Transcript

00:00You know, you and Craig have get a lot of pressure from Bravo

00:02fans about next steps in your relationship. Do you get

00:06pressure from the family as well at this point? Or is everybody

00:09comfortable with the way things are with you guys?

00:12You know, I think our families are the only people that have

00:16never like pressured us or even asked really like my parents

00:20have not asked like, Oh, when are you getting engaged? His

00:24parents haven't either. So as long as they're not pressuring

00:28us, I don't feel pressured.

00:31That's good. Do you get offended when people ask about it?

00:34Not at all. Because and I always use this example. When I was

00:38younger, and like the Kardashians first came on, and I

00:42was like, I remember being so mad that Kim Kardashian didn't

00:46show her wedding to Kanye on the show. Yeah, I agree. And did

00:50buy it. I was like, I've watched everything. So no, I can put

00:55myself in those shoes like I would never and also it is a

00:58normal natural question to just be like, Oh, when are you

01:01getting engaged? So no, I would never take offense to it.

01:05So when the wedding does happen, you will televise it for

01:07everybody then?

01:08Well, I feel like I would be a hypocrite if I didn't because I

01:12was so mad at Kim that day.

01:16Do you say that you and Paige are kind of in like the best

01:18place that you guys have been in? It seems like you guys have

01:20found like such a great rhythm between you know, Charleston and

01:24New York and probably Nashville now. So does it seem like you

01:28guys have have a great rhythm? Because so many people are so

01:30critical of your relationship, which I don't understand why.

01:33But how would you kind of describe the state of your

01:35relationship now?

01:37Yeah, well, it's, it's always surprising when people hear how

01:40long we've been dating. It hasn't even been three years

01:43yet. And we've just really hit a great, a great spot. You know,

01:49you have your, your, your year of, I mean, everyone has

01:53different stages, but you have party, you know, like your year

01:56of partying and everything, having fun, but then you're

01:58like, well, wait, is this our life forever? And then there was

02:01definitely a, you know, kind of a coming, coming to Jesus

02:06moment, but I was just like, well, yeah, like, I want to be

02:08a dad one day and, and be like, I don't know, I guess I had some

02:13growing up to do. And so Paige was really supportive and

02:17patient with me for a year as I really turned into the person

02:22that I always wanted to be. But I finally started to walk the

02:25walk instead of just talk the talk. And now we've hit this

02:29place where we're, I could not be happier for how busy she is.

02:35And I can't wait to see everything that she accomplishes.

02:38And she's so supportive of Sewing Down South. And she gets

02:41to come down here and just float in the pool and just relax.

02:45We've got, you know, our bees, she was down yesterday, and we

02:49got our new bees, and we're hanging out with them. And then

02:52we get to go up to the city and, and live the New York City

02:56lifestyle. And for us, it works. So it's nice to hear other long

03:00distance couples reach out. And a lot of people I know, like

03:04their partners travel for work. And I guess it's just the world

03:09that we live in is sometimes you're going to attract

03:12negativity, and you really just try to quiet the outside noise

03:16with each other. And but you know, we're, we are in the best

03:22place we've ever been, which is the goal, right? You know, you

03:24want to be stronger today than you were yesterday. And it just

03:31works for us. You know, I guess we don't know how to explain it

03:33to other people anymore. Other than like, like, I'm opening the

03:37store in Nashville, like, what, we're just gonna like break up

03:40and meet new people. Like I have to like, no, we with FaceTime

03:44and with effort. And the ease of our travel, you know, we're

03:49fortunate that we can fly when we want. And we make it work.

03:53And we're both happier, happier in this relationship than we

03:57ever have been in the past. So

03:59I think what we've kind of figured out is, you know, and

04:03you'll see us work through it on on both shows, even though like,

04:08they never mind. I mean, we Yes, we do get asked all the time.

04:12You know, it's really just not letting the unknown of the

04:15future ruin our happiness today. And that was a decision that we

04:19had to make, you know, and some people might not be able to do

04:22that. And sometimes it does get stressful and tough and not

04:26being able to have a plan. But in, you know, in reality, we

04:31don't need to right now. With our ability to travel and

04:35technology, we're very fortunate to be able to spend, you know,

04:39half our time in New York and the other half in Charleston,

04:41and they're two great places to live. And, you know, really

04:47until just really until that kids, you know, until we have

04:52kids and they're have to go to school, then we don't actually

04:56have to pick a place. So, you know, I could, I could go date

05:02someone that lived in Charleston and have that structure, but it

05:05wouldn't be the right person. So I think the date finding the

05:08right person is the hard part and then figuring out the rest

05:12will just come in time.
