Paige DeSorbo has been dating sports marketing executive Joe D’Amelio since early 2025, and somehow, the relationship has stayed almost entirely off our screens. The two were first linked that January after DeSorbo was spotted at a Philadelphia Eagles game with a mystery man nobody could identify. From there, the details came out slowly: sources described D’Amelio as calm, grounded, and low-key, which was reportedly a welcome change for DeSorbo after her high-profile split from Southern Charm’s Craig Conover.
The confirmations were gradual, too. DeSorbo subtly acknowledged the relationship on her Giggly Squad podcast in January 2026, then told Us in February that the two were exclusive. That summer, when engagement rumors went viral, she shut them down herself, explaining that the ring everyone spotted belonged to her brother Gary. Through all of it, updates came through her podcast and social media rather than the show.
It’s a rare thing for a former Summer House star to keep a relationship quiet, and that might be exactly the point. After a breakup that played out in front of cameras, the appeal of a private, steady romance is easy to understand. Do you think keeping a relationship off social media makes it stronger?
