In a surprising turn of events, Paige DeSorbo, the beloved fashion influencer and reality TV star, has confirmed that she will not be returning to the Hamptons for the upcoming summer season of ‘Summer House’. The 32-year-old star made this announcement on Thursday via her Instagram Story, expressing her heartfelt reflections on her journey through the show after seven memorable seasons.
DeSorbo shared her sentiments, stating, “Being part of this show has been one of the most rewarding chapters of my life – the friendships, the drama, the giggles, all unforgettable.” She emphasized her growth over the last seven summers, noting, “I’ll always be beyond grateful for the memories, the community, and the opportunities this wild ride has brought me.” However, she indicated that it was time to close this chapter, saying, “But like all good things (and some bad decisions), it’s time for this chapter to close.”
In her emotional farewell, DeSorbo extended her gratitude to her “castmates, fans, and her NBCU family.” She reflected on the unexpected journey she has taken, saying, “I never could’ve imagined what this journey would turn into — and how many of you would be along for the ride.” She reassured her fans, promising, “And you haven’t seen the last of me, I promise. So much more to do together, but for now you know you can always find me and Daphne in my bed,” referencing her beloved cat.
Paige DeSorbo first joined the ‘Summer House’ cast during Season 3 alongside her best friend, Hannah Berner. Although Berner departed after two seasons, DeSorbo quickly became a fan favorite, solidifying her place within the ‘Bedbug gang’ alongside Amanda Batula and Ciara Miller. Her popularity soared as she starred in two seasons of the spin-off show, “Winter House,”b>, and gained attention for her romantic involvement with Craig Conover in 2021, although they have since parted ways.
Moreover, DeSorbo became a household name during the COVID-19 pandemic with the launch of her podcast, “Giggly Squad,”b>, alongside Berner. Over the past few months, DeSorbo has dropped subtle hints about her future in the Bravoverse. In an April interview with Glamour, she acknowledged the possibility of her departure, stating, “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.”
Fans became increasingly aware of her potential exit when she removed “Summer House” from her Instagram bio about a month ago. This change coincided with the launch of her and Berner’s new YouTube show, “Hannah and Paige Try New Things,”b> signaling a new chapter in her career.
As Paige DeSorbo embarks on a new journey outside of ‘Summer House’, her fans will undoubtedly be eager to see what exciting opportunities lie ahead. With her charm and creativity, it’s clear that DeSorbo’s presence will continue to shine, whether on social media, through her podcast, or in her upcoming projects.
