Paige Desorbo Confirms She’s Exclusive With Joe D’Amelio, Cites Privacy After Reality TV Spotlight
paige desorbo has said she is in an exclusive relationship with sports executive Joe D’Amelio and described the pairing as a relaxed, low-key chapter after years of public dating. The announcement comes as she emphasizes greater control over what she shares about her personal life following a high-profile break up and nearly a decade in reality television.
Paige Desorbo on Dating, Privacy and a Different Pace
At an industry event on February 26, the 33-year-old television alum confirmed that she and D’Amelio are exclusive. She framed the relationship as “really fun” and “very relaxing, ” noting that being in her 30s has changed how she approaches dating compared with her 20s. On February 20, during an episode of her Giggly Squad podcast, she had already hinted that she was keeping a new romance private and suggested she might never post a partner on social media again.
Her shift toward discretion follows years of public exposure: she joined the cast of Summer House in 2019 and announced her departure from the show in 2025. The earlier, very public relationship she had with Craig Conover ended in 2024; DeSorbo said at the time that the split was mutual and not the result of infidelity. That experience, she has explained, influenced her decision to be selective about what she shares now.
Joe D’Amelio and the Klutch Sports Group Connection
D’Amelio, who works as a senior vice-president of football marketing at Klutch Sports Group, has been linked to DeSorbo publicly since early 2025. The pair were first seen together in a VIP box at an NFL game in January 2025 and later were photographed holding hands in Capri in June 2025. Friends and observers have described the relationship as steady; insiders say DeSorbo took a few months to warm up to dating again after her split but has done so on her own terms.
She has also outlined a clearer sense of what she wants in a partner. In April 2025, on a late-night appearance, she noted preferences that included humor and certain physical traits, and she offered a lighthearted prediction that she would “be with an Italian next. ” The ethnicity remark aligns with D’Amelio’s background and with DeSorbo’s noting that she appreciates a partner who is comfortable being quiet when appropriate.
Giggly Squad Podcast and the Aftermath of a Public Breakup
The Giggly Squad podcast has been a platform for DeSorbo to explain the reasoning behind her changed approach to visibility. She has said that beginning a reality TV career at 25 meant much of her 20s played out in public, and that the so-called court of public opinion was detrimental to how she navigated relationships. As a result, she has deliberately limited what she reveals — a choice that has affected how much fans and media see of her current romance.
