Paige DeSorbo knows that she won’t stay on Bravo’s Summer House forever.
“There’s an end date for me at some point. With the lifestyle of Summer House specifically, I’m probably not fitting into the original show idea anymore,” Paige, 32, told Glamour in an interview published on Thursday, April 17. “Whenever I see a comment that’s like, ‘She’s a little too old to be on this,’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, I kind of am. I’m probably not as fun to party with as a 25-year-old, and I get that.’”
Paige joined the Bravo hit, chronicling a group of New York-based friends jointly renting a house in the Hamptons for the summer, during season 3, which aired in 2019. A ninth season is currently airing.
“I would stay on reality TV, but it’s only fun and real if it’s your lifestyle,” Paige said. “As I get older, I am straying away more and more from partying every weekend. I really can’t drink two nights in a row; I will pass away. I was actually nervous for this season to come out because I felt like I didn’t do anything this summer, because I was so tired from working.”
In addition to her reality TV career, Paige hosts her and former costar Hannah Berner’s “Giggly Squad” podcast and is in the process of launching a fashion line. She and Hannah, 33, also recently wrote a nonfiction book inspired by their podcast.
“When I first started Summer House, I knew that it was a means to something else. I always saw it as a stepping stone,” Paige told Glamour. “I knew I wanted to put out some type of product, but I’ve watched Bravo people put out different lines, and knew that I was never going to put something out that I wasn’t connected to. I’ve had companies come to me and suggest a fragrance or jewelry line, but none of that was ever really me.”
She added, “One summer I got this ‘lazy girl’ edit, and instead of fighting it or being like, ‘No, that’s really not me, I really work a lot,’ I leaned into it. If you come to my house on a normal Saturday afternoon, I’m probably in bed, lounging. Ever since I was little, I’ve wanted to have a clothing line, but I knew that if I had put something out years prior, it wouldn’t really hit the same.”
Paige further noted that her collection, highlighting her passions for fashion and lounging, has been in development for “almost two years now.”
While the Bravo personality is on her quest for continued independence and professional success, another relationship isn’t in the cards at the moment. (Paige broke up with Southern Charm star Craig Conover in late 2024.)
“Right now, I’m truly not focused on dating. I feel like it’s when you’re not looking for it that it happens,” she said. “I’m not going to rush into anything new. I just got out of something for three years. I am obviously out there dating; I’m just kind of taking a beat.”
