Paige DeSorbo Bids Farewell to Summer House After 7 Seasons

Published: June 5, 2025

Reality TV star Paige DeSorbo has announced her departure from Bravo's Summer House after seven seasons. The 32-year-old fashion influencer and Giggly Squad podcast host made the announcement via Instagram Stories on Thursday, June 5.

"I have a little life update for you: I've made the decision not to return to Summer House," she wrote. "Being part of this show has been one of the most rewarding chapters of my life — the friendships, the drama, the giggles, all unforgettable."

DeSorbo joined the Bravo show in season 3 with her then-co-worker Hannah Berner. She went on to appear on Summer House spinoff Winter House for two seasons and began dating fellow Bravo star Craig Conover, from Southern Charm, in 2021. However, the two ended their relationship just after Thanksgiving 2024. Conover had bought an engagement ring for DeSorbo and agreed to move from Charleston, S.C., to New York City to be with the podcast host and start a family.

DeSorbo has been focusing on her career, including her podcast and a book, How to Giggle: A Guide to Taking Life Less Seriously, which she released with Berner in April. She told PEOPLE that she wants to make her career her priority at this point.

"If any 32-year-old man said, 'You know what? Actually, I'm going to focus on my career for a couple more years.' The response would be, 'He's got a good head on his shoulders. He really knows what he's doing.' But when it's a woman, they're like, 'That's scary.' I'm not standing on the side of, 'I don't want children and I hate men. I never want to get married.' I want to get married. I want to have a baby. I can't wait for that part of my life, but I want to do it when I want to do it, and I want to do it with the person I want to do it with."

DeSorbo's decision to leave Summer House comes as a surprise to many fans, but the reality TV star is excited for this new phase of her life. She told PEOPLE that she's proud of herself for making a tough decision, even though the public was like, 'You're wrong, you'll never find another person again.'
