## Early life and start in media
DeSorbo grew up outside [Albany, New York](https://www.edgepedia.org/albany-new-york), with her brother Gary. Her mother suggested broadcast journalism school when she was applying to colleges, telling her she would be a great news anchor; she attended journalism school in upstate New York[5](https://www.fastcompany.com/91316271/career-advice-from-summer-house-star-paige-desorbo). Her first job was as an assistant to a vice president at ABC News, and she had dreams of becoming a reporter[7](https://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/a63755744/paige-desorbo-summer-house-giggly-squad-interview-2025/).
When she joined *Summer House* in 2019, she was working as a fashion writer at Betches Media; she later revealed during an Amazon Live in October 2023 that she had lost that job[8](https://www.bravotv.com/the-daily-dish/what-does-paige-desorbo-do-for-a-living). Her persona on the show, centered on lounging, napping, and staying in bed, became the foundation for her later business identity[3](https://www.vogue.com/article/paige-desorbos-next-act-building-a-loungewear-brand-that-lasts).
## Summer House and Bravo career
DeSorbo joined Bravo's *Summer House*, a reality series about shared summer housing in the Hamptons, during its third season in 2019[2](https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/paige-desorbo/). She went on to appear in the *Southern Charm* and *Summer House* crossover *Winter House* in 2021[2](https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/paige-desorbo/). In June 2025 she announced her departure after seven seasons, saying she was ready to move on and focus on other projects[3](https://www.vogue.com/article/paige-desorbos-next-act-building-a-loungewear-brand-that-lasts).
Her relationships were covered on the shows: she dated Perry Rahbar during season 4 before they broke up in October 2020, then dated *Southern Charm* star Craig Conover for three years until their split in December 2024[2](https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/paige-desorbo/). She has since been dating Joe D'Amelio[2](https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/paige-desorbo/).
## Giggly Squad
**The podcast.** DeSorbo and comedian [Hannah Berner](https://www.edgepedia.org/hannah-berner), her best friend and former *Summer House* castmate, turned their weekly Instagram Live conversations into the *Giggly Squad* podcast in 2020[5](https://www.fastcompany.com/91316271/career-advice-from-summer-house-star-paige-desorbo). The show covers pop culture, fashion, dating, mental health, and the hosts' personal lives in a comedic register[9](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/paige-desorbo-on-velvet-suits-paying-rent-and-the/id1747045069?i=1000658025772). It has since gathered over 150 million combined downloads, ranks in the top 10 comedy podcasts, and releases episodes twice weekly[4](https://investor.siriusxm.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/2304/siriusxm-inks-new-multi-year-agreement-with-giggly). In September 2026, SiriusXM signed a four-year deal giving it exclusive distribution and global ad sales for the podcast, with new exclusive programming planned for 2027[4](https://investor.siriusxm.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/2304/siriusxm-inks-new-multi-year-agreement-with-giggly).
**Live shows and the book.** The podcast's live tour sold out across 70 cities, including two shows at [Radio City Music Hall](https://www.edgepedia.org/radio-city-music-hall), under the name "Club Giggly"[4](https://investor.siriusxm.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/2304/siriusxm-inks-new-multi-year-agreement-with-giggly). In 2025 the pair launched a video series, "Hannah and Paige Try New Things," documenting the tour[10](https://www.washingtonpost.com/post-next/interactive/2026/paige-desorbo/). Their first book, *How to Giggle: A Guide to Taking Life Less Seriously*, published by [Simon & Schuster](https://www.edgepedia.org/simon-and-schuster) in April 2025, debuted at #2 on The New York Times Best Sellers list[5](https://www.fastcompany.com/91316271/career-advice-from-summer-house-star-paige-desorbo) • [4](https://investor.siriusxm.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/2304/siriusxm-inks-new-multi-year-agreement-with-giggly).
## Daphne and business ventures
DeSorbo had wanted a fashion brand for years but hesitated because she lacked design expertise and had turned down approaches for skincare and shoe lines[3](https://www.vogue.com/article/paige-desorbos-next-act-building-a-loungewear-brand-that-lasts). At the end of 2023 she connected with Concept Brands, a Los Angeles venture company that invests in and helps build consumer brands; they officially partnered in June 2024[3](https://www.vogue.com/article/paige-desorbos-next-act-building-a-loungewear-brand-that-lasts).
The result was Daphne, a pajama and loungewear line named after her ragdoll cat, which launched in June 2025 with a limited 12-item drop[3](https://www.vogue.com/article/paige-desorbos-next-act-building-a-loungewear-brand-that-lasts) • [10](https://www.washingtonpost.com/post-next/interactive/2026/paige-desorbo/). Interest was strong from the start: more than 100,000 customers had signed up on the waitlist before the first release[3](https://www.vogue.com/article/paige-desorbos-next-act-building-a-loungewear-brand-that-lasts). DeSorbo designed the clothes to be wearable both in bed and out, citing the blur between loungewear and formalwear on recent runways[3](https://www.vogue.com/article/paige-desorbos-next-act-building-a-loungewear-brand-that-lasts). The brand released a 26-piece summer collection in May 2026 and a fall collection in September 2026[11](https://www.marieclaire.com/fashion/celebrity-style/paige-desorbo-interview-daphne-summer-2026-collection/) • [12](https://www.whowhatwear.com/fashion/shopping/paige-desorbo-daphne-fall-2026).
**Other ventures.** DeSorbo hosts live shopping events on Amazon, ranking among Amazon's top 10 Live creators, as the host of *The Paige DeSorbo Show* and the Amazon FAST Channel series *In Bed with Paige DeSorbo*, which launched in Summer 2024[6](https://www.bravotv.com/people/paige-desorbo). She has served as a recurring fashion correspondent for *The Today Show* and hosted red carpets including the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscar Party livestream and Netflix's 2026 Screen Actors Guild Award pre-show[6](https://www.bravotv.com/people/paige-desorbo) • [4](https://investor.siriusxm.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/2304/siriusxm-inks-new-multi-year-agreement-with-giggly). In 2026 she became TRESemmé's "Chief A-List Officer"[13](https://www.newbeauty.com/view/paige-desorbo-interview-tresemme-2026).
## Television and scripted projects
Beyond reality TV, DeSorbo and Berner are developing a half-hour scripted comedy series for Netflix, which they will co-write and headline, produced by [Amy Poehler](https://www.edgepedia.org/amy-poehler) and her studio Paper Kite Productions[4](https://investor.siriusxm.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/2304/siriusxm-inks-new-multi-year-agreement-with-giggly). DeSorbo has said she is leaning toward scripted projects going forward, and that she wants each project to offer escapism and comedy[10](https://www.washingtonpost.com/post-next/interactive/2026/paige-desorbo/).
## Recognition
*Variety* named DeSorbo one of the "40 Most Powerful Women in Reality TV" in 2023[6](https://www.bravotv.com/people/paige-desorbo), and *The Hollywood Reporter* included her among the "50 Most Powerful New Yorkers in Media"[4](https://investor.siriusxm.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/2304/siriusxm-inks-new-multi-year-agreement-with-giggly). At the 2025 Las Culturistas Culture Awards she received the Allison Williams Cool Girl Award[14](https://www.whowhatwear.com/fashion/shopping/paige-desorbo-gift-guide-2025).
