After previously playing matchmaker for Hoda Kotb, Jenna Bush Hager wants to lend her love life expertise to Paige DeSorbo.
“Any vision for [Paige’s] next relationship?” Tyra Banks asked DeSorbo’s “Giggly Squad” podcast host Hannah Berner on the Tuesday, April 15, episode of Today With Jenna & Friends, to which Berner, 33, responded, “I want her with a slightly older man.”
DeSorbo, 32, agreed, stating that she “would love someone [who is] 43.” Bush Hager quickly noted that she was 43, meaning she may know someone who could be a good fit for the Bravo star.
“OK, that’s my age,” she said to DeSorbo. “I’m gonna look in my Rolodex and see if there’s somebody.”
Craig Conover Addresses ‘Summer House’ Cast’s ‘Vitriol’ About Paige Split
Bush Hager’s matchmaker suggestion comes nearly four months after DeSorbo revealed that she and her ex-boyfriend Craig Conover split after three years of dating. “No one did anything. It wasn’t a bad thing. I think we both were just being really mature and saying what we want and what we didn’t want,” DeSorbo said in December 2024. “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.”
A source exclusively told Us Weekly in December 2024 that living in different cities played a part in the split, though Conover, 36, “was ready for the next steps and had plans to propose to Paige.”
DeSorbo has since denied rumors that she cheated on Conover, while the Southern Charm star neither confirmed nor denied cheating speculation during a February appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.
“I didn’t tell her what to say [about the breakup on her podcast],” he claimed. “I got a text and she said, ‘I’m announcing it on my podcast.’ And then she said it was mutual, which it wasn’t, I didn’t know about it, she called me and told me.”
That same month, DeSorbo accused Conover of “texting two bitches in the course of our relationship” during the season 9 premiere of Summer House, which he denied during an interview on the Tamron Hall show.
Since the split, DeSorbo has sparked dating rumors with Saturday Night Live’s Marcello Hernandez, which she shut down, and was spotted with a mystery man at a January Philadelphia Eagles game, though she remains single.
Conover, for his part, moved on with model and influencer Natalie Buffett last month. “Paige isn’t fazed by Craig dating,” another source exclusively told Us shortly after the dating news broke, noting that DeSorbo is too busy with her life and career to think about Conover’s new romance.
“[Paige] has been open to dating again, but is really focused on work,” the insider added. “It will take someone extremely special to be able to tie her down. She’s a hot commodity and people are always trying to date her. … Paige wants to have a fun summer and is doing what she wants right now.”
