Summer House alum Paige DeSorbo gave fans a lot to look forward to regarding her and Hannah Berner’s successful Giggly Squad podcast as she continues to expand her brand into other businesses, like her Daphne loungewear line and beyond.
The multi-hyphenate continues to juggle the many moving parts of her growing empire since stepping away from Summer House, between her life as an influencer, turning heads on red carpets like at the Las Culturistas Culture Awards, all while she builds her Daphne brand. Not to mention, she has big plans for her and Hannah’s popular, chart-topping podcast, as the New York City-based entrepreneur said in an Oct. 8 interview with The Zoe Report.
Said Paige, “Doing our live show, we’re scripting that.” What’s more, “We wrote a book. We can write what we think is funny. I feel like in 2025, there are no boundaries anymore.”
Paige DeSorbo opens up about her Daphne loungewear brand
Paige has also teased all the fabulous things happening with her Daphne loungewear brand, named after her beloved cat. In an Oct. 9 interview with Elle — one day after Paige announced the release of her “very Daphne fall” line on Instagram — Paige shared a little more about what to expect.
Paige revealed, “Well, I have so many ideas for Daphne. I think it can go in so many different directions, and there’s just so much opportunity there. Giggly Squad is my pride and joy. I think there will be a day where Giggly Squad isn’t just a podcast, and I want to do it ’til I’m 105 [years old].

In a recent interview with WWD, Paige spoke more about the Daphne brand’s mission. “At its core, I think Daphne is for the girl who used to wear her pajama shirt under her school clothes and now she’s grown up, ambitious, making things happen, but deep down her top priority is how to squeeze in a nap,” she said. “The brand is really about celebrating that duality…ambition and ease, comfort and quality.”
What is Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner’s Giggly Squad podcast?
Giggly Squad is a weekly podcast hosted by BFF’s and Summer House alums Paige and Hannah. According to the show’s description, the pair “make fun of everything, but most importantly themselves. They discuss pop culture, fashion trends, television, horoscopes, mental health, dating, and expose their personal lives.”
What started as Instagram live videos during the COVID-19 pandemic to “pass the time,” as Paige told CBS Mornings, became one of the most downloaded podcasts on Apple. The Zoe Report reported that in 2024, The Giggly Squad garnered 44 million downloads.
It’s been nonstop for the friends ever since, from their New York Times bestselling book, How to Giggle, to their nationwide Club Giggly tour.

Will Paige DeSorbo appear in movies?
Paige left fans at the edge of their seats when asked about rumors of hitting the big screen in the upcoming movie, The Devil Wears Prade 2. When appearing on CBS Mornings on the Sept. 30, she was asked about the gossip, saying, “If that’s true, that would be crazy. If that was true, and if I was seen on the set, I would be super excited … If I was there. And I would love that.”
“And wouldn’t it be crazy if you were working with Meryl Streep?” host Gayle King asked, to which Paige agreed it would be “insane.”
Why did Paige DeSorbo leave Summer House?
Paige confirmed her exit from Summer House in June following the conclusion of Season 9. “I have a little life update for you: I’ve made the decision not to return to Summer House,” she wrote. “Being part of this show has been one of the most rewarding chapters of my life — the friendships, the drama, the giggles. All unforgettable. But like all good things (and some bad decisions), it’s time for this chapter to close. You’ve seen me grow up over these last 7 summers. I’ll always be grateful for the memories, the community, and the opportunities this wild ride has brought me.”
She added in her statement at the time, “You haven’t seen the last of me, I promise. So much more to do together, but for now, you know you can always find me and Daphne in my bed.”
