Summer House cast member Paige DeSorbo is living the dream as she tours around the country with her longtime BFF, Hannah Berner, as they take their Giggly Squad podcast on the road and hang out live with fans. In fact, the duo recently marked a major milestone when they took the stage in NYC for two sold-out shows at Radio City Music Hall.
“It doesn’t feel like it’s happening to me. I’m so proud of Hannah and I,” Paige told People, adding how “surreal” their success has been. In addition to having her BFF by her side, Paige also has found support from her cat, Daphne (who, yes, hung out backstage at Radio City).
“I was leaving for Radio City and I was like, what am I thinking? I’m doing probably the biggest show ever, I’m going to be so nervous. I need to bring Daphne. She’s so comforting. She’s a jet-setter. She’s a star,” she said. “So it was really a last-minute decision, but I’m so happy she made the green room.”
Paige and Hannah have more tour dates lined up and it all comes at an interesting time for Paige as she navigates her recent breakup from Southern Charm‘s Craig Conover and readies for a new season of Summer House.
She added to People that she’s found the perfect way to handle it all: “Knowing it’s okay to ask for help or talk about it or say you’re going through it because someone most likely has gone through the same thing and can help you with a solution.”
Paige DeSorbo explains her lifestyle change after her breakup with Craig Conover
Since her split from Craig, Paige has embraced working out and calls the lifestyle change “empowering.”
“I’ve only been single for a couple months, but already, just in terms of my single life [and] my own personal life, I never wanted to work out,” she explained on a recent episode of her Giggly Squad podcast. “Obviously you want to work out because you want to be hot or whatever. I never wanted to work out because I feel like I literally didn’t care about my body. I didn’t care if I was healthy. I didn’t care if I was strong. And then when I was single, I was like, Oh no, I have to stay alive. You know?”
What’s next for Paige DeSorbo?
As if the tour wasn’t enough, Paige and Hannah are also readying the release of their book, How to Giggle: A Guide to Taking Life Less Seriously, this spring.
In addition to all she has in store with Hannah, Season 9 of Summer House is set to premiere on Bravo on Wednesday, Feb. 12 at 9/8c. New episodes will stream next day on Peacock. You can check out the trailer for the new season at the top of the post.
