Paige DeSorbo Says She ‘Saw the Rumors’ She’s Engaged to Her Boyfriend: ‘Wait, What?’

**Paige DeSorbo Responds to Engagement Rumours Amid Dating Buzz**

Television personality Paige DeSorbo has recently addressed swirling rumours regarding her engagement. The speculation erupted following a seemingly innocuous post by her Giggly Squad podcast co-host, Hannah Berner, which many fans misinterpreted as an announcement of DeSorbo’s engagement to a new partner.

During an episode of their podcast aired on 17 July, DeSorbo, 33, confirmed that she is indeed in a relationship but has chosen not to disclose her boyfriend’s name. This comes after her previous relationship with Southern Charm star Craig Conover came to an end.

The confusion began when Berner shared a screenshot during a light-hearted FaceTime chat. “It was a transformational trip,” DeSorbo explained regarding a family holiday. She noted that while the trip included her brother’s engagement, she was surprised to see followers assuming it was her own engagement that was being referenced, stating, “by the time I saw the rumours, it was past the time that I could say something on Instagram.”

Instead of addressing the speculation immediately on social media, DeSorbo opted to clarify the situation on her podcast alongside Berner. This decision allowed her to elaborate on the unexpected controversy, lending a bit of humour to the situation.

“I have to formally apologise because I always end up part of the drama and I don’t even mean to,” Berner remarked. Their on-air banter highlighted the amusing circumstances that led to the misunderstanding, with DeSorbo teasing her friend, “So you started a rumour about me while I was, like, literally having IBS symptoms. Did I do something to you?”

DeSorbo also recounted how even her mother was caught off guard by the rampant speculation. “My mom was getting text messages. She was like, ‘Wait, what?’” she said, illuminating the chaos that ensued from the playful interaction.

Amidst the confusion regarding her relationship status, the reality star was quick to express her genuine excitement for her brother Gary, who recently got engaged. “I literally am so excited for them,” she stated, adding that Gary’s fiancé, who doesn’t have an Instagram presence, wasn’t privy to the engagement rumours. “They don’t give a sh– at all — they didn’t know. They were like, ‘What?’ They are real people living in the real world,” she remarked.

In a humorous twist, DeSorbo joked about her own engagement status by quipping, “Can I wear a white dress and have a laugh?” which lightened the mood during the discussion.

While she remains tight-lipped about her new partner, DeSorbo previously confirmed in February that she was officially dating someone. “I’m seeing someone, and I have been for a little bit,” she disclosed to PEOPLE at the time. She described the tranquil nature of her current relationship, remarking how pleasant it has been to keep her love life private, away from the prying eyes of television.

DeSorbo’s last high-profile relationship was with Conover, a romance that began during the inaugural season of Bravo’s Winter House. Their three-year relationship ended late last year, when DeSorbo announced on her podcast that they had “decided to no longer be together.”

The confusion regarding her relationship status encapsulates the oftenblurry line between public persona and private life that reality television stars navigate. While DeSorbo enjoys the laughter and support from her fans, she continues to remain focused on forging her own path, both in love and career. As she embraces this new chapter, fans will no doubt be eager to see what the future holds for the popular reality star.
