The podcaster emphasized his calm, grounded personality has been exactly what she needed after years on reality television.
“I’m in my 30s”, she told Us Weekly exclusively Thursday, “so it’s not like I’m out every single weekend going out on multiple dates like I would have been in my 20s.” This maturity shift shows DeSorbo is approaching relationships differently at this stage of her life, prioritizing stability over excitement.

She Loves His Quiet Italian Nature
DeSorbo playfully joked about D’Amelio’s Italian heritage, saying Italian men “get a reputation that they’re not quiet, but they’re quiet and I appreciate that.” She explained that his ability to know when to speak and when to stay silent is something she deeply values in a partner. This quality has made their bond feel effortless.
For DeSorbo, finding someone who doesn’t feel the need to dominate conversations or seek attention has been refreshing, especially as a former Bravo star accustomed to manufactured drama and endless commentary. D’Amelio’s calm presence offers the peace she’s been craving since her split from Conover.
Timeline of Their Relationship Status

“It was such a balancing act. I feel like when I was on reality TV, I started when I was 25, it feels very like that was my 20s. So it’s nice to be able to decide what I share and what I don’t with personal stuff.”
— Paige DeSorbo, Summer House alum
Privacy Has Been a Game-Changer for DeSorbo
DeSorbo emphasized how different this relationship feels compared to her years on Bravo and her high-profile romance with Conover. Being able to keep her love life private has been “such a balancing act,” she confessed, noting she started her TV career at just 25 years old. The freedom to choose what to share feels revolutionary to her.
She credits D’Amelio’s low-key status outside the entertainment industry with making privacy possible. Since he works in sports management rather than reality television, their relationship has blossomed away from paparazzi and tabloid scrutiny. This separation from the spotlight has allowed both to develop genuine connection without constant pressure.
What’s Next for Paige DeSorbo and Joe D’Amelio?
With DeSorbo now publicly confirming her exclusive relationship, fans are wondering if wedding bells could be on the horizon. She previously predicted in April 2025 on WWHL that she would “be with an Italian next,” and remarkably, her prediction came true. She also mentioned wanting to find someone who wasn’t “the funny one” in the relationship this time around.
Whether this romance leads to marriage remains to be seen, but DeSorbo is clearly thriving emotionally. Her calm demeanor and evident happiness suggest she finally found the stable, grounded partnership she was looking for after her split from the Southern Charm star. The question isn’t if they’ll last, but when she’ll take the next big step forward.
