Paige DeSorbo is finally opening up about her romance with boyfriend Joe D’Amelio.
Over a year after the couple was first spotted together, the 33-year-old Summer House alum admitted that the two of them are exclusive as she gushed over their “really fun” and “very relaxing” relationship, sharing details about Joe’s demeanor and discussing the challenges of keeping their romance private.
“We’re exclusive,” Paige confirmed to Us Weekly on February 26. “I’m in my 30s, so it’s not like I’m out every single weekend going out on multiple dates like I would have been in my 20s.”
According to Paige, Joe isn’t a typical Italian man.
“I feel like they get a reputation that they’re not quiet, but they’re quiet — and I appreciate that,” she noted. “Like, they know when to speak and when not to, and I like that. That’s important. It’s important [for] a man to know when to shut it.”
Following a years-long romance with Craig Conover, 36, Paige has made a valiant effort to keep things with Joe under wraps, even after being caught together regularly throughout the past year.
“It was such a balancing act,” she shared of her decision not to expose her romance with Joe. “I feel like when I was on reality TV — I started when I was 25 — it feels very, like, that was my 20s. Obviously, I’m in charge of my own decisions and stuff [now]. So it’s nice to be able to decide what I share and what I don’t [with] personal stuff.”
As fans will recall, Paige made the decision to leave Summer House in June 2025.
“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. 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,” she explained at the time.
“I never could’ve imagined what this journey would turn into — and how many of you would be along for the ride. And you haven’t seen the last of me, I promise,” she added. “So much more to do together, but for now you know you can always find me and Daphne in my bed.”
Summer House season 10 airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
