DeSorbo, who gained fame through the reality series *Summer House*, expressed her enthusiasm for the partnership, highlighting her fondness for all things French. “I like to believe that I am French,” she shared with PEOPLE, elaborating on her love for the distinct flavours offered by the French Kiss sparkling waters, especially the raspberry and lime variant. She described Paris as a hub of chicness and culinary delight, further stating that Paris Fashion Week is one of her personal highlights.
Navigating the often tumultuous dating scene, DeSorbo offered a piece of advice that resonates: “Trust your gut.” She emphasised the importance of intuition, especially when something feels amiss in a relationship. “When you feel like something’s maybe a little off, but you want to be nice and you want to see how it goes, I think trust your gut, for sure,” she noted, underscoring the significance of self-awareness in romantic pursuits.
When reflecting on relationship wisdom, DeSorbo credited her friend and fellow Giggly Squad host, Hannah Berner. DeSorbo recalled a powerful conversation in which Berner revealed that her first point of contact during both joyous and challenging moments is her husband, Des Bishop. “The thought of not calling my mum or dad was so scary to me,” DeSorbo remarked, recognising the depth of connection and support that signifies a substantial partnership.
According to DeSorbo, one prominent red flag in relationships is a lack of support from one’s partner. She articulated the importance of feeling like equals in a partnership. “You want to feel like you’re a partner, you’re really in it together,” DeSorbo explained. She cautioned against being with someone who attempts to alter your goals or aspirations, labelling such behaviour as detrimental to a healthy relationship.
On a lighter note, she identified an often-overlooked positive trait—someone who doesn’t take themselves too seriously. DeSorbo’s candidness about her own anxieties reveals her appreciation for a partner who can approach life with humour while still knowing when to be earnest. “Being with someone that doesn’t take things so seriously sometimes and can laugh and have a good time, that’s incredibly valuable,” she shared.
Reflecting on her own growth, DeSorbo had advice for her younger self. She encouraged a more composed approach to relationships, understanding that not every romantic involvement is destined to last. “In your 20s you’re so like, ‘Oh my God, is this my husband?’ Ten years later you’re like, ‘No, obviously that wasn’t my husband,’” she noted, reassuring young people that it’s okay to take their time and not rush into commitments.
When it comes to her own ideal date night, DeSorbo described a somewhat unconventional but personally fulfilling evening. “I like to be in bed by 10:30, 11:00,” she revealed, noting that her perfect night would involve an early meal followed by relaxation at home. “Maybe having a drink after dinner too, but I like to be in bed by 11. I like to have my red light mask on and watch my shows,” she said, articulating a desire for comfort and simplicity.
As DeSorbo continues to explore the intricacies of modern romance, her insights serve as a poignant reminder to prioritise self-awareness, support, and fun in relationships. With her partnership with Maison Perrier blending her love for French culture and sparkling water, she not only celebrates contemporary dating but also shares valuable life lessons that resonate beyond the realms of reality TV.
