Speculation is swirling around Paige DeSorbo’s potential departure from Summer House as sources close to the Bravo star hint at a major career move. According to insiders, DeSorbo, a fan favorite on the Hamptons-based reality show, may be eyeing a transition to the Real Housewives franchise, with a lucrative offer reportedly on the table.
A Shift in the Bravo Universe
DeSorbo, known for her quick wit and relatable charm, has been a staple on Summer House since joining in Season 3. Her journey from fashion influencer to reality TV star has captivated audiences, with her relationships—particularly her romance with Southern Charm’s Craig Conover—and her unfiltered commentary making her a standout. However, recent reports suggest that her time in the Hamptons may be coming to an end.
Sources claim that Bravo executives have approached DeSorbo with an offer to join one of the Real Housewives series, though the specific city remains undisclosed. “Paige has been a breakout star,” an insider shared. “She’s young, stylish, and has a huge following, which makes her a perfect fit for Real Housewives. Bravo sees her as someone who could bring fresh energy to the franchise.”
Why Leave Summer House?
The rumors of DeSorbo’s exit come as Summer House prepares for its tenth season, with production already underway. While no official statement has confirmed her departure, sources indicate that DeSorbo is weighing her options. “She loves Summer House, but the opportunity to join Real Housewives is a big step up,” a source explained. “It’s a chance to elevate her brand and reach a broader audience.”
DeSorbo’s growing career outside of reality TV may also play a role. As the host of the popular Giggly Squad podcast with Hannah Berner and a fashion influencer with a strong social media presence, DeSorbo has built a personal brand that extends beyond Bravo. A move to Real Housewives could align with her ambitions to expand her influence in the entertainment and fashion industries.
Which Real Housewives City?
Speculation about which Real Housewives franchise DeSorbo might join is heating up. Fans and insiders have pointed to The Real Housewives of New York City (RHONY) as a likely fit, given DeSorbo’s New York roots and her familiarity with the city’s social scene. RHONY’s recent reboot, which introduced a younger, more diverse cast, could benefit from DeSorbo’s vibrant personality and established fanbase.
However, other possibilities include The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills or The Real Housewives of Miami, both of which have been known to attract younger cast members with strong personal brands. “Paige could fit in anywhere,” a Bravo insider noted. “She’s versatile, and her dynamic with Craig could add an interesting cross-franchise storyline.”
What About Craig Conover?
DeSorbo’s relationship with Craig Conover, a mainstay on Southern Charm, has been a focal point of Summer House in recent seasons. Fans are curious about how her potential move to Real Housewives might impact their long-distance romance, which has been a topic of discussion on both shows. Some speculate that Conover could make guest appearances if DeSorbo joins a Real Housewives series, creating a crossover dynamic that Bravo is known to capitalize on.
“Paige and Craig are a power couple in the Bravo world,” a source said. “Their relationship could be a bridge between franchises, which is something Bravo loves to explore.”
No Official Confirmation Yet
Neither DeSorbo nor Bravo has commented publicly on the rumors, leaving fans eagerly awaiting confirmation. DeSorbo has previously expressed gratitude for her time on Summer House, calling it a transformative experience that launched her career. Whether she’ll trade the Hamptons for the glitz and drama of Real Housewives remains to be seen, but the possibility has sparked excitement among viewers.
For now, fans can catch up with DeSorbo on Summer House Season 9, which is currently streaming on Peacock, while keeping an eye out for any updates on her next move. Will Paige DeSorbo become the newest Real Housewife? Only time will tell.
