One userposted a TikTok videoon Dec. 30, arguing that DeSorbo should’ve decided to “settle down” with Conover much sooner and she prolonged their relationship for no reason. In response, DeSorbo wrote, “May friends like this never find me.”

Another userposted a videoof her boyfriend ranting about the former couple’s split, claiming that fans would have “to be blind not to see this coming” after their frequent disagreements on the show, and that it was DeSorbo’s “call” to end things because she “spoke very vocally about what she wanted.” Commenting on the Jan. 1 clip, DeSorbo wrote: “We love a gossip king.”

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

“I love him, I think he loves me,” she added. “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.”

“As you get older, I mean, I started dating Craig when I was 29 and I’m 32 now,” she said. “And your 30s, for women, I feel like are very transformative. And you change a lot and you grow a lot. Him as well.”

Although DeSorbo candidly discussed the breakup, Conover has not yet commented. Weeks before they split,Conover told PEOPLEthat they had plans to get married one day.

“We’re playing the long game. It would be easy to go for instant gratification, but the foundation that we’re building is so that we die together one day, not just make it fun,” he said at the time. “We know we’re going to get married one day, and when it happens, it’ll be a lot of fun, but whenever that is, who knows?”
