Paige DeSorbo Stands by Kyle Cooke in His Comments About Craig Conover

Paige DeSorbo is supporting Kyle Cooke. On the latest episode of the “Summer House Season 9 After Show,” DeSorbo was asked by a producer if Cooke should have any regrets about calling Craig Conover a liar on a May 2024 episode of “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.” DeSorbo simply replied, “No.”

DeSorbo’s statement was especially surprising, considering Cooke has since softened his own stance. “Should I have straight up called him a liar? No,” Cooke said in the same “After Show” clip. “I could have handled it better.”

Cooke’s tension with Conover has been playing out in Season 9 of “Summer House,” after Loverboy founder Cooke felt slighted when Conover invested in a beverage competitor. DeSorbo was caught in the middle between her friend and then-boyfriend during the Season 9 drama, which was filmed before her split from Conover, and she admitted to feeling unsettled about it.

“I’m a little annoyed with Craig for reasons between me and Craig in our own relationship, but now, I have this extra layer of being mad at Craig about avoiding this conversation with Kyle, and that’s stressing me out,” she shared in the March 19 episode. “He’s making me more anxious, and I think what’s also making me mad is he’s not realizing he’s making me anxious.”

Paige DeSorbo Is Focusing On Her Career

As fans saw on “Summer House” Season 9, DeSorbo’s busy schedule was a pain point in her relationship with Conover, who was concerned that the couple would not be able to spend as much time together. Now that she’s single, DeSorbo has put her undivided energy into her career goals.

In March, DeSorbo, who holds a degree in broadcast journalism, co-hosted Vanity Fair’s live stream of the Vanity Fair Oscar Party alongside “Summer House” alum Hannah Berner, “Queer Eye” star Tan France and actress/TikTok personality Francesca Scorsese.

Her podcast with Berner, Giggly Squad, is also reaching new heights. “This fall, my podcast, ‘Giggly Squad,’ is going on a 60-city tour,” DeSorbo gushed on the February 26 episode of “Summer House,” which was filmed in the summer of 2024. “I have worked for this exact moment in my career for 10-plus years.”

Paige DeSorbo Made an “Empowering” Lifestyle Change

Besides her career ambitions, DeSorbo also has new personal goals as far as healthy living. In a January episode of her Giggly Squad podcast, she shared that even though she’s “only been single for a couple of months,” she’s already made some “empowering” lifestyle changes.

“I never wanted to work out,” DeSorbo told co-host Berner. “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?”

“I’ve been working out three times a week, and I haven’t even thought about it,” she continued. “It was just very empowering for my own self to see like, ‘Oh, I thought I’d never be able to quit that, or I thought I’d never be able to start that up.’ And so then when you’re doing it naturally you’re like, ‘Wait, I’m way stronger than I was giving myself credit for.’”
