Watch: Paige DeSorbo Says She’s “So Thankful” Lindsay Hubbard is Pregnant While Filming Summer House

Paige DeSorbo is spilling some steaming hot Summer House tea—just in time for winter.

In fact, the Bravo star revealed the unexpected costar who will be causing the most drama on the reality series' upcoming ninth season.

"I'm gonna say Jesse [Solomon] had quite a season two, and we loved it," Paige exclusively told E! News Oct. 28 at the 2024 CFDA Fashion Awards in NYC. "He put in the work this summer." (Watch E! News tonight, Oct. 29, at 11 p.m. for more exclusive celebrity interviews from the CFDA Fashion Awards.)

But don't expect Paige to get too involved in the messiness created during Jesse's sophomore season, as she was tending to pregnant costar Lindsay Hubbard.

"I laid in bed a lot with Lindsay and felt her stomach," the Giggly Squad podcast cohost noted. "The boys went out and got in a lot of trouble. Just a classic summer from the Summer House group."

"It was fun," Paige added. "I had a great time."

"It's actually been fine," Paige told E! News in August. "I think because they were friends for so long, it's not as hard I think people thought it was going to be for them to coexist. Obviously there's been a few things, we've definitely had some drama in the house. It wouldn't be us if we didn't, but it's been pretty chill."

The 31-year-old also noted her costars are on "two totally different paths" since their breakup last year.

"They're both very happy, very content," Paige continued. "I think it just further proves that it was a great decision for the both of them."

Speaking of big life decisions, Paige—who has been dating fellow Bravolebrity Craig Conover for over three years—recently became a mom—to her new kitten Daphne.

"She's changed my whole life," Paige told E! on the CFDA red carpet. "She's, first of all, stunning. Second of all, I gave birth to her. When I was getting ready tonight, she just sat and watched me. She's a girl's girl. She's the best."

Following months of split speculation, Paige announced over the 2024 holidays that she and Craig had officially split after three years of dating.

“No one did anything. It wasn’t a bad thing,” Paige said during her Dec. 30 Giggly Squad podcast episode. “I think we both were just being really mature and saying what we want and what we didn’t want, and I think that’s extremely powerful to be able to voice how you’re feeling in real time and what you want for your future.”

The influencer also shot down rumors of cheating between her and the Southern Charm star and insisted the parting of ways was amicable.

“I think he is one of the best people I’ve met in my entire life,” Paige continued.  “I will remain the biggest fan of him and want the best for him, and he truly will get the best because he is the best.”

Over a week after the breakup news went public, Craig shared his side of the story.

"This has all been very, very unexpected, to say the least," Craig said in a video shared to Instagram Jan. 7. "I was very shocked and it's ok, it takes two people to be in a relationship. You can't control other people you can only control how you react to it."

That said, Craig also wants everyone to extend grace to his now-ex.

"I'm still processing everything, which is normal, I mean, three-year relationship, it's your best friend who you talk to all day, every day and then they're just gone," he noted. "So one day I'll be able to talk more on it but right now I just wanted to thank everyone for their kind messages."
