are Dash, Exit, and Seven but that Paige isn’t on the same page as him, confirming what his pal had claimed.

Paige is like, “You can name our dogs that,”‘ Conover stated.

DeSorbo appears to have a different perspective on the distance as she confessed on the podcast in March that it wasn’t an issue yet and that she prefers living alone and having her own space.

‘I’ve never lived with a boyfriend and the thought of living with someone actually makes me break out in hives. I’m so nervous for the day that I actually have to live with my husband,’ she said.

After months of whispers and conjecture, Craig and Page made their affair on Instagram public back in December.

Craig Conover ex-girlfriend Naomie Olindo, who made a brief comeback to the show last year, has given the relationship her OK.

‘I think they’re great together. I think it’s really good to see him with someone where he can, like, fully be himself and he’s comfortable. And she seems to totally just see him for who he is,’ Olindo, 29, said.

‘And I think that’s really good. He doesn’t have to pretend anything. He doesn’t have to cover anything up. They can be a really good match.’
