Paige DeSorbo’s 2025 is off to a fast start, with one impressive milestone after another. From taking the stage with her podcast partner, Hannah Berner, to rubbing elbows with Hollywood’s elite on the Oscars red carpet, the Summer House star is having quite the year. And it’s only April.
DeSorbo’s journey began in the familiar surroundings of the reality TV world, where her charm and humor on Summer House made her a fan favorite. But as the months have passed, she’s become a household name in her own right, known for her unapologetic style, sharp wit, and ability to thrive in any environment. Her rise in the entertainment industry hasn’t just been about TV appearances, though. DeSorbo’s podcast, Giggly Squad, which she co-hosts with Berner, has also skyrocketed to fame, packing out venues like New York’s Radio City Music Hall. The duo, who originally coined their name as a joke, now use their platform to explore everything from dating and mental health to pop culture, creating a space where women can laugh and support one another. DeSorbo jokes that they’ve started a “cult,” but in reality, their community is a sisterhood—a place for women who want to be heard, seen, and empowered.
Their bond is real, and it’s one that transcends the microphone. “Girls will always say me and Hannah have helped them through certain times in their lives, but truly, they’ve helped us so many more times,” DeSorbo shares. It’s this reciprocal relationship with their fans that has made Giggly Squad more than just a podcast. It’s become a source of solace and connection for so many listeners.
And as if all of this weren’t enough, DeSorbo is now making her mark in the beauty industry. In mid-April, her first book—co-written with Berner—hits shelves, showing the world another side of the podcast duo. What’s fascinating is how the book came to life. Initially thinking they’d use a ghostwriter, DeSorbo and Berner ended up creating the book in a shared Google Doc, with Berner’s mom stepping in for editing duties. “It was a very humbling experience… but it was so much fun,” DeSorbo says, reflecting on the process. And given their massive success with Giggly Squad, this book is likely to become yet another fan favorite.
The recent book release is just one of the many projects DeSorbo has been juggling this year. At the same time, she’s taking the fashion world by storm, attending major events like Fashion Week, where she was spotted front row at shows like Christian Siriano and Michael Kors. She also took a glamorous spin on the Oscars red carpet, where she and Berner were tasked with interviewing stars like Amy Poehler and Hailey Bieber—further solidifying their status as pop culture aficionados.
But it’s not all high heels and glamorous events for DeSorbo. She also has her feet firmly planted in the beauty industry, partnering with TRESemmé for the launch of their Lamellar Gloss Collection. Known for her glossy locks and often impromptu hair changes—like chopping off her hair before Summer House reunions—DeSorbo is the perfect spokesperson for the brand. Her love for shiny, healthy hair is no secret, and she’s the first to admit it. “That’s what most of my DMs are, ‘How do you get your hair so shiny?’” she laughs. Her secret? A simple yet effective hair-care routine. DeSorbo swears by hair masks, oils, and a “full girl shower” to keep her hair looking its best.
“I’ve never dyed my hair,” she reveals. “I’m pretty chill with my hair routine.” This simple approach, combined with her love for glossy, healthy strands, has made her a go-to beauty inspiration for many. “I love an oil, love a slick back bun,” she shares, proving that even with a busy schedule, she knows how to keep her beauty regimen down to earth and effective.
For DeSorbo, getting ready is a ritual in itself. She reveals that she always starts with her hair, then moves on to makeup—a personal touch she believes is crucial. “I have to be in an oversized t-shirt to feel like my getting-ready process is good,” she jokes, showing that for all her glam moments, she still values comfort.
And when things don’t go as planned—whether it’s a bad hair day or an off moment in life—DeSorbo has learned to turn to self-care rituals to ground herself. “I’ve had many psychics tell me that if I’m ever having a bad day, I should take a shower,” she says. And it works. “I’ll always take a full girl shower and then do a hair treatment, like oiling my hair or doing a hair mask, and then I feel like something in my life is put together.”
It’s this kind of authenticity that has made DeSorbo so beloved by her fans. She’s built a career on being real, whether she’s hosting a podcast, starring on reality TV, or partnering with beauty brands. Her versatility is undeniable, and her ability to balance a growing list of projects with personal well-being is truly inspiring. As DeSorbo continues to expand her career and influence, there’s no doubt she’s just getting started.
Whether she’s hosting a podcast, attending a glamorous event, or partnering with beauty brands, Paige DeSorbo is constantly pushing the boundaries of what it means to be a multi-hyphenate. With her authenticity, humor, and passion for self-care, she’s proven that the best is yet to come. And with a year this packed already, we can’t wait to see what’s next for the Summer House star.
