Paige DeSorbo breaks silence on her relationship with sports executive Joe D’Amelio

Paige DeSorbo is closed off.

The podcaster confirmed she is “exclusive” with sports executive Joe D’Amelio after first being linked over a year ago.

“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,” DeSorbo, 33, told Us Weekly at Actors Rising Presented by The Actor Awards and ELLE on Thursday.

The “Summer House” alum called her relationship with D’Amelio — who is the senior vice-president of football marketing at Klutch Sports Group, the sports agency founded by Adele’s fiancé, Rich Paul — “really fun” and “very relaxing.”

“I feel like they get a reputation that they’re not quiet,” she teased about her new man’s Italian heritage, “but they’re quiet — and I appreciate that.”

“Like, they know when to speak and when not to and I like that,” DeSorbo continued. “That’s important. It’s important [for] a man to know when to shut it.”

Unlike her relationship with fellow “Southern Charm” star Craig Conover, DeSorbo has found it a breath of fresh air dating someone out of the limelight.

“It was such a balancing act,” DeSorbo confessed. “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 1772222270. So it’s nice to be able to decide what I share and what I don’t [with] personal stuff.”

The former Bravo star was first linked to D’Amelio in January 2025 when they were spotted in a VIP box at a Philadelphia Eagles game.

In April, she confirmed on an episode of “Watch What Happens Live” that she was “absolutely dating people … and having a very good time” — but wasn’t involved in “anything serious.”

She also predicted at the time she would “be with an Italian next” and was looking not to be “the funny one” in the relationship this time around.

By June 2025, seven months after her split from Conover, DeuxMoi shared photos of her holding hands with D’Amelio in Capri, Italy. A source told the outlet that the pair was “very much together.”

At the time, a source told Us Weekly that DeSorbo and D’Amelio had been dating for “a while” and their romance is “going really well.”

“It took a few months for Paige to warm up to being in another relationship again, but she moved on after Craig and is genuinely happy,” the insider explained.

The podcast co-host announced her split from Conover, 37, in November 2024 after three years of dating.

“No one did anything. It wasn’t a bad thing,” she said on her and Hannah Berner’s “Giggly Squad” podcast at the time.

“I think we both were just being really mature and saying what we want and what we didn’t want, and I think that’s extremely powerful to be able to voice how you’re feeling in real time and what you want for your future.”

“I have so much love and respect for Craig,” continued DeSorbo. “I think he is one of the best people I’ve met in my entire life. I will remain the biggest fan for him and want the best for him, and he truly will get the best because he is the best. But, with that said, I think it is the right decision for both of us.”

Unlike DeSorbo, Conover has remained single since their split despite being briefly linked to Natalie Buffett.
