Paige DeSorbo’s Inspiring Transformation: A New Chapter After Heartbreak

Paige DeSorbo has been prioritizing her well-being and self-care following her separation from Craig Conover. After the Summer House participant disclosed her breakup with the Southern Charm pillow entrepreneur in late December 2024, she has embraced nightlife and continued to discover more about herself throughout the journey.

In a January 21 episode of her podcast, Giggly Squad, Paige along with her co-host and best friend, Hannah Berner, discussed how some women believe their responsibility is to “fix” the men they date. However, Paige pointed out that this mindset may result in both individuals neglecting their own needs. “I believe this is why being single is incredibly beneficial, as it allows you to understand what you desire and what you need,” she expressed. She subsequently shared how her single status has prompted her to make new realizations about herself.

“I’ve only been single for a couple of months, yet already, regarding my personal life [and] my own individual life, I never wanted to exercise,” she clarified. “Of course, people want to work out to look attractive or whatever. I never felt the need to work out because I felt like I genuinely didn’t care about my body. I didn’t mind if I was healthy. I didn’t mind if I was fit. And then once I became single, I thought, Oh no, I need to take care of myself. You know?”

Paige DeSorbo mentions her new single routine has developed “organically”

Paige elaborated, stating that she “never” imagined she would develop a consistent routine, yet it came quite naturally to her. “I’ve been working out three times a week, and I haven’t even thought about it,” she remarked. “It was just incredibly empowering for me to witness that I’ve accomplished things I thought I would never be able to start or cease. And so, when it unfolds naturally, you’re like, Wait, I’m significantly stronger than I previously acknowledged.'”

Paige DeSorbo finds being single in her 30s to be “strange”

Giggly Squad that her experience in her thirties has felt a bit “odd.” The last time she was unattached, she recounted, she was in her late twenties, and socializing was much simpler.

“We are no longer in our twenties, so although you can absolutely be single like you were in your twenties, the feeling almost seems different,” she explained. “When I became single at 28, I thought, ‘You can find me at every single club in New York City,’ and I was present. You could easily spot me at a club. Now, I’m like, ‘I would nearly collapse if I went to a club until 4 a.m. Like, I would genuinely collapse. Thus, it is odd to consider, ‘What activities will I engage in as a single person?'”

Paige has engaged in various activities over the past month, attending a New York Knicks game with Hannah and visiting a Philadelphia Eagles game in Pennsylvania — though she hasn’t ventured to a club just yet. “I’ve enjoyed several dinners with my girlfriends,” she shared on the podcast. “I haven’t gone out yet.”
