Summer House 's Paige DeSorbo Calls Out Jesse Solomon's Dating Joke

As we saw in Summer House Season 8, Jesse wasted little time before revealing his crush on Paige, who was dating Southern Charm’s Craig Conover at the time. 

“Am I supposed to only hit on the single girls?” Jesse asked Kyle Cooke in Season 8, Episode 2. “Besides your wife, [Amanda Batula], obviously.”

“Depends on how much time you want to waste,” Kyle replied. “But, you’re like, ‘Damn, Paige is my jam.’”

“Maybe,” Jesse admitted.

Jesse Solomon and Paige DeSorbo address a potential romance

Now that Paige is single, some fans have wondered if she and Jesse would ever strike up a romance. Jesse addressed the question during his April 29 Amazon Live stream: “The real question is: Would Paige ever date me?” he told his viewers. “But thanks for the question.”

The clip was reshared on TikTok, where Paige seemingly co-signed Jesse’s response.

“I’m so proud of you for using critical thinking,” she wrote in the comments section.

Jesse Solomon sparks Paige DeSorbo dating "rumors"

Jesse and Paige faced more dating rumors back in April, just a few months after Paige announced her split from Craig. It all started when a few Summer House cast members visited West Wilson’s office at Complex and snapped a quick photo in front of the wall signage. Eagle-eyed fans noticed that Paige and Jesse were holding hands in the picture, and, in true Jesse fashion, he used the moment to fuel romance speculation. 

“Thanks for having us West,” he captioned his Instagram post. “Also, Paige and I are ready to take our relationship public. Love you my sweet petunia.”

Paige immediately hopped into the comments section to make it very clear Jesse was joking.

“This is how rumors start,” she wrote.

West and Lindsay Hubbard shared similar reactions to Jesse’s caption, writing “HR violation” and “Messy Jesse strikes again,” respectively.

Elsewhere in the Amazon Live stream, Jesse was asked if he wanted to “settle down” or simply keep dating. 

“Sometimes I ask myself the same thing,” he admitted. “Today, I really wish I had a girlfriend. Tomorrow, I might be, like, ‘I like being single.’ It just changes.”

Although he’s indecisive at the moment, Jesse reassured fans he wanted to eventually want to “find one person” and start a family.

“That’s just a really beautiful thing, to have a partnership with one person for so many years and just have such a deep trust. It sounds great. It really does,” he said before touching on his relationship fears. “I don’t want to get divorced, ever. So, I’m trying not to pull the trigger too early. I’m trying to find the right person... and stick with them.”
