In a refreshingly candid moment, reality television star Paige DeSorbo has offered her fans a rare peek into her personal life, specifically addressing her relationship with Joe D’Amelio. The Summer House alum, known for her sharp wit, discussed the dynamics of her private romance during the Friday, January 9 episode of the popular Giggly Squad podcast, which she co-hosts with her close friend, Hannah Berner.
A Podcast Peek Into Private Life
The revealing conversation stemmed from a recent, off-camera social gathering that included Berner's husband, Des Bishop, and DeSorbo's boyfriend, Joe D’Amelio. DeSorbo humorously kicked off the discussion by noting that Berner had “a lot of notes” after the hangout. Berner then elaborated on why their partners might find such situations challenging.
“Hanging out with us is not fun because we will bring something up, start laughing and then one of us goes, ‘Hold it, save it for the camera,’” Berner explained, highlighting the unique professional-comedic dynamic she shares with DeSorbo. She painted a picture of their partners being left in an awkward pause, with Des just sitting there thinking, “Uh.”
DeSorbo wholeheartedly agreed with this assessment. She admitted that their fast-paced, insider banter can unintentionally sideline others. “In general, it’s not,” she said, referring to the fun factor for their significant others. “Des was around, Joe was around and they were just, like, not speaking. I was, like, ‘I’m performing with my friend right now.’” This honest reflection provided a genuine, relatable snapshot of how their professional partnership as podcasters intersects with their personal relationships.
Keeping Romance Away from the Spotlight
This discussion marked a significant moment for fans, as it offered one of the first substantial glimpses into DeSorbo's relationship with D’Amelio, who has largely remained out of the public eye. The couple has been notoriously private since rumors of their romance first surfaced earlier in 2025.
Their relationship was exclusively confirmed by Us Weekly in July 2025. A source close to the pair told the publication at the time, “Paige has been quietly dating Joe D’Amelio for a while now, and things between them are going really well.” The insider also shed light on DeSorbo's journey, noting that it took her time to feel ready to date again after her highly publicized split from Craig Conover. The pair had dated from 2021 to 2024.
“She’s in a totally different headspace now,” the source emphasized, suggesting a period of personal growth for DeSorbo. Despite their preference for privacy, observant fans have continued to spot the couple together on occasion, keeping interest in their union alive.
Who is Joe D’Amelio?
While DeSorbo is a familiar face from Bravo's reality TV world, Joe D’Amelio operates in a different sphere. He is a senior vice president at Klutch Sports Group, a prominent football marketing and representation company founded by the influential sports agent Rich Paul. His professional background in the high-stakes world of sports business contrasts with the entertainment-focused career of his girlfriend, adding an intriguing layer to their low-key partnership.
By choosing to share this update on her own terms through her podcast, Paige DeSorbo has successfully controlled the narrative around her love life, giving fans just enough to satisfy their curiosity while firmly maintaining the couple's cherished privacy.
