Paige DeSorbo has a lot in the works following her exit from Summer House.
DeSorbo, 32, shocked the world when she announced her departure from Summer House after seven seasons.
“Being a part of this show has been one of the most rewarding chapters of my life — the friendships, the drama, the giggles, all unforgettable,” she wrote via her Instagram Story on Thursday, June 5. “You’ve seen me grow up over these last seven summers. I’ll always be beyond grateful for the memories, the community, and the opportunities this wild ride has brought me. But like all good things (and some bad decisions), it’s time for this chapter to close.”
While some may only know DeSorbo for her time on Summer House and her relationship with ex Craig Conover, fans know that she has a lot more up her sleeve. DeSorbo cohosts the “Giggly Squad” podcast with pal Hannah Berner. (Berner, 33, also appeared on Summer House from seasons 3 to 5.)
The duo launched their podcast in 2020 and it has taken off since. Last year, DeSorbo and Berner took their show across the country for their live show called “Giggly Squad Live: Club Giggly.”
DeSorbo and Berner didn’t stop there. Earlier this year, the pair published their first book, How to Giggle: A Guide to Taking Life Less Seriously. They also launched a web series titled Hannah & Paige Try New Things last month.
“Everything I’ve done in my career thus far — none of it did I think was going to happen,” DeSorbo said of her achievements in an interview with InStyle earlier this month. “I wasn’t seven, being like, ‘One day I’ll have a podcast.’ That wasn’t a thing. I didn’t think, ‘Oh, I want to be on the radio, writing a book, being on a reality TV show.’”
In addition to building her media empire, DeSorbo has ventured into the clothing brand world. The reality star has a sleepwear brand named Daphne in the works. Daphne is scheduled to drop on Tuesday, June 10.
When it comes to her brand, DeSorbo explained that she has a full hands-on-deck approach.
“Well, it’s my idea. I want to be fully involved in every single thing,” she explained to the outlet. “I haven’t missed a meeting. I’m in all the text threads. I’m the final decision-maker.”
DeSorbo isn’t stopping there. On top of her podcast and pajama line, she’s also an influencer. On her social media, DeSorbo has created fashion, beauty and lifestyle content. She’s partnered with brands like TRESemmé, Amazon and more.
